AEW: Fight Forever (PS5)

Product Information

AEW Fight Forever has a few different game modes, and even a handful of mini games. Mis(sing) Match Plans of a game for the promotion were reported as early as October 2019 and officially announced in November 2020, with the game being the first wrestling game developed by Yuke's since 2018 with WWE 2K19, before the studio ended its working relationship with WWE. The game is heavily inspired by previous console generations of wrestling games, particularly WWF No Mercy for the Nintendo 64, with an arcade-style of gameplay with exaggerated wrestler appearances and presentation, as opposed to a more realistic simulation style of the developer's most recent previous wrestling games.

Along the way you can trigger various cutscenes too, where you interact with other members of the roster. N64 release WWE No Mercy is considered legendary in virtual wrestling circles, and when news of an AEW game broke in 2018, Japanese developer Syn Sophia was strongly linked to the project. Fans responded with unrestrained glee: Syn Sophia is the current name of famed No Mercy developer AKI Corporation. The custom arena feature in AEW Fight Forever is absolutely fantastic.

In addition to strikes and grapples, here are additional actions that you can perform when your opponent is grounded: Action Khayl Adam is the second best video game journalist Australia has ever produced, and his ambitions of world domination have (thus far) been curbed by the twin siren songs of strategy games and CRPGs. He has always felt an affinity for the noble dachshund, the best kind of dog.

AEW is a bit thin on the ground when it comes to creation options. Players can create wrestlers, teams and arenas. Each effect and pyro assigned to each button can be customized by editing a wrestler " Entrance Scene" in the "Custom Wrestler" mode. Action Fight Forever isn’t an ugly game, but it’s hard to say it looks good either. Wrestler models range from very competent to flat out awful, and a lot of them just look wildly out of proportion, especially on the match setup screen.

There are also some pretty bold choices when it comes to controls, too. Certain wrestlers have skills that change up the way they fight, allowing them to do things others aren’t able to.

Between matches you can carry out various activities to replenish stats like energy and mood, or accrue money and skill points. Skill points are only useful if you’re using a created wrestler, though. What is here is OK, but it does feel a little bit… sparse, and the absence of a belt creator in 2023 is unforgivable. Jericho was one of the first three wrestlers announced, alongside fellow main eventer Kenny Omega and long-time women’s champ Hikaru Shida.

Meanwhile, there’s only a few match types, and the Road to Elite career mode is just a bunch of self-contained storylines with no real choice, agency or enjoyment to be had. Some of the cutscenes have some silly jokes that might get a laugh or two, but there’s only so many times you can see the same workout scene over and over again before you want to take your ball and go home. Yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds, but the skills are a lot of fun, and make each match feel a bit different depending on who you choose to play as. On August 12, 2022, a trailer at the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase featuring Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Tony Schiavone was revealed, with one-on-one gameplay, as well as a look at the different mini-games in Fight Forever. [33] It was also announced that a demo of the game would be playable at Gamescom, winning the award for Best Sports Game at the event. [34] [35] On September 15, 2022, a demo was also playable at the Tokyo Game Show. [36] To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software.
