The campaign mode – MyRise – features two separate stories this time, one for male wrestlers, the other for females. Still, it’s a great mode to whip through as you don’t have to play each match (although you can), you can just simulate them to speed through the weeks. It really comes down to who you choose for your roster, how you book the matches, and whether you can control your budget. There are more GMs to choose to play as this time, including Xavier Woods, Tyler Breeze and Eric Bishoff, plus the ability to take over WCW, while others control Raw, Smackdown and/or NXT.Įach brand and GM has their own bonuses that you start the game with, but they end up very similar. It puts you in the shoes of the general manager of a brand of your choosing and pits you against rivals who work towards getting their own shows to the top of the pile. That’s because the latest MyGM mode builds on last year’s reintroduction massively. There are a few surprises to unlock too, and you can create your own for good measure. The healthy selection includes the staples – Raw, Smackdown, NXT (old school and new), etc – but there’s also a whole tonne of WCW pay-per-view arenas to go alongside WWE’s. The arenas too seem better defined and there’s certainly a lot of them. There are some notable exceptions and dodgy hair movement is back – we’re looking at you Cameron Grimes – but this is a more visually accomplished game all-round. That includes animation, which is much smoother than even last year’s impressive effort, and better definition in muscle groups and faces than before (on the PS5 version tested, anyway). The character models seem to have been upgraded significantly. At least the stars (mainly) look more like their real-world equivalents this time around. Plus, with the amount of content available to the several game modes, we can excuse any minor caveats. And, at least Sami Zayn now sports his latest, post-Bloodline T-shirt. However, considering the lead-in time and amount of work put in, that can’t be helped.
