![]() ![]() In fact, there are some notable (yet understandable) omissions to the Cena showcase that were painfully felt - made even worse by the fact that there are multiple instances where you’re wrestling the same person in a different era. Some can last for about two to three whole minutes, during which you can basically put the controller down and do something else before you’re allowed to continue. This wouldn’t be too bad if the game didn’t snatch control away from the player to show off footage a person could easily look up online. However, for those who are familiar with Cena’s career, the entire mode reads more as tiresome - especially when you’re forced to follow certain objectives in a match that leads to an in-game cutscene, which then leads to inter-spliced footage from the real-life match. Cena narrates the beginning and end of the matches players will partake in, which does add a nice personal touch as Cena speaks about where he was in his career and how these big-time losses affected him. ![]() On the other hand, it’s a mode that proves to be long-winded to the point of being exhausting.

Then came the soft reboot that was WWE 2K22 after a year was skipped to make as polished a final product as possible. As a result, the WWE 2K series no longer has the benefit and allowance of “Well, where else are you going to play a good wrestling game?” Visual Concepts certainly had an uphill battle to contend with, having been involved with WWE 2K20 - a true disaster that almost put the very future of the series into doubt. That’s to say nothing of the general advancements of the current console generation, as the novelty of a visual spectacle overall is reaching a state of homogeny where players expect much more when it comes to graphical fidelity. The wrestling offerings made with smaller budgets may lack the presentation and visual flair of the big dog that is the WWE 2K phenom, but said titles focus on different aspects, styles, and promotions of the wrestling industry at large, whereas 2K has been slipping in its efforts to cater to its massive fanbase and their expectations. WWE 2K23 is finally here - two games since its hard pivot from the WWE 2K20 dark ages - trying to assert its dominance in a landscape where the series is slowly losing its monopolistic chokehold as the only major source of quality wrestling games.
