Game description

WWE 2K17 – fighting game, wrestling simulator with 3D side view.

For a long time, Yuke’s has been creating games under the WWE license and the authors constantly talk about changes in the game but, as often happens, it all comes down to changing a few local parameters. This is what happened this time as well. WWE 2K17 added only a couple of new legendary fighters.

The new version of the game is oversaturated with various indicators and QTE-elements. There is an injury sensor that makes it possible to observe how attacking some parts of the body of a contender are more and more exposed to painful receptions.

The game has a problem of imbalance because the dynamics of the fight is very slow and stretched. The whole point is to beat the opponent using the usual techniques, dial the scale of the indicator “momentum” and then hold the decisive blow. To win, you need to keep the opponent on the blades for only 3 seconds.

The developers of this version provided each character with individual skills and techniques that clearly appeal to WWE fans. These skills and techniques can be viewed and performed during the game. However, this does not negate the fact that the game delivered is not far off from its concept. The game is not much different from WWE 2K16, and the animation is repeated from one of the first years and does not give the players the opportunity to immerse themselves in what is happening and feel every fight.

This is probably due to the fact that the developers do not have competitors, so they essentially provide unique content for the fans of the genre. The game obviously does not get to the “TOP” level, in comparison with the same MMA. Because it is based on wrestling, an explosive sports show about athletes and acrobats, where everything is built on dynamics and action, the game is clearly not enough. Let’s hope the game developers will make the necessary changes that in the next version.
