Split across five primary archetypes (Powerhouse, Brawler, All-Rounder, Technician, or High-Flyer), you’re able to quickly throw some bones or lock in a submission and not need roughly 37 fingers for the mini-games that core WWE 2K games have made use of.
#WWE 2K BATTLEGROUNDS RATINGS SERIES#
RAW series came to an untimely demise, WWE 2K Battlegrounds focuses on quick strikes, outlandish grapples and ring-breaking finishers. Easily the most accessible WWE game since THQ’s Smackdown Vs.
There’s a lot that WWE 2K Battlegrounds gets right, but every win in its column comes with an asterisk next to it.įor starters, the combat is brilliant until the cracks start to show. That’s a shame, because WWE 2K Battlegrounds is exactly what the wrestling scene needs right now: A Saturday morning cartoon slobber-knocker, featuring character designs that would look right at home on Celebrity Deathmatch. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is that change, a last-minute entry in 2K’s Royal Fumble that developer Saber Interactive whipped up in record time. When you hit your lowest point, you’re open to the greatest of changes. Long story short, WWE 2K20 represented a new low for the annual franchise, the very bottom of the wrestling barrel. A cataclysm in a DVD-shaped shell, 2K’s Creative Concepts team was wholly unprepared to receive the baton that longtime WWE wrestling game studio Yukes had passed to them. It goes without saying that last year’s WWE 2K20 is the worst WWE game there ever was, the worst there is, and the worst there ever will be.
