![]() Different combinations of shoulder and face buttons activate specific abilities and moves, and we frequently found ourselves having to consult the pause menu for controls assistance when confronted with some of the more precise match objectives. Don’t get us wrong, the controls are fine, they’re just unnecessarily clunky. If we were able to take part in the Big Spook Parade however, just how would we actually rassle? Well, the seeming obsession with iterating via complexity and raising the bar for entry has continued unabated. Despite being featured prominently on the main menu, the mode remained inaccessible for the first few days after launch, only coming online at the time of writing to reveal a spooky-themed selection of modes, all of which were locked behind a pay wall. But we digress.įurther pushing the envelope of female representation is the inclusion of mixed-gender tag team matches, and they may or may not also appear in 2K20’s much-touted WWE 2K Originals mode, but… we wouldn’t know. The guy is an icon of wrestling, and to see him realised as your frumpy aunt is an insult to his legacy. ![]() International mega star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson looks like your mate Dave cosplaying as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and don’t even get us started on Macho Man Randy Savage. It’s an indisputable fact that 2K20 has received a substantial graphical downgrade when compared to previous years, with incorrect skin tones, wide, unblinking eyes, and poorly motion captured entrances making up just the tip of the Goldberg – sorry. It’s just a shame that said outfits and performers are the worst they’ve looked in years. The gameplay itself veers violently into the dull side of simple however, with the real match being recreated and animated in-engine, and the player tasked with performing certain actions in specific locations in order to advance the mode, providing outfits, performers, and currency by way of a reward. ![]() It’s a neat if repetitive package, following significant matches and moments from the ladies’ careers intercut with floating head endorsements straight from the horses’ mouths. Showcase mode returns once more, this year shining the spotlight on The Four Horsewomen – a quartet of prominent female wrestlers given credit for kickstarting WWE’s Women’s Revolution. There are a vast array of exhibition match types where you can face off against AI and friends both off and online, the challenging 2K Towers returns from last year, and there’s always Universe mode if you want to micro-manage the day-to-day operations of WWE’s intimidating TV schedule. WWE 2K20 is a comedy horror title from Visual Concepts and its very existence is completely baffling on almost every conceivable level.īefore we dive into the “fun” stuff, it’s worth taking stock of what’s made it into the game this year, and if you’re familiar with the 2K run of WWE titles, you’ll find 2K20’s gameplay offerings consistent. This is a particularly brave choice, as you don’t truly get to play as your favourite WWE Superstars either, since performers in the conventional sense are occasionally substituted for a pair of incorporeal floating eyeballs with adjacent haircut. The game even chooses to take a particularly strong stance against tattoos on custom wrestlers, punishing the player’s blatant violation of Leviticus 19:28 by unceremoniously crashing their PlayStation 4. ![]() ![]() For a start, all traditional forms of locomotion have been removed, as you can instead summon the power of ghost magic to ominously float around, under, and otherwise through the ring. WWE has released a video game based on its flagship brand of sports entertainment every year for close to three decades now, so it may be surprising to some that this year’s entry has veered away from the franchise’s grappling roots in a variety of ways. ![]()
