So, what do you wanna talk about?
I’ve enjoyed it a lot. I really dislike the road to elite though and I can’t see myself finishing that but that’s fine, I bought this for an arcadey wrestling sim and that’s what I got. I played with my family and we had a blast playing against each other. Exploding barb wire matches are so fun and I love how violent the hardcore matches are. The kids especially loved that the thumb tacks stick to the wrestlers.
I have faith they will improve things over the life of the game where they can, and if they don’t, I’m happy with what I have.
Also for any linux gamers it runs perfect on Linux/Steam Deck using Proton 8.0-2
What is Proton? Is it jut the standard Steam Deck or a custom build? Sorry for bothering but I was considering getting it during the Summer Sale mostly because I’d love to be able to play it on my Steam Deck too.
My girlfriend and I, are really enjoying playing co op together. The arcadey feel made it so easy and fun. There are some bugs and missing quality of life features but it definitely captures the old school arcade feeling that has missing in pro wrestling games.
Okay, how you know?
The best quote I saw in a review is that it’s terrible for people who like to create, fun enough for people who like to get to the gameplay, which is pretty much what I expected.
Personally, I’m the type who likes to create. I play wrestling games for the CAWs, creating shows, giving everyone cool entrances, etc. and barely spend any time actually in matches. So I knew early on this one wasn’t gonna be for me as I can get a better AEW experience for what I’m looking for within WWE 2K23.
It is a shame though to see that despite the core gameplay loop being fun, it is so barebones outside of that for the people who were looking forward to it.
Loving it so far!
I don’t think the CAW is as bad as some seem to claim. Certainly better than I expected.
Road to Elite is fun
