WWE 2K20 has good ideas as a whole and can amuse the most ardent fans of the saga, but its technical problems and its control do not finish working as previous releases.

Quotation forthcoming.

A sorry mess at the time of launch, but worth persisting with if you’re a series fan. [Issue#184, p.73]

WWE 2K20 is a buggy mess, but its gameplay also feels notably worse than previous years.

WWE 2K20 lacks anything new,with a poor story mode and bad animations, and the wrestling is plagued with technical issues that ruin any kind of enjoyment you may have.

The core product still has a good deal to offer. Unfortunately a bevy of technical and gameplay issues give the impression that Visual Concepts needed more time with this title. I imagine that 2K20 will continue to receive patches and support that make it better, but in its current state it is impossible to recommend this over last year's version of the game.

There is no reason to pick this game up when far better WWE 2K games are out there, and we don't recommend it to anyone, even someone that lives and breathes WWE.
