Review

WWE 2K25 shows promise with a visually stunning overhaul that mesmerizes fans of the franchise, providing a richer, more immersive experience in terms of graphics and character fidelity. The roster is a highlight, featuring a wealth of iconic wrestlers that appeal to both nostalgic fans and new players alike. Gamers will appreciate the refined gameplay mechanics, which allow for smoother and more intuitive match experiences. However, the title falls short in several areas. While the visual presentation is commendable, the game modes lack the necessary depth and variety to keep players engaged for the long haul. Many reviewers have pointed out that the AI tends to behave predictably, detracting from the overall challenge that the game tries to present. Additionally, a variety of bugs and crashes have marred the experience, emphasizing the need for more polish before the game was released. These shortcomings prevent it from reaching a higher tier in the series and leave some fans hoping for a more robust follow-up in the next title.
