Our take

At $69.99, WWE 2K25 feels like a gamble. The Bloodline Edition comes packed with extras, but if you’re not a die-hard wrestling fan or into the MyFACTION mode, it might not be worth your cash right off the bat.

WWE 2K25 is ambitious, trying to integrate deep management mechanics with traditional wrestling action. The MyFACTION mode offers a fresh take, allowing you to collect and build your own wrestling teams, but it often pushes players towards microtransactions. Presentation is slick, with impressive character models and vibrant arena designs, particularly on Switch 2 where load times are manageable. However, the game doesn't escape the series' bug-riddled past; some animations still suffer from awkward clipping. Gameplay feels responsive, yet the learning curve remains steep for newcomers. While it competes well against previous titles in the series, these issues hold it back from being the definitive wrestling game on the platform.

Pros

  • Rich customization options in MyFACTION, allowing for deep roster management and team-building.
  • Enhanced graphics on Switch 2, making character models and arenas pop without significant frame drops.
  • Multiple gameplay modes including MyCAREER and online matches, ensuring varied play styles.

Cons

  • Microtransactions can feel invasive, especially if you want to unlock all MyFACTION content quickly.
  • Still buggy in places; clipping issues with animations and occasional crashes are frustrating.
  • Lack of offline modes limits playability for those without a solid internet connection.

Expect a mix of classic wrestling mechanics and new features. You’ll create your own wrestlers, build factions, and participate in iconic matches. MyFACTION provides a card-collecting twist, while MyCAREER lets you forge your path in the WWE universe. The controls are smooth, but some moves still require precise inputs, which can be challenging in the heat of the moment.

On Switch 2

On Switch 2, WWE 2K25 runs surprisingly well, maintaining solid frame rates even in chaotic multi-wrestler matches. Handheld mode is enjoyable for quick sessions, though docked play offers a more visually appealing experience with sharper graphics. Controls are responsive overall, but the occasional performance hiccup can disrupt the flow.

Who it's for

This game is for dedicated wrestling fans looking for the latest roster updates and features, especially those interested in card-collecting mechanics. Casual players or those wanting a simple wrestling experience should probably wait for patches and price drops.
