In some ways, this is a bit of a welcome addition. Since WWE 2K Battlegrounds is smaller in scale than previous WWE games, there are fewer options for your created character. When creating your own wrestler, you choose a fighting style that determines their moveset and skill tree. A lot of that comes down to the outfits you can give your wrestler. While the general art direction is more cartoonish making each character not look as generic, I never felt like I could create the wrestler I wanted. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case with WWE 2K Battlegrounds. I always felt like I could imagine something and create it.
The WWE 2K games have always some problems, but I consistently loved the creative suite. The different arenas do help with giving a bit of variety to each match, but after the third match in the same arena, it becomes the same monotonous gameplay.
For example, the swamp-themed arena lets you throw your opponent into a crocodile (which is rad) and the boot camp arena had a helicopter you can jump off of (which isn’t as rad as you’d think). Also, each arena has its own gimmick attack. From the traditional WWE locales like Raw and WrestleMania-themed rings, to more wild areas like a swamp and a garage in Detroit, there is some variety. WWE 2K Battlegrounds does attempt to mix things up with its different arenas. But as I played a few more hours, it felt like every match was the same with minor difficulty spikes here and there depending on who I decided to wrestle. The first few matches I had, I was actually quite impressed. The approachable gameplay and added abilities make for some engaging matches for a bit. I was able to simply pick up the game and play mostly without hesitation." "For the first time in years, I didn’t have to learn to wrestle with an intense control scheme.
