It’s safe to say that this game looks and feels good. Visual Concepts taking charge of the scanning courtesy of Pixelgun Studios, the same company that scans the NBA players for NBA 2K, is definitely a blessing without the need for disguises. The game looks infinitely better from the opening screen to the transitions and even to the entrances and wrestler models. I may be the only person, or one of few, to say this, but WWE 2K18 feels like a breath of fresh air compared to WWE 2K17.
This is okay, as long as there are some changes in the following year. That game was as much a step in the right direction as WWE 2K15was, and WWE 2K17played it safe in my opinion, only making moderate changes to keep things as efficient as possible. "In what seemed like a good idea on paper, this time around WWE 2K18 adopts a much more RPG-like approach to M圜areer, giving you the ability to explore the backstage areas, chat with superstars, align yourself with or against The Authority, and take on side quests that further your alignment as a face or heel and unlock perks.The last game I personally reviewed was WWE 2K16back in 2015. There, IGN's Mitchell Saltzman pointed out the blueprint the mode follows: Most reviewers, though, weren't able to hit the endgame there before reviews were filed, so plenty of attention instead went to M圜areer. Road to Glory is a big talking point this year for WWE 2K18, as the ability to take created wrestlers online and compete for a shot at a pay-per-view reflecting the current one on the schedule is a big deal. They can also create entrances and their own entrance videos, not to mention customizing an entire show in MyUniverse. Not only can players create their own wrestler from an almost overwhelming number of options, but the system lets players create their own logos and upload them. One could argue no other game goes as above and beyond in this area. Mazique went on to give the game an 8.3 out of 10, with the deeply customizable options and creation abilities a big part of the positive note. We're talking about multi-layered clothing with each piece potentially containing a different fabric-all under your control."
As I went through all of the options, I couldn't believe all of the things I could change and sculpt. Here's Forbes' Brian Mazique talking about the creation suite: "The create-a-wrestler feature is insanely deep. And indeed, especially during entrances, it can be hard to tell if the player is watching the game or a broadcast.īut what good is great graphics if players can't implement themselves into the game well? The team worked hard on a graphical overhaul to make sure the game looks just like real life. It isn't a complete overhaul of the system by any means, but a player being able to pick which one they like better is clearly a welcomed change.Īs any review will point out, WWE 2K18 looks downright stunning. This addition only makes the game feel more realistic, too, because it adheres to a weight system-so Enzo Amore isn't going to be throwing around Braun Strowman.Īlso of note is the fact players are presented with two styles of submission gameplay. A new carry system does exactly what it sounds like, which gives players a chance to interact with various parts of the environment while fighting. Indeed, the game goes beyond in this area. On top of that there’s more options this time around – even when it comes to how you want to submit someone you have a choice." Matches are fun, the back and forths you get into it allow a match to build, and reversals are far more balanced than before. "There’s little argument that gameplay-wise what’s here is among the developer’s best work. While outlining his review, Trusted Reviews' Simon Miller emphasized this point: Though it uses the same engine as the past, the developers have done enough to make this game feel fresh while giving players one of the most important features of all: options. Fans won't have to look far to find reviewers who have nothing but praise for the gameplay itself in 2K18.
