WWE 2K18

A new year and a new installment in the wrestling game series for the WWE Federation from 2K and the development of Yuke’s Studios, which has been working on this title since the first PlayStation generation. I am a big fan of wrestling games and a good follower. After working on WWE events for years, I am given the task of reviewing games of this type and after spending a while with this year’s version of the game It’s time to see if it brings the improvements we’re hoping for, or not the same usual annual experience with an entertaining game, but it’s missing a lot to be a good game that can be taken seriously, so let’s start the conversation.

Let’s get straight to the heart of the matter: WWE 2K18 offers a significant improvement in the game’s graphics, wrestler models and the general atmosphere of the ring and its surroundings, as well as the presentation and different play styles. They seem distinctive, but the subject matter differs from one wrestler to another, and there are huge differences in the quality of graphics from one region to another, and let’s not forget the technical issues. Strange things from time to time that you will inevitably encounter in this game will really surprise you and raise the question of whether there is a team present to test the game before its release! As far as audio goes, there’s not much to talk about other than the annoying voices of the commentators! It was as if the recording of their voices took place in a different place, far from the atmosphere of the ring and wrestling and in a very boring way with repetitive dialogues.

Let’s leave the technical side and talk about the style of play. Well, whoever played last year’s game will feel at home with this year’s version. The same game system that overly relies on the R2 button and tries to reverse shots. And if you are a pro at timing and reversing your opponent’s punches, things will come very easy for you. That’s the truth. The game, like last year’s version, takes the bad and runs with it. The handhold system to surrender was not amusing as you are trying to rotate the analog stick within a circle you see on the screen while your competitor is trying to do the same to catch you and make you submit, which is not amusing at all . The rest of it Things haven’t changed. A lot, be it in the way of escaping the count before defeat, or in the way of making the final blows with a lot of energy and fitness, or in other game-related matters, and in fact the large number is exaggerated used buttons unnecessarily.

What really sets the game apart is the diverse game modes. There are many types of matches between regular challenges, cage and ladder matches, pinning anywhere and the rest of the fighting styles that we see and know from WWE shows. The game here The annual version offers more options for fighting outside the ring, in parking lots, in back offices and other things. Locations: The game also features a large number of wrestlers and various options for the wrestler design phase, giving players a great opportunity to be creative and present different ideas.

MyCareer mode is the equivalent of the story mode in previous games, where you take your wrestler on a journey until he becomes the world champion of the first promotion, NXT, in the main event at the WrestleMania concert. You can now wander behind The scenes seem like it was an open world game with a good development of this mode. This game is good when played as an entertainment game in gameplay mode. And whenever there are players to fight with, there is a lot of madness, especially with the different wrestling styles, but since it is a single player game, the game style still needs a lot of modification and development, and Although the development team tries to make this possible with each new installment, we are still far from offering a perfect wrestling game, as was the case for a generation. PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64.

This game was tested on a PS4 version provided by the publisher before the game was released.
