    WWE2K22 is the best wrestling game ever made in my opinion. I've been totally blown away with how smooth and fast it feels, the graphics are out of this world. The character models look so realistic you could honestly believe it was. It also has more game modes than you can shake a stick at. Huge credit to Visual Concepts for getting it perfect after much disappointment with WWE2K20. TrustWWE2K22 is the best wrestling game ever made in my opinion.

    This is the most fun I’ve had on any WWE game since possibly WWE 13 and the SVR series.

MyRise is the best career mode 2K has ever created, Online is improved and allows much more customization, Showcase mode is different from previous showcase modes which makes it very interesting and unique. Then there is also MyFaction and GM Mode which are currently lacking a bit, but the potential for the next games are there. The gameplay and the graphics stand out in my view. This is by far the best looking wrestling game of all time. Gameplay wise, it is super refreshing and is much different than anything seen in previous games. It is a combination of the simulation style seen in previous 2K games and the arcade style seen in games like Here Comes the Pain. It’s very smooth and a fun experience.

    I’ve played about 15 wrestling games, and this one would rank in my top 3.

    WOW!! I’ve been trying to find somewhere to give a review about WEE2k22. I’ve bought many previous versions but either it was the gameplay or the graphics which turned me off. I’m lost for words on this version. The models are brilliant and move and look so photogenic and lifelike. Absolutely stunning!! And the revamped controls are awesome making for full immersion and FUN!! You can hearWOW!! I’ve been trying to find somewhere to give a review about WEE2k22.

The models are brilliant and move and look so photogenic and lifelike. Absolutely stunning!! And the revamped controls are awesome making for full immersion and FUN!! You can hear the pain and slapping sound, audio is superb. And the girls, so hot!! I used to turn off the intro but now I watch it with amazement. Yes moving, smiling, even wiggles and taunts. It’s not just a game but an experience. And what’s more, I’m winning thanks to the new simpler system. This is one hell of a game and experience that I can say is every cent worth the $109 I paid for it. All quality and top class. You can tell that the developers worked really, really hard on this game and created a masterpiece in my humble opinion. Congratulations to the devs. Brilliant game and experience. Absolutely stunning on the x box series x. Expand

    Really loving this game so far, enjoying the new gameplay/fight mechanics. I'd definitely recommend picking this up, and although there is still room for improvement in the likes of gm mode, overall this game is definitely worth getting. The best in the 2k series in my opinion.

    In short, despite a few bugs I have encountered I would say the gameplay experience is JUST decent. Pretty much better than WWE2k20.

    WWE 2K22 is a very strong improvement to the disappointing 2K20. It's more polished, fluid and gameplay has been better. The new modes are good also. It's a nice comeback to the series and hopefully they will build on 2K22.

    Comeback game of the year. This is a wrestling game that will be talked about for years. It's that damn good.

    A huge upgrade from 2k20, this is an approachable game for new players; veteran players and those more adept at fighting games have plenty of combos and breakers to master.

    Overall a well done reboot to the 2k20 engine and ball busting failure. After 2 years of using and filming with 2k20. This game is so fresh and nice. Honestly runs flawless on a Series S. So worth it. And I think it’s a wonderful step in the right direction.

    This game is a big step up than 2K20 and with the new range of modes the replay ability of the game has gotten stronger at a time when it needed it. Even though there are some limitations with the GM Mode the mode is still fun and if this is the foundation set then next year should bring one of the best games in the series.

    谁能想到WWE 2k22今年做的这么有上进心呢?在摆烂这么多年之后,这款相比以前已经很棒了。

    WWE 2K22 is a wonderful addition to the franchise. With a vast array of gameplay options, excellent graphics, and an in-depth customisation section, there is something for everyone. Sadly, there are still issues but most will amuse you.

    WWE 2K22 is a massive step up in quality for the troubled wrestling franchise. The gameplay engine is in great shape, and the mode quality is mostly solid. While there are improvements to be made going forward, I'm no longer totally hopeless about the future of the series.

    WWE 2K22 hits different and it might just bruise your face if you give it that same evil eye that you gave 2K20 since its far better.
