WWE 2K20 is, when it works properly, a pretty fun game, but that’s anyone’s guess; the game undoubtedly suffers from a lot of bugs, and you might be lucky enough to encounter them later in the game, but for us, they were there from the start. Bugs aside, you can tell there’s something different about this year’s WWE 2K20 right from the start, and not just from the cover, which features Becky Lynch, or the fact that WWE Showcase features NXT’s Four Horsewomen and their rise to fame.

It’s clear that the developers wanted to do something different. You get the MyCareer story with male and female protagonists who have their own struggles, but mostly stick together and travel the country in hopes of one day making it in WWE.

What the developers missed here, in my opinion, was a huge opportunity; instead of the mundane option of triggering a few cutscenes during a match, we could have delivered a robust storyline that showed the journey of a hopeful wrestler to a WWE Hall of Famer. Instead, we get to see two people swap outfits, and that’s about as much of a character change as you get.

The story in MyCareer mode isn’t top notch, but like WWE, it still manages to keep you interested enough to make it to the end. There’s a clear beginning, middle, and end, but not necessarily in that order. That’s one of the best things about the game.
