This week, we’re diving headfirst into the ring with WWE 2K25. After the disaster that was 2K20 and the steady climb back with the last few games, the big question is: Did 2K25 finally nail it? Or is it another mid-carder hanging out in catering?
We’re breaking down everything—from gameplay tweaks that actually matter (better striking, smoother grapples, and finally a reversal system that makes sense), to new features like Super Finishers and Paybacks that shake up how matches feel.
We’ll also talk game modes (MyRISE, MyGM, Universe, Creation Suite), graphics, sound, bugs (don’t worry, it’s not 2K20-level broken), and yeah… microtransactions. Are they tolerable or still annoying?
Whether you're a longtime fan or just curious about this year's entry, I’ve got thoughts. Lots of them.
