First of all, I have to say that the game has effects such as reducing stress. Many of us have watched WWE Smackdown at least once in our lifetime. It is not possible for a generation to watch the television watch until the night for the show that starts at midnight here, not to like the basic logic of this game. The fact that it is far from realism both in terms of graphics and gameplay helps us to forget the troubles of the jar-bottomed world we are in.
When I examine WWE 2K Battlegrounds, I refer to the basic structure and mechanics of the game. Of course, there are also some mistakes in the game.
Pros
+ Comic book style storytelling well crafted
+ Gameplay is full and fighting dynamics are successful
+ Graphics create an atmosphere harmonious with the genre of the game
+ Character and environment creation systems are very detailed
Cons
- There are occasional performance drops
- Errors can occur in animation transitions
- The game progresses monotonously after a while
- Micro payments
WWE 2K Battlegrounds bears the signature of Saber Interactive, whose name you also heard from Crysis Remastered. It is very far from realism that has become a combat simulation, I can say that it is made for everyone who has a completely arcade head, who wants to get tired of the hardships of life and relax for a few hours. The first impression the game left on me was in this direction. Of course, this game, which we will examine in depth, has some faults as well.
I liked the story mode of the game. We get involved in the flow of events by reading the comic book pages. The basic logic is beat, move forward, get reward, beat, move forward. As you move forward with this rhythm, it tells you the story on the one hand, and the atmosphere of the game is carried to a different dimension at each breaking point of the story. For example, after a while you start the game, you say goodbye to your first character, go to Mexico and try to get your other character into the superstar league. Meanwhile, Steve Austin (also known as Stone Cold) is by your side while raising every rookie. The flow of the story actually prompts you to change characters every time to learn about the different types of wrestlers in the game. There are different classes in the game such as Brawler, High Flyer, All-Rounder, Technician, Powerhouse. For example, the Brawler class makes its difference when it comes to engaging in banging, High Flyer wrestlers are more athletic and a little more aesthetic wrestling. While the Technician wrestlers will oppose you more easily and put forward a more technical fight, Powerhouse is as strong as saying "I need two of you". If you want some of them all, there is the All-rounder class for you.
While I was learning the game, both in the story and in the practice modes, something caught my attention. There is a feeling of hitting officially in the game. I can say that I felt bumps in most places up to my bone marrow without even the shaking of the controller in my hand. I think this toughness in hitting is the strongest aspect of the game that causes stress reduction. The fact that the characters that look like small plastic toys hit each other as if shaking the ring and this can be felt makes the game successful in terms of gameplay. Also, another thing I really feel during the matches is that you continue to play against a really tired and crushed opponent when the health and stamina bars decrease after a little bit of battering your opponent. They felt this very well. It would be interesting to see an opponent who had beaten my life up from the ground as if nothing had happened and continue attacking me. In this sense, we can say that the game is successful.
Although the gameplay is successful, there are some animation errors. When the opponent grabs you and takes you over his shoulders, you will notice if you want to escape by pressing the right button and hit the middle of his mouth. During the animation transitions, our character can go into absurd situations, the opponent's shoulder suddenly goes under the ground - passing through - and then appears standing behind him and the animation continues, damaging the feeling of satiety that I just mentioned. I think they fix this with a recent update. In addition, there are occasional stutters and performance jumps in the game. You get a value between 10-15 FPS for just a few seconds without changing any sound, input lag value of the game and it passes. In the first place I thought, "Is the console too hot?" Even if questions like I checked it, it is not something that is experienced due to heating. WWE 2K Battlegrounds has some mistakes in this sense.
However, there are several different options for what you can do in the game, if you have finished the story mode or if it is not for you. You can join online tournaments or challenge others in King of the Battlegrounds mode. King of the Battlegrounds is actually a game mode that fighters know very well. A lobby is created, everyone starts to play matches one after another, a fixture is formed. Players get points per match they win, and the one with the most games and the most points in total wins. Of course, if you don't own a PlayStation Plus and offline modes are more of a concern to you, then it's okay, they are also available. In the "Exhibition" section, you can find all match types in the game. This is your practice area, you can learn the mods you do not know here, and you can get a healthier experience in story mode. In addition, there is a section where you can create your own character and your own map.
On the character creation screen, you can better see the types of wrestlers we just mentioned. The first question asked to you when creating your character is "What do you want to be". Here you choose the genre that will determine the characteristics of your wrestler. I mentioned it in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 review, yes! You can do Geralt. As you can customize many parts of your character, the variety of presets in these parts is also nice. Also, even if you choose the preset, you can make some eyebrow eye adjustments yourself. Afterwards, you can change your character's tattoos, clothes and the whole look. Among them is even how to get the match. Some of these customizations are locked to you, you can pay with both currencies in the game, and they are unlocked this way. It does not require external in-game payments from you.
You can create your own battlefield as you create your character. While doing this, you can customize many parts such as the ring, corner posts, fireworks that will explode when the wrestlers take the stage. What I liked most about this part was that we could change the music. You choose a music according to your taste and it plays in the encounter area you have created while you fight fiercely. Of course, this part is more expensive than character creation, you need to unlock it first for all customizations. Although it gives you basic customizations at first, those that always look cooler and more detailed are paid. As such, you have to at least finish the story mode and get rich by getting all the awards there.
After creating your character, the "Battlegrounds Challenge" game mode path appears for you. Let me tell you that an offline game mode. This place is just like in the story mode, beat, move forward, get reward, beat, move forward. Your main goal is to increase your character's strength and abilities. As with the WWE wrestlers already in the game, the character you create also has a power point. It starts at 60 in the first place. As you fight with opponents and collect your rewards in the Battlegrounds Challenge game mode, it gives you messages like "This skill has improved" and your character becomes stronger. As you progress, you encounter more challenging opponents. Some famous WWE wrestlers we see in the story appear in both areas. It is a special joy to struggle with famous names such as Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker, Big Show, who embellished the childhood of some of us and the youth of some of us.
As a result of my comment for the game
If you say "I want to buy WWE 2K Battleground but I have question marks in my head" you have come to the right part. I mentioned the basic structure and details of the game above, but I want to reserve this part for the decision. Weigh yourself first, do you like to go all the way to the end, no matter how monotonous a game starts to be? If you have such a structure, I recommend the game for you with peace of mind. Also, this game will entertain you if you like to juggle with your friends, siblings or anyone online at home. That's all I have to say, stay with all of you love and play, hope to see you again in a new game review.
It is one of the best games I like this kind of games
