    This is one of the best WWE Games I've Enjoyed since the THQ Smackdown vs Raw series or WWE 2K19 but this isn't a 10 out of 10 Games

    Pro . The Gameplay is Entertaining . King of the Battlegrounds is a good take on a "BR" Mode . Characters skins are great Cons . The Story is Awful and Boring (A Crap way to Unlock John Cena) . The A.I is Garbage (During Mexico or Boot Camp

    . The Gameplay is Entertaining
    . King of the Battlegrounds is a good take on a "BR" Mode
    . Characters skins are great

    Cons

    . The Story is Awful and Boring (A Crap way to Unlock John Cena)
    . The A.I is Garbage (During Mexico or Boot Camp Story they only go for the Usable Goat or Helicopter) (Also Walk in circles around the Ring)
    . Characters Unlocks like Legendary are Expensive which forces people to get the Microtransactions)
    . Why is Roman Reigns Legendary but Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy is Rare

    The game has tons of items to unlock and an overall good amount of stuff to do, but all of this really falls flat when the gameplay gets so repetitive. No matter what mode you play, there isn’t much gameplay variety outside of the standard gameplay mechanics. You don’t have the options that you get in the usual WWE 2K yearly release and it all wears thin fast and becomes a chore to play. The game is honestly fun at first, but it just doesn’t hold up well in the long run. I honestly prefer WWE 2K20 over Battlegrounds and that’s saying a lot with all the problems that game had.

    The game will perpetually get compared to WWE All Stars and I think it’s fair. I have to admit that through my rose colored glasses, I remember All Stars as the better overall title at launch, but the lack of roster depth (including no women) and the fact that it died off because its parent studio did really hurt its potential. The fact that Battlegrounds still that potential to be discovered and 2K can do so much more with it makes this an interesting title to watch, and one I’d recommend giving a shot if it intrigues you enough.

    WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a fun and needed change for the series, that became too gritty and complex. Now this game is closer to the 90's arcade games and may not be as deep as previous WWE games, but its fun as hell, and if you are one of those who love wrestling, you'll like this one.
