![]() ![]() Hence, this year's version of MyGM has way so much depth – the growth has been exponential. Last year's version was serviceable enough, and criticisms were mostly aimed at its lack of depth. Granted, not all game modes received the same amount of attention from the improvement department, but those that did get that attention killed it this year.įor example, the MyGM Mode, a game mode that has been requested by players for years before being reinstated in 2K22, is back this year and is arguably the one that received the most improvements in this year's outing. Visual Concepts really built upon what they already have and made everything better. While the selection is exactly the same as last year's, what is offered on the menu is deeper and most impressive. Sadly, though, WWE 2K23 isn't the version of the game that allows players to play online against other players in MyUNIVERSE or MyGM, which is a huge disappointment for many fans of the game. Of course, there are also online multiplayer offerings that let players go head-to-head against others. Outside of the ring, WWE 2K23 also offers a similar array of game modes that were present in last year's game: Exhibition Matches for those who just want to get into the ring and play matches, MyUNIVERSE for those who want to fantasy book wrestling shows, MyGM for those who want to play a management sim-style game mode that involves running WWE's TV shows, MyRISE for those who want to roleplay as a superstar trying to make a name in WWE, as well as the divisive MyFACTION mode, the by-the-numbers game mode that forces in microtransactions and seasonal live service elements to the game. You take control of one of the 250+ wrestlers available in the game and battle against other wrestlers, controlled either by an AI or by a human player. WWE 2K23's gameplay remains largely the same as WWE 2K22 – in terms of what you can and cannot do in the ring. Speaking of additions, let's go discuss the details. This game is especially great for those who skipped last year's outing, as they get the better version of “the same game” this year. Thankfully, unlike most of the run-of-mill yearly games out there, WWE 2K23 shines by actually offering a wide selection of additions that make it worth picking it up even if you've already played last year's version. ![]() Building upon things that already work is working smart, although we still lament how game developers are forced in this day and age to release yearly incarnations of the same video game. Now, WWE 2K23 is the first among those “future versions of the game,” and while many would bemoan the game for being a derivative of last year's version, that's not entirely a bad thing. We reviewed that game last year and we've found the game, along with other game critics and fans, to be a good reinstatement of the franchise, laying down foundations for future versions of the game. Following the critical failure of WWE 2K20, Visual Concepts skipped the 2021 version of the game to release WWE 2K22, a return to form that brought the series back on track. This is the eighth WWE 2K game and just the third game that Visual Concepts solely developed without the help of former lead developers Yuke's. ![]() WWE 2K23 is this year's version of WWE 2K, coming out on March 17, 2023, for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, or earlier on March 14, 2023, for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe or Icon Editions of the game. In this WWE 2K23 review, we're going to discuss each one of these improvements and how much they add to the full package. There are a lot of improvements spread out throughout different modes, like the massive improvement in MyGM, the online multiplayer addition in MyFACTION, wider selections in the Creation Suite, a much more flexible Universe Mode, and a much improved MyRISE. Down to its core, on the mat, it's the same game with arguably fewer bugs and glitches (but they're still there). If you've played WWE 2K22, then you're getting mostly the same game with a lot of new bells and whistles. So, if you're just looking for assurance on whether or not you should get this game, there you have it. This early into this WWE 2K23 review, it's important to set expectations on what you're getting from this game: it builds upon the foundations that Visual Concepts has already laid out in WWE 2K22, deriving from it and improving almost all aspects. WWE 2K23 is this year's entry to the sports entertainment simulation video game from Visual Concepts and 2K Sports.
