I have my issues with WWE 2K26 that you can read all about in my review, but when I don’t have to engage with the content that bugs me the most, it’s still a fun time. With the Road to Wrestlemania in full swing, ’tis the season to throw down in 2K’s annual wrestling sim. And if you hate the game’s sim-style gameplay, I highly recommend going into the menus and turning off all of the mini-games, stamina, and weight detection to make it closer to an arcade experience.
Now that the review period is over, I’ll continue unlocking Ringside Pass content and will dive deeper into one of my favorite activities: creating custom wrestlers and alternate superstar attire. I’ve already made snazzy alternate attires for my favorite tag team, the Motor City Machine Guns, based on their 2009 and 2021 looks, and I’m thinking of making some more CM Punk attire designs despite having a boatload of them already. For non-wrestling fans, this is how we like to play dress-up without the physical dolls. I’ll probably also continue booking shows in MyGM while knocking out a few podcasts.
