MyGM revisits the beloved game mode of Smackdown vs. GM modes have been highly sought after for years, and they return in WWE 2K22 with MyGM. MyGM struggles against fierce competition Showcase Mode can be beaten in just a few hours so it never becomes a slog, but MyRise still stands as the clear centerpiece of the WWE2K22 single-player experience. None of it feels authentic and no new light is shed on his career. This could have been salvaged with candid discussions from Mysterio, but his contributions are exhaustively scripted and in-character.

There’s also a DLC skin of Mysterio’s outfit from Starrcade 1996 where he wrestled Jushin “Thunder” Liger, but the actual match isn’t included in Showcase Mode either. 2K22 doesn’t even have Mysterio’s first WWE championship win over Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 2006. Hardcore Mysterio fans will be disappointed by the fact that Showcase Mode isn’t comprehensive, missing many key matches from Rey Mysterio’s career.įor the sake of comparison, WWE 2K16’s Steve Austin showcase digs deep enough to highlight his lone ECW match against hardcore legend Mikey Whipwreck. Those who aren’t fans of Mysterio won’t care much for the gameplay as it isn’t much different from a regular match. This has been a solid formula in the past but it largely falls flat here. Between the matches is documentary-style footage of Rey Mysterio discussing each match and its significance. This is done through in-game objectives that pop up to steer players towards emulating the original match. Players are put into in-game matches that are meant to accurately retrace notable real-life matches. The gameplay of Showcase Mode in WWE 2K22 is the same as ever. As is often the case with WWE-produced historical content, it’s not particularly true to life.
2K Showcase focuses on Rey Mysterio’s WWE career, sort ofĪlongside MyRise, WWE 2K22 boasts a new Showcase Mode centered around the WCW and WWE career of Rey Mysterio.
MyRise still isn’t bad and it’s compelling enough to be the proper single-player experience of WWE 2K22.
