WWE 2K23 Critical Reception
According to Dale Driver's preview on IGN, WWE 2K23 maintains the impressive grappling gameplay established by its predecessor, WWE 2K22, which he considers to be the series' peak. While noting some minor enhancements, he observed that the game largely feels similar to the previous installment. Metacritic, an online review aggregator, reports that WWE 2K23 has received "generally favorable reviews."
While WWE 2K23 is mostly an incremental addition rather than a groundbreaking one, it is still satisfactory, considering the major overhaul the series received last year still had room for improvement. This year, much of the enhancement has been made in the game modes rather than the gameplay, but that doesn't mean there have been no improvements in terms of gameplay. However, there have been some areas where the game has deteriorated significantly compared to last year.
