amazon WWE 2K22 reviews
WWE 2K22 is the latest version of the “American wrestling” series based on the famous WWE TV channel. The game also marks the return after the “disastrous failure” of the WWE 2K20 version, the source of the WWE 2K21 version not being released.
WWE 2K22 is also the first game that is not released every year, but 2K spends time developing for 2 years.
Through the trailers and gameplay clips of WWE 2K22 in the past time, it also shows that the investment is somewhat more serious.
Are WWE 2K22’s promises to bring an American wrestling game really convincing?
The biggest difference between WWE 2K22 comes from the control system. Different from the way to execute the attacks as well as the counterattack system of the previous versions, it has now been changed to bring light and strong punches when combined to create combos, in addition, when used with the “grapple” button will create more combo sequences.
Honestly, even if you’re a fan of the previous versions, it’s still best to play through the tutorial – quick and simple – to grasp this new control system, or beware of being hit! With my feeling, thanks to this change, the characters now control more like fighting games, when creating a sense of rhythm, controlling each force in each blow of the wrestlers. !
However, WWE 2K22 is not a “hardcore” fighting game because the game itself does not necessarily possess technical combo strategies, but is at a level enough for entertainment. Quite suitable for many newcomers to get acquainted, also enough to create new flavors for old fans.
The counterattack system is also changed when not only pressing the triangle button to counterattack but sometimes there are cases where the player is in a state of being “stuck”, having to guess whether the opponent will press the button lightly or not. Hit hard to get the right response! This system is further expanded when now even when performing “ultimate moves” it is still possible to be blocked. It creates many surprises in the matches!
Due to a rather drastic change in control style, accompanied by a lot more refinement in movement and physical interaction, has made the feel of WWE 2K22 better and more profound.
Like the previous versions, WWE 2K22 also owns a variety of game modes such as singles, teams, Battle Royale, etc. In addition, the Universe mode has a slight change such as being able to choose to play with a wrestler you like and experience their events, or as before, players are allowed to customize, add or change customization.
What’s new in WWE 2K22 to retain players? That is the reform as well as the return to the “old but new” games: myRise – renamed from the previous MyCareer section, compete and collect the cards of your favorite wrestlers and tests challenges in the myFaction section, marvel at the surprisingly fun myGM battle management game, finally experience the “historic” play of the famous wrestler Rey Mysterio through the epic 2K Showcase!
Of all the above games, myRise, myGM, and 2K Showcase are the ones that make writers excited, play for hours and forget about time.
myRise greatly improves both quality and quantity, players can play according to their storyline, make choices and influence the sequels in their own journey story. After each match, players receive points and other rewards to further refine their characters to be stronger and more beautiful.
Although not the best, myRise’s storyline and interpretation are a huge improvement compared to the MyCareer section in WWE 2K20. The details and the voice acting is done more carefully, although sometimes it looks quite forced, it is acceptable in general. This time, the team still invests in two different storylines, based on whether the player creates a male or female fighter!
2K Showcase in general, in a nutshell, helps us follow in the footsteps of the important events of legendary wrestler Rey Mysterio, from competing events with Chavo Guerrero or JBL, etc. In this game, it should be noted that if you want to experience all the good, the player must fulfill all the requirements that WWE 2K22 offers.
Getting it right not only gives us a sneak peek into Rey’s history through his “footage” and sentiments, but also presents us with new characters, arenas or clothes, etc.
myGM allows us to participate in choosing one of the managers of three shows: Smackdown, Raw, or NXT as well as choosing the wrestlers to participate in our show.
The corresponding selection of wrestlers is as important as the selection of managers, they all have their bonuses and can affect quite deeply the tactics given to create a response, and the ability to earn money after each show.
This section of WWE 2K22 has some pretty good points when players are also entitled to buy support cards such as helping boxers quickly relax, “promoting” their favorite wrestlers, or even playing pranks on competitors.
In addition, to increase bonus points, players should also note the requirement criteria of the tycoon Triple H suggested weekly.
In general, these items are not new, but because they are well done, elaborate, and sufficient, full of excitement, the writer feels satisfied or feels this is a step in the right direction for the game series in general, and WWE 2K22 in particular.
WWE 2K22 recreates a more “punchy” control system, more fun, but the counter-attack system is still an inadequate point. This system is no longer simply pressing the triangle button, because there are many moves when being clamped, having to sit … guess if the machine will respond with a light hit button, normal attack. These situations look like they’re playing a game of swag, placing more emphasis on luck than strategy.
Although the developer has brought back and revamped the “old but new” game modes, it is a pity that it has not been able to bring the section that allows you to create your own story, like the versions before the 2K takeover.
This is also one of the most requested features by fans but has not been able to appear.
The rest of the competition items also do not have any memorable additions. Several WWE 2K20 arenas have also been removed from this edition. The general invisible makes the writer feel that WWE 2K22 is a streamlined and carefully refined version, rather than an outstanding, breakthrough version.
The graphics of WWE 2K22 are only “beautiful” infamous wrestlers when shown in detail, but other less famous wrestler models are still quite rough and not very true to their appearance in real life. One of the small “focus” that the writer noticed is that the skin of the characters in the self-made wrestler section looks very “fake”, not as real as WWE 2K19 and the WWE 2K20 version.
WWE 2K22’s lighting or shading system, which is praised as “top-notch”, is not very “top”, for example, in addition to a few arenas showing beautiful, lifelike lighting, the rest are not quite there. What a big difference in graphics. But this version is well optimized, so players no longer have to worry about “crashing” suddenly.
In addition, in the myGM section, the writer noticed A.I. The machine is often “buffed” when choosing to play for 15 weeks, but when switching to 25 weeks of play, A.I. The machine is made lighter. It doesn’t seem very balanced in this range.
