WWE 2K Battlegrounds Review - The Final Verdict

  • WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a massive step up for the franchise compared to the main franchise’s most recent entries. Though it’s offering a different experience in its more cartoonish, over-the-top style, it’s as fun as I’ve had in a WWE game in a long time.
    Despite issues with the AI and some gameplay difficulties with more crowded game modes, I kept wanting to play Battlegrounds. Even with its intrusive microtransactions, this is the closest I’ve seen to a game fully capturing the essence of what makes the WWE special in a few years. It’s fluid, exaggerated, bug-free, and, most importantly, unbridled fun. It might not be the most impressive new game on the block, but it’s a great way to step into the ring once more.

      Because it was the perfect mix of realistic wrestling manuvers and the cartoonish exaggeration of commentary like how roddy piper when doing a sleeper hold actually breaking someones neck. Either all stars or immortals captures that lightning in a bottle and its sad that no wrestling games have been able to do it since

    Not gonna lie, I have been playing the hell out of this game. I really like it. My one critique is the move sets. There are not enough grapple moves. I can even over look the fact that all the moves are the same for each class except for sig and finisher, if they would have assigned 4 moves via right stick for everyone and 4 more via stick and should button. I think 8 grapples along with all the other strikes could have really boosted this game up more for me.

    Bought it, played it, beat the campaign. Really tried to like the game. It feels unfinished, no grapple moves on the ground besides the poor submission move, no superplexes/corner grapples, just a lousy face pole slam, bugs everywhere, just frustrating on a higher difficulty (every move gets countered). It’s only fun with friends in a cage match but gets old fast due to limited match types.
