WWE 2K Battlegrounds. Most disappointing video games of 2020

Release Date: September 2020
Genre: wrestling
Platforms: PC, PS4, XOne, Switch

After the extremely unsuccessful WWE 2K20, the publisher decided to discontinue the annual release cycle and revamp the formula. In the absence of WWE 2K21 in 2020, wrestling fans were supposed to get a much lighter Battlegrounds spin-off, opting for a cartoonish setting and very relative realism. The change in convention has not been accompanied, unfortunately, by greater improvements in quality.

While the basic mechanics of WWE 2K Battlegrounds turned out OK, the game was killed by hiding much of the content behind a hard wall of micropayments and repetitive grind. The high price was also completely incompatible with the obvious budget constraints of the game, evident at every step, whether in the visual layer or the repertoire of game modes. On Switch, an additional problem proved to be that progress was only recorded online, which butchered the idea of mobile play away from home.

He first worked as a co-worker at GRYOnline.pl. In 2023 he became the head of the Paid Products department. He has been creating articles about games for over twenty years. He started with amateur websites, which he coded himself in HTML, then he moved on to increasingly larger portals. A computer engineer, but he was always more drawn to writing than programming, and he decided to tie his future with the former. In games, he primarily looks for stories, emotions, and immersion that no other medium can provide - hence, among his favorite titles, are games focusing on narration. Believes that NieR: Automata is the best game ever made.
