If you hit the same button as your opponent during a combo, you get a counter attack. There are other counters as well, or breakers. If you hit it at the right time, you can counter your opponents' attack, no matter what. The block button also doubles as a counter button. You have a block button too, which you hold to block. You can also use this button with a combo. You have a grapple button, which allows you to do big moves, or whip your opponent to the roped. Each superstar has different combos and moves listed in pause menu, so they're easily accessible. Light, Light, Heavy, Heavy can pull off the coolest of moves pretty easily. You can use these for a combo of attacks. He wants you to be Good at the Game (TM). He tells you to save all the crazy over the top high-risk maneuver stuff. He takes you through learning the basics. The game kicks in with a tutorial from Power Point presenter Superstar Drew Gulak. There are 5 iterations of him, all complete with each separate entrance and move set. Undertaker, for example, has been in wrestling since Hulk Hogan, and just retired last year. All that said, some of them are different versions depending on the era. Even those wrestlers that have been "future endeavored" are here. And Alexa Bliss, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, The New Day, and even Happy Corbin from the "PG" era. Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, John Cena, and JBL, from the Ruthless Aggression era. You have Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Trish Stratus from the Attitude Era. You have Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, and The Ultimate Warrior from the Titan Towers era. There are 168 wrestlers total in this game after all the unlocks, downloads, special packs and so on. It's so full of content and customization, this is quite possibly the most ambitious WWE game yet. WWE2K22 shows up, raises hell, hits us with a rock bottom, a stone cold stunner, and a tombstone power driver. And believe me when I tell you, it hits hard. The press releases prior to WWE2K22 claimed this game hit different. And though you would think that all they would have to do is give us a game, and leave us alone for a while, 2K22 did the opposite. You've seen them, you've heard about them, we all know, so that's the last time we mention the previous entry. This review is late because WWE2K22 clearly vowed to never ever make the mistakes the franchise made with a previous entry in the series.
