The WWE series has been a game that some gamers have been eagerly waiting for every year. However, in 2020, the developer team released such a game that the fans of the series were really disappointed and reflected this in their comments. After this disaster, the developer of the game Visual Concepts decided to take a break for 1 year, and the publisher company of the series, 2K, entrusted the WWE series to Saber Interactive for 1 year. Saber Interactive released WWE 2K Battlegrounds last year, putting a different touch on the series and focusing on a completely cartoon-like visual understanding. It didn’t turn out badly, though, but it still wasn’t the fresh blood expected for the series. And this year Visual Concepts is back with WWE 2K22. So, has WWE 2K22 happened?
Frankly, Visual Concepts took a 1-year hiatus. While WWE 2K22 is a much more sedate and enjoyable production than the version in 2020, many silly mistakes in 2K20 have been fixed and a playable production has emerged. Frankly, it is possible to say that 2K22 is as effective a production as 2K19 as entertainment. In this sense, we believe that the followers of the series will enjoy it.
When you take your first step into the game, of course, you encounter a training stop. After the trainings you received from WWE star Drew Gulak, you are now ready and ready to dust off the rings. While the game’s developer team presented the controls in a much simpler way than the previous game, they finally found a way to clear up the confusion. You easily adapt to WWE 2K22, which has a much cleaner combat system. Thanks to the new combat system, you can make rapid attacks and easily grasp your opponent. It’s up to you to dodge the moves and make the finishing moves. But of course, you need to spend some time in the game for special combos.
There are over 160 wrestlers in WWE 2K22, and of course, lots of game modes as well. To play with celebrities such as Dominik Mysterio, The Undertaker, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, Batista, Dolph Ziggler and Hulk Hogan, you need to unlock certain unlocks or earn a certain amount of Virtual Currency (VC). Of course, you can create your own wrestlers as well as the wrestlers involved.
Finally, the MyCareer mode, which we entered in 2K20 in 2020, is no longer available; name has changed. We will now know it as MyRise. In MyRise mode, you create your male or female character, and then you try to climb the career ladder one by one. There are different stories and it’s really fun to watch. It will be frequented by those who like to start from 0.
If you are one of those people who like to be in the management team rather than in the ring, this time you are entering MyGM mode. Here, you can create your own character, as there are ready-made GM characters, and then you add fame to your reputation by trying to win the matches with the wrestlers in your team.
Showcase, on the other hand, hosts a wonderful memories parade with Rey Mysterio. You witness the glorious history of Mysterio in this episode and experience the important matches from the beginning.
Another mod is MyFaction. In this mode, you progress through the cards and try to form a team of 4 women and 4 men. In this mode, it is important to improve your team with the points you receive by winning the matches.
Of course, besides these modes, there are also quick game modes. You can choose any of the established wrestlers in the game and teleport directly to the ring and start to throw the chairs and break the stairs on your opponent’s back.
The artificial intelligence of the game is definitely better than 2K20. The developer team will have found out what they did wrong in a year, and they managed to fix this issue to a large extent. However, we must say that something is still missing. Visual Concepts needs more work. Because your character can still get stuck on objects, your teammates can hinder you.
Visuality, on the other hand, has undoubtedly been moved to a very satisfactory level with the power of PlayStation 5. The models and animations of the wrestlers look very good. In this regard, progress has been made compared to 2K20. However, there is one point, which is annoying waiting screens. There are too many standby screens, so it can get boring after a while.
Music works well while in-game, but the fact that there are only 12 pieces causes you to listen to the same songs after a while. We think that this should be diversified, especially in a game that gets gassed from this kind of music.
Conclusion
In conclusion, WWE 2K22 is undoubtedly a game that has made a significant progress compared to WWE 2K20. More precisely, it managed to become a game, because it was not even possible to call it a game for WWE 2K20, if you remember, we gave 40 points out of 100. This time, he studied the Visual Concepts lesson better and at least managed to bring the series back to the WWE 2K19 setting. With its dynamics, fun texture, wide range of wrestlers and overhaul of the control system, WWE 2K22 has been an enjoyable production. Fans of the series will enjoy playing this time.
