Gave it a four out of five.

WWE 2K26 offers another net gain over its predecessor, ensuring the series continues to evolve in a positive direction.

While its new reversal system will initially divide players and the specter of microtransactions continues to loom over MyFaction, the overall package introduces more quality of life features to ensure each of its numerous modes is better than it was last time.

Ben Wilson at GamesRadar gave it a 3.5 out of 5, saying, WWE 2K26 is a brilliant wrestling game where it counts, but I recommend waiting a couple of months to purchase to see how my faction and ringside pass rewards play out in the medium term.

For now, action in the ring is solid and some of the best in the series, but it can sting when rewards feel so miserly and centered on monetization over skill.

and then Jason Finelli at restart.run gives it a 4 out of 5.

WWE 2K26 will scratch that video game wrestling itch with a WrestleMania-sized offering of matches, modes, and wrestlers to choose from.

Changes to the way things are unlocked are disappointing, turning the game into more of a grind than it should be.

But...

the different formats that you'll play in order to unlock those items rise above the grind.

The island continues to impress while the, my GM and universe modes allow you to get deep into the nitty gritty of show planning in a way other wrestling games have yet to manage.

WWE two K 26 is another championship caliber entry in the franchise, but it still has a ways to go to become a hall of famer.

Snow, Michael, Michael,

We, of course, got codes for WWE.

Yep.

And it was, of course, too competitive of a goddamn time for us to even turn it on.

We had sent Roger to play WWE, of course, at the preview event where he got to interview some wrestlers and stuff.

But today, I'm sick.

Can't even come in and tell us about it.

Where are you this year with 2K26?
