Critic score: 8

Roboscore: 7

    Pros
  • Impressive visuals with realistic character designs and animations
  • Subtle but smart additions to well-tested systems and modes
  • New mechanics including Super Finisher and trading blows minigame add depth to gameplay
  • Cute new weapon options for fun and funny ways to do damage at range
  • Improved AI for managers and non-legal tag team partners
  • Special guest referee match adding potential for multiplayer chaos
    Cons
  • Nagging bugaboos persist, like Showcase mode suffers from the inability to recreate genuine moments in wrestling history in video game form
  • New trading blows minigame feels abrupt and doesn't significantly impact gameplay
  • Limited significant differences between 2K24 and last year's edition in terms of mechanics
  • Missed opportunities in recreating infamous moments from real life wrestling matches in game modes like casket match and Showcase mode
  • Uneven storytelling in MyRise with smaller feuds and matches that feel like filler episodes
