WWE 2k23 Review Embargo: Even though WWE 2K23 debuts on March 11, the review embargo was released today. However before making a final judgement, we need to spend a lot more time in the ring because we didn’t get codes until yesterday (Sunday). In the meantime, here are some initial thoughts.
I’ve only started the Showcase mode and played a few singles matches thus far. I will admit that 2K23 is a visually appealing game even though. I haven’t seen every wrestler or entrance.
It can be difficult for a wrestling aficionado to overlook minor details that generally wouldn’t affect a casual spectator or participant (Finn Bálor’s finger-pointing during his entrance seems a bit robotic), and while hair has improved. It still isn’t perfect. The in-ring motions nevertheless seem natural and fluid.

The enhanced entrance cinematography significantly helps to sell the idea that I’m acting in a TV broadcast. The lighting looks particularly fantastic as well. Shining brightest during the historical matches in the Showcase modes. Which mimic the atmosphere of occasions from the 1990s and 2000s.

Any player, regardless of skill level. The choice to play through a clever and entertaining tutorial on the game’s redesigned combat when the programme first starts up. It doesn’t take long and does a good job of dissecting 2K23’s more approachable gameplay. Which feels like a compromise between the accurate modelling of more recent 2K games. The arcade-style action of the old Smackdown series.
I’m loving the gameplay in 2K23 more than I did in past 2K games in the short time I’ve had it. I’d need to hand the controller to a complete novice to test this notion. But the simplified controls seem to be more pick-up-and-play friendly. Combining several melee combos speeds up the action. I’ve found it to be easier to recall where moves are mapp.
The button-mashing contests of the 2000s-era Smackdown championships see the return of pins and submissions, which reintroduces a fun intensity I’ve always favoured over the “stop the metre” mini-games of the contemporary WWE titles. Despite this, the action is still heavily animated and contains several lengthy stretches that can make it difficult to identify reversal windows, but on-screen cues can offer some assistance.
2k23 Review Embargo:
Triangle/Y serves as the default reversal button, however grapple moves may only be reversed by pressing the button you anticipate your opponent will use with a new counter called Breaker. You have a 50% chance of getting it right, if you timing it appropriately, since this comes down to either a light or hard grapple.
On this system, I’m conflict. I’ve found the guessing game element to be a little tedious, despite the fact that it does avoid matches from turning into non-stop countering. Because it’s impossible to predict your opponent’s actions, I never deliberated over which button to push and always went with heavy grapple. Even while the chances remain the same, at least I might refrain from making a stronger approach.
This year’s Showcase features Rey Mysterio as the cover hero and gives gamers access to what is effectively an interactive WWE Network special. I’m just about 25% of the way through, and thus far, I’m not impress. Although it would be impossible to expect Showcase to cover every significant turning point in his career, it is much less thorough than earlier editions of the mode and does not adequately represent his career.
