That said, for all its shortcomings, it is a fun little multiplayer combat game that's best enjoyed with friends, which is what it set out to be. Just don't expect The Stick of Truth 2.
WWE 2K24 has seen improvements across all its games modes, from My GM to Showcase to MyFACTION and more.
I don't dare to describe the events that set off these emotional detonations in my heart and mind—not before the game's even released, anyway. David Gaider has already earned my top spot among video game writers for his work on the first three Dragon Age games, and I daresay he's outdone himself. All I can do is tell you that Stray Gods is a revolutionary visual novel without peer, and even if you're not really into that genre, musical theater, or the Greek pantheon, I couldn't recommend it more.
WWE 2K23 takes everything WWE 2K22 did right, tweaks it in the best way possible, and adds even more content to keep it fresh.
All complaining aside, what ultimately makes a game great is whether it's fun, and I have to admit that, despite my frustrations, I'm not ready to give up. No matter how disappointed I am with the game and myself after each "Crushing Defeat," I find myself wanting to go back and play again, even if it's just to build up relationships with Liu Bei and Sun Jian, unlock their armor sets and weapons, grind for levels and new spells and, maybe some day, finally get to use that wizard's house key. It doesn't excuse the faults, and I will die (quickly and repeatedly) on the hill that it would be vastly improved by adding difficulty settings, but if you're a fan of the Three Kingdoms and (not or) extreme difficulty, Wo Long may be a good fit for you. And if it's not, Hell, there's always Dynasty Warriors.
