As far as 2K games goes, it's pretty good. It's way better than 2K22 and 2K20 anyway, and is comparable to 2K19 (with much better CAWs and textures). 2k19, though, has a ton of mods and shit. But the gameplay in 2K23 feels pretty good to me, unless you just hate the combo system outright.
The people who are saying "It's just animations after a mini game" don't really make much sense to me. Fire Pro is also watching animations after a mini-game. It's such a broad reductionist statement that it can be used to belittle any gameplay really, kek.
But would I recommend anyone spending 100 bucks on this shit? Hell no, not unless you've got money to burn and just really like all wrestling games. For the average gaming fan? Nah. For the average wrestling fan, even? Nah. It's better but the price tag is outrageous. Get it on sale later.
