WWE 2K25 is so full of content that it is difficult to assimilate yourself. There are more than 300 characters, the largest amount in the history of WWE 2K, and all game modes are larger than before. In addition, a completely new game mode was added to the island. An idea that is very entertaining (Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan) is easy to ruin if you keep filling it with more things (the NWO had a total of 36 members). But is that something that the last title of the series suffers?
As Daniel Bryan once said: “No! No!” In fact, the game is full of sweets as a promo by CM Punk. With one important exception: the new island mode. For some reason, the developers have decided not to add it to the PC version, but it is there for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series. The island is taken directly from the NBA 2K series with its city. This means that an online center that seems to be shops like a shopping center everywhere. In short, Roman Reigns invites her to this island, which is history that it is a kind of competition in which the winner receives a contract with the WWE. Then you can run through this area and fight against other players. Follow the poor story or … buy things!
Your created character can improve your skills and buy new clothes to get a virtual currency. This can be won through games, but of course only a very small amount is given. It also seems to be a very degraded version of the Idem of the NBA. None of the conversations have language dialogues and there are only text in fixed images. There is also no card. So if I have to speak to someone for history, I have to run in this “open world”. However, the different parts of the map, such as the undertaker cemetery or the leisure hall of Neón de Asuka, are very well designed. The conclusion is that it is a completely unnecessary game mode that is great theft of money and extreme Pay-to-win.

Another thing that is usually associated with the payment for profit in sports games are the ultimate teamodi. And a few years ago, the WWE 2K version was added, which is called myfaction. In the first year I just shaken my head. There were no online fights and everything was oriented offline, although it was paid for card packages to make your team stronger. Every year they tried to add things to improve experience, and now it seems a way that could easily exist in other sports games. There are battles that are classified and not classified online, and there are many options offline. Although it still looks like money is necessary to have an online opportunity, you can play without expenses.
The game mode with which I always start is the shop window with which we can play games in history. In the past, among other things, we were able to play the races of Rey Mysterio and John Cena (where we could play like all of his opponents) and for 40 years of wrestlemania. This year we can concentrate on Roman Reigns and can play through the incredibly successful Samoa Islands in the wrestling. In addition to Reigns, there are the rocks, the purposes, the wild Samoaners, Nia Jax and the high chief Peter Maivia. It is really impressive how these families have dominated the wrestling. Every fight is presented wonderfully and told by Paul Heyman. Every fight is prepared with different challenges based on real fights, e.g. B. three strong beating, attacking someone out of the ring and much more. The good thing is that the commentators return during the fights and have achieved something that was not possible: that they are at a level that my ears do not bleed how bad they are. You have removed the negative side when playing the shooting of the royal games. In the past, the transition between the pictures of the game and the real one was perfect. For example, if you have thrown someone out of the ring as a challenge, the character began to fly over the strings to pass exactly at the same point to the real combat film. I don't know why this has been eliminated.

As a novelty this year there are time -controlled challenges, e.g. B. the use of a certain movement in a minute. If you want the fight and complete all the challenges, you can unlock characters, titles, scenarios and much more that you can use in other game modes. One of them is the sandbox of the universe mode. Some small improvements have been introduced, such as the possibility of celebrating their payment events through vision (or live premium events, as they call them now), in the style of Wrestlemania in real life. Another is that the advertising campaigns have returned and now possible to select different response options for the different branches of the advertising tree.
Nevertheless, the content is plentiful because I have mentioned two game modes: Migm and Misubida. The first was something that the players asked WWE Smackdown against RAW in 2008. He returned to WWE 2K22, but it was something disappointing for the small content he had. Three years later, they are on the right track. After all, there is the online cooperative option. You and three friends (or enemies) can play against each other to try to reserve the best shows. Reserve fights, try to make fighters happy and get more fans than others. This year is probably the one who has the most fun, even if it is only against computer -controlled opponents from the Smackdown and RAW series. Myrise, on the other hand, is the history of the game and this year the two different storylines were played as a woman or as a man and both genres, and their creates created are now part of the same story in which a mysterious band is trying to harm the company. It depends on them that the good ones win. Cm punk, which returned as a DLC last year, plays an important role and, as one of the best sponsors of the wrestling, is always a welcome addition.
But all these paths would forget if it is no fun to play fighting. So it is good that the fights themselves are fantastic. There is a lot of entertainment to offer in the ring. The new approach for huge characters, very large, is welcome. Andre of the giant Yokozuna, Nia Jax and the like, like the fight with an additional counterattack on the heel. Basically a sign. Many attacks do not work against them either and collide with a giant with a smaller person like colliding of a wall. They are not a huge opponent. This wall is decreased over time and can also be injured in the usual forms. It may seem a bit too powerful, but as a counterpart, among other things, these characters cannot do gymnastics things that throw themselves off the top of the corner. Together with some new types of fighting, such as the underground, in which the ring has no ropes, and the bloodline match in which it is against one, in which they can ask for help from three teammates, it looks as if it has made progress.
Perhaps the greatest improvement of everyone in this year's version is the opportunity to use a free camera when the fighters go down the ramp during their introduction. If you play a lot of fights with the same character, it can be a little repeated, but now you can turn the camera 360 degrees around the character or bring it closer and pull it away. This offers completely new angles that we usually don't see. Something that we usually don't see, especially in the current WWE, are intergenre fights, that is, fighting between men and women. However, this will be added in this year's version if you want to kick Dominik Mysterio as Rhea Ripley.
Unfortunately, the game is plagued by some small problems where I start to solve it. The title belts still float a few centimeters above the shoulder when the belt carries there, and they remain somewhat away from the waist if the belt is worn there on the other. Hair physics can be really ridiculous when it crosses clothes or body. And things like the strings of the ring or weapons can get stuck in the characters. They are things that the series had had as problems for many years. In general, however, the game looks very good, with better modeled characters than others, and the sound scenario is nothing to complain about.
2K really recovered from the fiasco that WWE 2K20 was. I hardly recovered five years later. It was so catastrophic that you didn't even publish a game the following year. Since returning with WWE 2K22, they have improved the series year after year and WWE 2K25 is probably the best game in the history of the series. The fights are as phenomenal as AJ styles and all game modes have received a kind of update. The completely unnecessary addition of the island, which is a worst copy of the city of NBA 2K, and this is more of a shopping center with a small wrestling than vice versa, unfortunately the general impression is on land.
