The best quote I saw in a review is that it's terrible for people who like to create, fun enough for people who like to get to the gameplay, which is pretty much what I expected.
Personally, I'm the type who likes to create. I play wrestling games for the CAWs, creating shows, giving everyone cool entrances, etc. and barely spend any time actually in matches. So I knew early on this one wasn't gonna be for me as I can get a better AEW experience for what I'm looking for within WWE 2K23.
It is a shame though to see that despite the core gameplay loop being fun, it is so barebones outside of that for the people who were looking forward to it.
