WTMG’s Baylen Marston: “WWE 2K Battlegrounds knows exactly what it wants to be, and gets the job done. At first glance, people might be turned off by how the game looks and plays, but wrestling games are much better when not taken seriously. We shouldn’t have to remember a laundry list of button/joystick combinations just to pull off moves your favorite superstar is known for, we just want to get in the ring and hit our opponent. While I do believe some shortcuts were taken at the expense of ring entrances, and not paying Lawler enough money to make an effort on a disastrous commentary track, Battlegrounds is a decent alternative brawler to play at parties or when you simply just can’t fathom another round of Smash Bros.”
