WWE 2K22 is one of the better wrestling games I have played in a long long time. The controls are fluid and straightforward enough that they become second nature after a couple of matches.
I also feel the counter system has been improved over previous years releases. Reaction time to counter depends largely on the speed & skill of both your wrestler and your opponents. Opponents with quicker snap moves and agility require a faster counter reaction than say a large powerhouse wrestler whose moves are slower to perform.
There are some clipping issues with certain moves like running attacks, but they don’t ruin the experience. The hits have impact and some of the higher risk moves are a blast to pull off.
The roster of superstars this year is huge! Even without DLC, and then there are custom creations which allow you
To expand your roster, title belts, matches and arenas.
Wrestling games controls and moves are usually a lesson in frustration for myself, this time around, everything feels more streamlined and responsive and it’s just tons of fun. If you like anything about wrestling, you should definitely check this one out.
