In the world of WWE gaming, 2K22 arrives with a thunderous entrance, boasting new features like the chaotic Bloodline Rules match and a revamped MyRise storyline. The game attempts to inject fresh excitement into the franchise, allowing players to take on the roles of male and female wrestlers in a high-stakes battle for dominance. However, while the game's ambition is commendable, it falls short in delivering the same level of engaging storytelling seen in its predecessor, WWE 2K24.
One of the standout additions in WWE 2K22 is the Showcase mode, which delves into the rich legacy of Samoan wrestlers in the WWE. From classic matchups to alternate history scenarios, the mode offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the sport. Despite its entertaining premise, the Showcase mode fails to reach the same heights as its predecessors, focusing on Rey Mysterio and John Cena, leaving players craving for more depth and replay value.
Moreover, the game's performance on PC leaves much to be desired, with frame rate limitations hindering the overall experience. While the visuals receive a slight upgrade, the choppy cutscene frame rates detract from the game's aesthetic appeal, especially during key moments like wrestler entrances. WWE 2K22's attempt to push boundaries in gameplay innovation is evident, but its missteps in storytelling and technical performance prevent it from achieving greatness, leaving fans with a mixed bag of excitement and disappointment.
