WWE 2K20 Review: 3 Ups & 9 Downs

2. All The Missing Content

It's not uncommon for these games to feel like nothing more than incremental revisions of what came before, but 2K20 actively feels like a lesser game in many ways by being bereft of so much content.

Where to begin? So many of the fun match types people love to play in these games - I Quit, Special Referee, Buried Alive etc - are absent, while a number of NXT and NXT UK wrestlers are curiously nowhere to be seen (worst of all, Walter), and they didn't even have the decency to include Kane '98.

Further still, players will be continually taunted by the presence of 2K Originals in the game's menus, a series of paid, themed DLC content packs which will be released over the coming year.

Though the imminently due first pack, Bump in the Night, is available free for those who pre-ordered, it really feels like these packs should've been included as part of the core package. Rather than, you know, trying to nickel-and-dime players who are already shelling out for a broken product.
