    I have been playing WWE games on consoles of various generations for the last 20 years.<\/p>\n

    And my long-time favourite has always been WWF Attitude, which came out on the original PlayStation in 1999.<\/p>\n

    However, and this is no exaggeration, WWE 2K23 is the closest the sports entertainment giant has come in that time to becoming the new king.<\/p>\n

    I can sum up 2K and WWE's latest instalment of the long-running franchise in three words \u2013 sharper, crisper, cleaner.<\/p>\n

    From the moment you start the game, which I was playing on an Xbox One X, you can tell that the 2K team have put in more work than ever before, from stunning character models to tightened gameplay.<\/p>\n

    Even the start menu is a thing of beauty, as you're already immersed in a sort-of classic WWE entrance way tron screen, with snippets from superstars entrance videos played in the background.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    And when you start trying to become the Next Big Thing \u2013 remember that phrase when you're playing My Rise \u2013 you realise that this game is not like previous iterations of the franchise.<\/p>\n

    My first tip is that you must NOT skip the tutorial.<\/p>\n

    Hosted by Xavier Woods, it is full of meme-worthy content, as well as an actual storyline.<\/p>\n

    Once completed, and I'm not going to spoil the storyline of it, you do end up with a My Faction reward, so it's well worth doing.<\/p>\n

    There is one immediate change that the tutorial explains to you \u2013 a new timed mini-game for pinfalls involving using the right stick to flick up as a red block flies past the bar.<\/p>\n

    I realise that was horribly explained, but it makes sense when you play it.<\/p>\n
