Wwe 2K23 Vs. Aew Fight Forever

It's nice to have a variety of wrestling games to choose from. One side of the ring we got WWE2K, a grizzled vet in the gaming industry that's existed for over 20 years now. On the other side of the ring we have the young and up coming AEW Fight Forever, representing a wrestling league that's existed less than five years in total.

First off, let's appreciate the spirit of the competition. Having two developers promotes a level of competition that allows for better quality games for the consumer. Additionally, it gives more people the opportunity to work on such high profile games.

One may think that because the WWE2K series has more realistic gameplay you'd think that would top it over AEW Fight Forever. Others may disagree, stating that the arcade-style gameplay of AEW gives it more charm. Regardless, both games are fun to play, especially with friends.

Why Pick WWE2K23?

As the long standing series continues, WWE2K23 brings the most polished wrestling game out there on the market. While Visual Concepts is better known for their NBA 2K games, their wrestling titles have won the hearts of fans all over the nation. WWE2K23 stands out the most in terms of its customization. We've seen some pretty creative wrestlers, and what's awesome is that you can share their designs online. The game also always receives constant updates and DLC.

The gameplay of WWE 2K23 feels a bit more crisp. Sometimes attacks don't land for some reason in AEW Fight Forever. While this kind of issue occurs in both games, WWE 2K23 has better hit-detection. Additionally, WWE 2K23 has an extensive roster that heavily outsized AEW Fight Forever. Here are the pros of choosing WWE 2K23:

  • Better Customization
  • Gameplay feels more fine-tuned
  • Better Graphics
  • Physics feel more accurate
  • Deep Roster
  • Arenas look better
