WWE 2K18
WWE 2K18, développé par Visual Concepts et Yuke's et publié par 2K Sports, est sorti mondialement le 17 octobre 2017 sur Windows, PlayStation 4 et Xbox One, avant une version Nintendo Switch lancée le 6 décembre suivant. Dix-neuvième opus de la série WWE, il s'agit du premier titre exclusivement destiné aux consoles de huitième génération et du premier distribué simultanément sur PC et consoles. Le jeu, propulsé par l'Eco-Motion Engine, met en vedette Seth Rollins en couverture sous le slogan « Be Like No One » et revendique le plus grand roster de l'histoire de la franchise, incluant des contenus exclusifs comme deux versions jouables de Kurt Angle ou de John Cena dans son édition Deluxe. Les modes proposés couvrent notamment Ma CARRIÈRE, En route pour la gloire et une suite de création étendue, avec un temps de histoire principale estimé à 24 heures et 138 heures pour une complétion intégrale. La presse a salué certaines améliorations par rapport à l'opus précédent, Hobby Consolas notant que les développeurs ont entendu les critiques et que le mode Ma CARRIÈRE est riche en possibilités, tandis que Vandal y voit l'une des meilleures entrées récentes malgré des progrès restant à faire techniquement. À l'inverse, certains joueurs sur Metacritic déplorent un jeu terne ou un manque de rejouabilité, et un avis Steam négatif évoque une déception après WWE 2K17, alors que d'autres joueurs Steam positifs soulignent les gains graphiques et l'élargissement du roster. Le score Metacritic s'établit à 64 et les serveurs multijoueurs ont été fermés le 30 juin 2022.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« 2K Games and Yuke's have heard the critics and learned from them. WWE 2K18 improves throughout on its predecessor. My Career mode is full of possibilities and Road to Glory provides endless fun. In addition, WWE 2K18 has some new mechanics that bring variety to the fights and it has the largest roster in the entire series. »
« This is one of the best entries in the series in the last few years, although there's still a lot of room for improvement, particularly on the tech side. It is, in any case, a good game and a solid base to build upon. »
« WWE 2K18 brings a lot to the digital squared circle, giving the wrestling fan in me a lot to like. New mechanics and match formats offer different ways to take on opponents, the new graphics and audio enhancements bring a hint of realism, and there are more wrestlers from yesterday and today to play then I really know what to do with. »
« Despite some light areas of concern with gameplay and some of the auxiliary modes and features, the core of the WWE 2K franchise has been strengthened. It won't scratch every itch that virtual wrestling fans have, but the game is deep and fun. At the end of the day, that's what we're looking for in video games. »
« WWE 2K18 is the necessary step forward for the franchise after presenting a renewed visual aspect and a product much more updated according to the show that represents. »
« WWE 2K18 is a great wrestling game with a crazy amount of depth that feels a bit too similar to 2K17 to really hit new highs. If you love the franchise, however, this will rock your world. »
« Featuring an enormous roster of over 200 characters with revamped gameplay, WWE 2K18 is a solid upgrade from last year’s game. »
« WWE 2k18 is a solid wrestling games, with some changes and step forward in some modes. However, needs new entries in terms of gameplay and improves its engine. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This is such a dry game with nothing interesting going for it. I've had the (mis)fortune of playing WWE 2k18 on different consoles. If you thought the PS4 release was medicore with no reason to come back to, wait until you see the Switch version. »
« My first WWE game on PS4 and it was fun but lacked replay ability since 19 came out and it doesn’t have a good career mode either after NXT Section. Esp on Switch it’s weaker but I made Von Erich brothers to enjoy myself on it. »
« I love feeling you in game haptic feedback control and graphic amazing and I recommend pick one up in store »
« Except for the new updated graphics and hair mechanics, it's pretty bad. Loading is slow and its just nothing good. I'm writing this in the future time so this is after every patch. It's just a forgettable game and there are just better entries to play »
« The wwe2k18 gameplay it fine to me but the career mode they can do more thing we can use the wwe superstars us what we want it they can create your own character not alot of choice I really hope they can change this for the career mode then I be ok too bad I play they is not undertaker inside the career mode I want it can make it not everyone no how to play this the system are good but it will be harder to go for it »
« Worst wwe game I’ve ever played. It’s literally garbage, the models are garbage, the gameplay is garbage. The submissions and Pinfalls are garbage. This game is garbage. If you want a good wwe game go to svr because the newer ones ****. »
« For me it was the first WWE 2K game and it really didn't bring the joy I had with the SmackDown vs Raw games. I also had some minor inconviniences with some bugs. It can be fun to play with friends, but I got bored of it quite fast. Carreer mode was horrible. It had the same thing happening over and over, not to mention that I was frustrated with it as it become too hard if you wanted to play as a face. »
« The creative suite and universe mode is where the money was for me. Nothing else in the game mattered much »
