With the presence of John Cena as host this year, WWE 2K23 promises the most exciting evenings
He struggle he is back! Those who love their different fighters and the constant fight for the championship belt will be able to recreate the techniques of their favorite warriors in great detail. On this occasion, it is still 2K is to blame for our entry into the ring and pound buttons in search of the ultimate show. And be a classic fan when it was called By pressing the latcha new competitor wanting to put on colored shorts or an attempt to manage the show businessin WWE 2K23, you’ll be able to do all of this and more. Warm up, you get in the ring!
As usual in the saga, this proposal is intended a title fan service of this curious TV show. Acrobatics, impossible moves and a good dose of theatricality will be the ingredients to make a dynamic and fun proposal. It is true that if we compare it with last year’s version, We find few additional improvements that surprise us, although, despite everything, there are news that must be highlighted. And the first of them then comes accompanied by a celebrity from this show…
Never give up!
The basis and fundamental pillar of this year’s performance are given by the role that John Cena will receive. I think a little introduction is needed, but if you don’t know him, he is surely one of the most recognized wrestlers on the WWE scene today. Through several legendary fights, we will bring his legacy to life thanks to the 2K Showcase mode.
As it happened a year ago with the Mystery King, we will relive different phases of John Cena with these confrontations that changed his life. To make it the closest thing to what you see on TV, the game will entrust us with certain actions in combat that will make us relive the scene in question. And that’s great, since the title will merge these real little blows with our fights, and it’s wonderful to witness these events.
Don’t try this at home
Do not think that having a thousand and one keys to finish the rival, the game will be complex. The company has managed to balance the arcade facet of the game very well without falling into simplicity. With just a strong attack, a weak attack, and the grab button, we can do a lot of frills. It is true that there will be more complex movements, but as soon as we play a few fights we will be able to defend ourselves perfectly in the ring.
Another thing is when we come across Showcase 2k mode precisely. In each fight, we will be asked for a series of very particular combos, touches and techniques and in specific places on the stage. And sometimes it’s hard to know what they are asking of us. This fact makes if you get stuck on a specific attack, the confrontation lasts longer than desired, with slow and tedious fights. This part still needs to be tweaked to strike a fair and fun balance, allowing John Cena fans to learn more about the fighter’s past without having to go through an ordeal of combat.
sad but true
If I extend to this modality it is because It is the only one that has undergone significant changes in this WWE 2K23. We still have the online way to tan our faces with other users. It is also MyGM, where we will put aside the blows for the checkbooks and the most lucrative facet of the show. In my faction, we’ll collect cards from WWE Superstars and Legends to form the perfect team. And in my ascent, we will create our ideal character until we take him on the path to glory. Like I said, nothing new under the sun if you’re coming from last year’s version. And if you rush me, it might be even worse this year for a variety of reasons.
There is an element that I did not like at all, it is the locking various WWE legends. I don’t recall seeing an unreachable fighter since early last year, and here are the most illustrious stars. Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, The Last Warrior, Dave Bautista… To be able to play with them, you will first need to “purchase” them with the game’s own currency. And honestly, I think there is no need to resort to such tricks.
fights of all colors
There are other added elements that bring a more varied touch to the kicks, touches and threats that we will experience in the ring. The fans demanded it and 2K granted it. It is WarGame, a variant within the show where we will fight in 3vs3 or 4vs4 fights, with the installation of two huge cages.
And saving the aforementioned initial roster blockade, the truth is that the matchups in WWE 2K23 are the most diverse. The suitors are numerous, some better known, others less so. They didn’t even neglect one iota female side, with an incredible roster of fighters, each with their own fighting style.
let the show begin
Visually, the title is still on a high level…depending on each battle. It should be noted that the study focused on the most famous fighters, leaving those who are not so recognized in the background. It is true that each of them has their particular way of moving, their entrance song, even their tones and facial expressions, but not all of them shine at the same level. Even the hair is not the same.
There is one thing that seems very curious to me and that breaks the scene in question. When we fight as John Cena in 2K Showcase and a real video of the event comes in, the two referees, the people in the audience (I’m guessing they’ll be kids) and the shirt marks and logos they appear blurry. I don’t know… it’s a bit shocking to see these blurs in the middle of a sequence of such depth.
Although WWE 2K23 does not have a Spanish dub, I must say that He has many original voices which are dedicated to this TV program. It is worth mentioning the good job that John Cena himself does as a narrator, as well as other fighters who get involved in the game. By the way, ten points for the soundtrack of the game, with songs from famous artists like Metallica, Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Bizarrap.
Conclusion of WWE 2K23
Lovers of this TV show are in luck thanks to the new work developed by 2K. The title based on struggle brings together fighters past and present, retaining the essence, personality, and combos we’ve seen on TV. Additionally, the game places special emphasis on the career of John Cena, one of the most important current celebrities on this show.
The only (and equally important) downside we see is the non-existent innovation compared to last year’s delivery. Same modes, same fighters…and even some legends locked for you to play until you “purchase” them with your own in-game money. can be a good entry point. But if you already have last year’s version… I recommend waiting for the price to drop.
