In many ways, the fact that likes of the Iconics (now at Impact), Keith Lee (AEW), Kyle O'Reilly (AEW), Isiah "Swerve" Scott (AEW), Jeff Hardy (AEW), and Karrion Kross (MLW) are still in the game allows for some dream cross-promotion matches. Yes, as with the likes of FIFA, Madden and 2K's own NBA title, this does offer easy routes to success through a real-world payment system, but we found it interesting and fun enough without dropping a dime. Win and you have the chance to earn new packs and, therefore, better stars to put in your team.
MyFaction is essentially the game's Ultimate Team, whereby you collect superstars, managers and items, put them together in teams and use them to progress through increasingly harder single or multiplayer match-ups. Perhaps most interestingly, though, there's a couple of new classic modes - MyFaction and MyGM - that provide different ways to enjoy the action.

There's also the usual Universe mode, which many have loved in the past.

There's a story mode again, MyRise, but this time it focuses on a more "realistic" rise to fame for a created wrestler, through the WWE Performance Center and onto at least one of the main TV brands - Raw, Smackdown, NXT. Now we just need Vince MacMahon to take note. Some elements are still a little underbaked, and extra finesse wouldn't go amiss, but this is a hugely positive reboot at a time when it could be facing its biggest challenge yet in the form of an AEW game on the horizon. Indeed, we'd argue that this is the most enjoyable WWE game in many years - in half a decade, at least. And thankfully this latest outing benefits greatly from breaking from the pressure of a yearly release cycle and Visual Concepts has more than made up for the Gobbledy Gooker it served up last time. WWE is going through a strange time in the real world - still recovering from almost two years without crowds and losing (or allowing) many of its most popular mid-carders to go to rivals - but it still has a strange allure even in its most troubled times.

It's not perfect and still delivers the occasional graphical anomaly or glitch, plus tag team wrestling is as cumbersome as ever, but it's a game WWE fans will really enjoy. WWE 2K22 isn't just an improvement, it is the best iteration we've had in many years, especially on the current-gen consoles. 2K Games thankfully acknowledged the mistake and gave the studio some time to go back to the drawing board - two years, in fact - to partly reinvent the game mechanics and reboot the franchise.
