As an annualized series, WWE 2K does a good job of iterating and improving upon itself year after year, at least since the debacle with WWE 2K20. That title received overwhelmingly negative reviews, launching in a broken state with numerous physical, graphics, and targeting bugs, to say the least. Ironically, it also featured Roman Reigns on the cover just like WWE 2K25 does. Unlike WWE 2K20, however, WWE 2K25 has quickly proven itself to be a game worthy of The Tribal Chief and his Bloodline—even after a little time with the game.
