From PSU: "Though it's hardly a tall hurdle to clear, WWE 2K22 is the best WWE 2K game since they started appending '2K' to the title. Much more than that though, it's the best wrestling game to come along in a long, long time and one which almost completely banishes everything that has been historically wrong with the franchise, while also managing to strike out in a bold direction for the series' future. Here's hoping that the likely return to the annual release schedule doesn't result in a lapse to bad habits and lazy innovation because, well, we've been there for the last ten years or so - and it isn't fun."
VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "By looking at a list of fighting games this year, you may notice the lack of certain key franchises like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, or Smash Bros. Instead, the void was filled by relatively smaller fighting titles and several key newcomers. Despite this, however, fighter fans were still kept busy, particularly by the finalists.
DNF Duel from Arc System Works successfully reinvented the classic Dungeon Fighter series as a fighter by adopting simple-to-learn mechanics without sacrificing depth. Player First Games took the fighting world by storm with MultiVersus, allowing players to finally decide whether LeBron James can take on Superman, or Tom and Jerry can defeat Arya Stark. SNK also released The King of Fighters XV, building upon its storied franchise in both new and familiar ways. Finally, WWE 2K22 saw the series return to form after its disastrous predecessor."
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is currently hosting a new game sale that slashes up to 75% off on several action-adventure, racing, RPG, and simulation games across multiple gaming platforms."
Neil writes: "We've seen a host of new downloadable content drops arrive for WWE 2K22 over the last couple of months, but we think that the Clowning Around addition is the best yet."
