While it’s wonderful that such an important event in women’s wrestling is getting this spotlight, WWE 2K20 still hasn’t fixed the underlying issue from last year’s Showcase: individual matches take far too long, and there are no mid-match checkpoints. There’s a new Showcase mode that takes you through the story of WWE’s Women’s Revolution by letting you relive key matches in the careers of the Four Horsewomen: Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Sasha Banks, and Bayley. Outside of M圜areer, very few things have changed – and of those that have, even fewer are for the better. Each skill tree is laid out differently depending on the wrestling style you choose at the start of the mode, so high fliers will unlock hexes that improve their aerial related skills much earlier, while a strong style specialist will unlock hexes that improve their strikes, which is at least a nice way to differentiate the skill and attribute distribution of the different wrestling styles.īut it all feels unsatisfying because, just like last year, the stat increases each skill unlocks are so specific and so minor that the difference is almost imperceptible unless you bank a bunch of points and go on a big spending spree, which there is no beneficial reason to ever do. Annoyingly, you can’t see what’s coming up until you unlock an adjacent hex, making it hard to plan a build for your character in advance and work toward the attributes you want. You start off your career extremely weak, but as you win matches you’ll earn points to spend on a gigantic skill tree. The way you get skills and attributes isn’t much better. It’s so obnoxious that I honestly gave up on customization entirely at a certain point and just stuck with what I had for the remainder of the campaign. That’s almost half of what you’re given in the M圜areer Kickstart, which is a pre-order bonus! Remember too that you now have two characters to customize. As an example, a purely cosmetic jacket that I got for one of my characters’ entrances cost 12,000 VC.
You can also use VC to buy individual items à la carte, but they’re unreasonably expensive considering how many moves and items of clothing you can customize. Thankfully you can only buy them with Virtual Currency and not real money, so WWE 2K20 at least sidesteps the firestorm that’s engulfed NBA 2K20. There are still loot boxes that frustratingly restrict the gear and moves you can equip on your created characters, primarily to whatever you randomly pull. The same character-progression issues that hamstrung last year’s M圜areer are present as well. These are too few and far between to lift the campaign out of its rut, though.
WWE 2K20 MOBILE SERIES
Samoa Joe in particular turns in an incredibly entertaining performance that’s on par with some of his best work on WWE TV, and the few instances in which the writers are able to indulge in a little bit of fantasy also results in some of the most creative and fun moments the series has seen. That’s not to say that it’s completely devoid of high points.
