WWE 2K25 Ongoing Comments

There are few sports that are greater than professional wrestling matches throughout the “video game”, but when you think about it, it's a little weird: WWE itself is more like a carefully choreographed battle or dance sequence in a movie than an actual match, and the goal of the game is based on the goal of the game to fight for victory. But, besides the inherent contradictions, I have enjoyed my time so far in the WWE 2K25 (only a few days), thanks to its much-improved display mode and the gaming feel in general.

When I enter a new version of the game of the year like this, the first thing I have to do is the way to get the land. Even though I've been playing wrestling games since N64 days, my first stop was the tutorial because unless things go wrong, some things are always a little different (e.g., this year, people see long-term rewards of chain wrestling), or I've forgotten how to do some very important, very specific button sequences that you need to be able to do. WWE Games has been introduced for a while, especially with other sports game franchises (hi, Madden!) and WWE 2K25 are no exception. This is an incredibly detailed tutorial that will take you through everything you need to be a champion and explain in depth “what to do the action and how to do it.” Whether you need a quick review or are learning to do an Irish whip for the first time, Performance Center is a great teaching tool. It seems like a weird thing, but every version of the game is someone’s first (or maybe their first), and I’m glad that the visual concept seems to remember those people.

Once I refreshed my memory, it took me a while. The WWE 2K25 lineup definitely piles up, whether you're playing classics like Bret “Hit Man” Hart here, wrestlers are transformed into Dave Bautista/Batista/Batista and Dwayne Johnson/Dwayne Johnson/The Rock, like “Stone Cold Cold” Steve Austin, or doink the doink the Clown the Callown. I also admire the same guy from several versions of history in WWE. Why WWE 2K25, I Do Several triple HSs are needed, each HS has its own different statistics, thank you! You know, the 1997 version is considered a homeless compared to the modern version of Rock? Not me, but that's the statistics! Remember what Rhea Ripley’s visual style was in 2020? Or 2017? When was the last time you considered “Carnival” Rick Rude? These things are great, and better yet, you can edit almost every aspect of these wrestlers, from how crowds react to them to adjusting individual statistics, and if you don't like how visual concepts think of them, you can change the action. The ability to adjust individual wrestlers is nothing new, but as this lineup grows bigger, it can be reminiscent of how impressive all of them are.

Among other new things in WWE 2K25, I've been in the gender contest for a brief time so far (I mean, the people among us) No Want to impress Roman rule? ) and the new Myrise storyline. But, so far, I've caught most of my attention is the presentation pattern this year, which follows the lineage and Anoa'i, Fatu and Maivia families. Paul “Wiseman” Heyman hosted this year and he obviously has one Very Good times provide a backstory explaining who the players are and why these games are important. There are a lot of archival clips here, like in the past few years, despite the issue of blurring some people's faces (perhaps due to rights issues?).

Anyway, Showcase feels better than last year’s version (partially because we have a full ring entrance this time, and the mid-match reviews are really good, and there’s an interesting twist in every game here), this time sometimes asks you to change the outcome of losing these family members in a real WWE storyline. If I'm playing any signs overall, then there are no more clippings that match the material that interrupts your gameplay. Instead, important moments are recreated in the game, meaning they work more organically even if you don't follow the list. So far, I'm doing an explosion, like beating Hulk Hogan's lasting snot with a horizontal Yokozuna.

Another thing that stands out is the performance of everything. The WWE series has always been a look, but this year's visual concept makes things more beautiful than ever. Bruises, blood and sweat are more realistic, and you can tell how long a game has been going on, who is winning and where the guy in the ring is punished. This is really impressive.

When we entered the first weekend, this is where I used with the WWE2K25. There is still a lot to do before I can hit a number on this bad boy, but it looks great and feels great (like the WWE 2K24), and a lot more. If you can, you can have a high-end wrestling buffet. So far, what I have is fascinating, but there are still a variety of dishes on the table that your boy has to test. It's better to go back to it – that circle itself won't be flat.

Are you playing? Let us know what you think so far!
