The game's only real misstep is the wildly inconsistent graphical presentation, but the gameplay and amount of features and things to do more than makes up for some occasionally shoddy visuals.

WWE 2k16 solves almost every problem that the previous game had, making it one of the most enjoyable wrestling games of the last few years.

WWE fans will love this game, but some aspects such as wrestling mechanics and the general graphical appearance need to improve in the future.

A bigger roster, more finely-tuned gameplay mechanics and a more versatile creation system help make WWE 2K16 the current-gen superstar that it wants to be, even if some inconsistent ideas and bugs do hold it back from time to time.

WWE 2K16 is clearly a step in the right direction. The game may not be perfect visually but it has a lot of content and fun new gameplay elements (the new submission system has got to go though).

WWE 2K16 improves on the many things wrong with last year's game, but not nearly enough.
