WWE 2K22
SCORE: 50
I am very thankful my dad had the
financial resources to purchase WWE 2K22 on the Xbox One. It would have
been ten dollars more expensive to get the Xbox Series X or PS5 version
at the time of the purchase. Why spend the extra money for a game that
has historically had all kinds of problems? That was how all of us here
at Family Friendly Gaming looked at it. Plus the PR and Marketing could
have sent us a copy of the game if they put their best foot forward to
Family Friendly Gaming Universe. They know we call them exactly how we
see them.
The glitches and horrible hair/beards really stick out in WWE 2K22 for
me. My dad and I did a live stream of WWE 2K22 and we showed off
numerous glitches in one hour. How are these games so glitchy so many
years later? WWE 2K22 supposedly went back to older retro controls but
we found the same problems. The ladder mini game is still lame. The
graphical glitches persist. We can hit the referee now but, really spend
more time needing the referee to count. Button mashers can never be
pinned or submitted. Matches could take forever thanks to how easy it is
to get back up (i.e. last man standing).
Too many characters in WWE 2K22 are behind pay gates. Half of the
characters seem to be women now. I have zero interest in female
wrestling. That is one of the reasons we stopped paying for the WWE
Network. We do not want to financially support their irrational push of
female wrestlers on us. Put it on its own show and see if it actually
draws. I suspect it would not.
The issues families will have with WWE 2K22 are violence, blood, lack of
attire, enticement to lust, bad language, and more. The obnoxious
reversal system continues. We could constantly press Y to reverse
reversals to a crazy point. Animations take a long time in WWE 2K22. I
noticed some of the same fans being reused in WWE 2K22 over and over
again. The computer AI makes little sense. We pointed this out in the
Royale Rumble match we played.
WWE 2K22 is a glitchy ugly mess that expects even more money to play all
of the cool wrestlers. Rey Mysterio is the featured athlete. You can
play the important moments of his career. I like Rey and I have no
interest of doing that. Do you?
