I bought this game at launch for the Switch and have also played it a bit through Parsec and on my PS5, so don’t let my playtime mislead you on this review. I’ll start off by saying that this game has a lot of charm. The game reintroduces 5 Finisher/Signature slots, which leads to more unique ways to end matches. Most finishers feel impactful and satisfying. The weapons are a highlight, especially being able to ride Darby’s skateboard, pour thumbtacks on the ground, and pull Danhausen from under the ring and get cursed in the DLC. The roster, despite being small by today’s standards, is unique and filled with a ton of recognizable names, and the DLC helps round it out. Entrances are short and straight to the point, with button prompts that allow you to manually control the pyro and effects. The game also features the Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch, with the option to choose the infamously memed pyro dud explosion from Revolution 2021. It’s also the first game to reintroduce intergender matches, which had been absent from WWE games for over 15 years before being brought back in WWE 2K25.

With that being said, this game has many issues. Some models are honestly rough to look at. The create-a-wrestler suite is extremely limited, and there are very few match types, not even a basic cage match. The career mode is very bland and repetitive after clearing it once. The developers never bothered to add updated titles or arenas either. Overall, the game just lacks content, and with online basically dead, there is not much to keep you coming back. Even something simple like a PPV mode would have gone a long way in improving replayability.

However, the main issue with the game is the actual gameplay. The controls feel very wonky, even for someone with thousands of hours in arcade-style wrestling games from the THQ and Yuke’s PS2 era. Ignoring things like glitches or every table spot being blown because they feel like they are made of paper when you walk next to them, the game just lacks polish. The game’s systems are extremely easy to exploit, and the AI offers little to no challenge even on the highest difficulty. Movement feels very stiff, and many moves, outside of finishers, lack proper impact. There’s a very limited pool of standing grapple options across weak and strong grapples, so movesets start to feel repetitive without relying on punches and kicks. The health pool is very small, and sometimes one signature and a finisher is enough to end a match before it really gets going. You often have to artificially drag out matches to create any real sense of drama, even against real players. This game marketed and prided itself on being a return to No Mercy’s format, but it ends up feeling like a worse version of Day of Reckoning.

Yuke’s is my all-time favorite developer of wrestling games, so I was really excited for this one. Their 5-year run from SmackDown Shut Your Mouth to SmackDown vs Raw 2007 was legendary, and WWE 2K14 is hands down one of the best wrestling games of the last 15 years. They clearly have the ability to make great wrestling games, but for some reason they just didn’t deliver here. I’ll probably rebuy the game once the modding community cooks up something crazy, but I won’t be surprised if AEW switches developers after this disappointing release.

It's not a perfect game but one thing it does "slobberknockerly" well is making moves feel as if it is actually devastating.

Moves to the barricade and the entrance screen makes a lot of difference.

Wish they could have add a load of wrestlers more though: Takeshita, Fletcher, Thekla, and The Timeless version of Toni Storm

Honest opinion from a person that has logged many hours into both AEW and 2K.

While I admit the game has it's faults and isn't exactly perfect. It still gives you that arcade feel that games like WWE Day Of Reckoning or Wrestle Kingdom gave you. Most people try to tell you it's like WWF No Mercy. It plays more like Wrestle Kingdom I & II or DOR 1 & 2 than No Mercy. If you're wanting a simulation style game this honestly is NOT for you then. Yes, the models are off putting. But you'd be amazed at what the community has done to remedy that recently. Plus the fact that AEW Games themselves opened the game to be modded in a public forum on their own discord server.

If you wanna give the game it's fair shake people have modded this game with free mods out there that update the models with more of a 2K look.

With 2K taking the p**s and seeing AEW: Fight Forever on sale, I decided to put my money down out of curiosity to see if this game was actually any good. Well let me tell you something Mean Gene, this game ain't it.

The game is fun for only a few matches but gets stale very quickly. Gameplay wise it's meh. At first I found it okay and liked how impactful certain moves were but I quickly noticed that the hit detection was all over the place. Strikes or grapples would sometimes just...miss, reversing moves feels more like a dice roll than actually getting the timing down and your character moves like they're stuck in quicksand. I got fed up by it rather quickly.

The game severely lacks content and what it does offer is very limited. There's very few match types, the creation suite is bare bones and the career mode 'Road to Elite' feels really low effort and boring. The latter is like a combo between No Mercy's season mode and SvR 08's 24/7 mode, after just an in-game month and winning a championship I already grew sick of it. There's also a ton of mini games here too but they all feel really pointless.

As a fan of both pro wrestling and wrestling games I cannot recommend this one. The game is on sale for £8.24 but I payed around £13.22 as I also wanted to play as Matt Hardy and Adam Copeland. Even for that price I felt like I was struggling to get my money's worth out of this game. Just stick to the old N64 games or the Smackdown/SvR series.

This review is based purely on the base game (and I think three of the DLCs - I can't be bothered to check at the moment >.<)

The game itself I love. I love the art style and the actual flow of a match. I will say that I wish more of the content that was included in DLCs were base. Like some of the roster additions should have been included purely because of timing, as well as if they were gonna be late, they should have at least been their up to date persona.

Now here is my main gripe. And I know this may seem silly but it is what turned me off from the game.... There is no true female career mode. I got this because WWE games are WAY overpriced (omfg wtf are they even doing with 2k26 over there...) and the ones available didn't have a female career mode in the ones that were at the time "affordable" for me. This one was SUPPOSED to have that.
Legit if it was something they actually marketed (dunno if they did) then I'd have demanded a refund. You do get to make a female character. You START out in the female division, fighting other females.... and then one day you get asked to do a mix-gender match. And from there on it's like the story forgot your character was female because it's all fighting the guys from there. After this happened repeatedly I just stopped.

So overall, sadly its a down for me.

This game is a perfect cure to the WWE 2K series. This game was built by the original team that worked on some of the best wrestling games of all time. No Mercy, WCW vs NWO, etc... Fight Forever is made with these games as the main inspiration. As a person who has played so much No Mercy that I can't ever stop singing "di, di, digity, di digity dog......socko" If you know you know.

The opening screen has the old THQ logo to show that they really are channeling those classic games. The gameplay is absolutely perfect. They take time to get used to.. but once you do the gameplay will just click, and you'll be destroying people in awesome fashion.

There are all the game modes you'd want from a wrestling game. Simple stuff from 1v1, to royal rumble, to Exploding death matches and even has a Mario party style mini games that are great to play with friends. Game is brutal. Blood is everywhere, you can use thumbtacks that get stuck into peoples skin, you have barb-wired bats, etc. That's not even to mention the career mode that actually has its own meta gameplay such as using 4 days between matches to do things that will increase stats.

PLUS there are a ton of unlockable characters that are surprisingly great surprises. But I think you get the idea lol. This game is a perfect 10 for me. I haven't enjoyed a wrestling game since WWE All Stars on the Xbox 360!

So tldr
WWE= "sim" wrestling.
AEW= No Mercy.

I tried to like this. It pains me, but what kills it for me is lack of customization. FAR too limited.

I would recommend Mdickie's Wrestling Empire (Previously, Wrestling Revolution 3D and other wrestling games on Mdickie's downloadables)

Wrestling Empire/Revolution has much better customization, and it's very absurd and arcadey! It's a much better deal if you want better customization while also having that awesome, arcadey, fun, slavjank style gameplay.

Caveat: This is not a $50 game, do not purchase this or the DLC at full price, it is not worth that at all. Purchase it on sale like I did for $20 and you will probably get your money's worth.

The good:
This game is fun, it's pick up and play just like the old Aki games.
What modes it does present you with are fun to play.
Most of the characters look great.
Everything is smooth and runs well on my steam deck.

The bad:
While I said all the modes work well I am specifically talking about single player. Multiplayer is 100% dead. You will sit in a lobby forever and never find another person to play a match with.
While the match types that are there are fun there aren't many of them. It's pretty bare bones.
Matches only last a couple of minutes even on higher difficulty, the AI doesn't reverse moves differently depending on the strength of the move you're trying to pull off. So you are just as likely able to pull off a strong grapple as you are a weak one. Also the amount of times the AI reverses anything is extremely low even on the higher difficulties.

The Ugly:
The Creation suite sucks, it reminds me of the WCW Mayhem create a wrestler mode. You're not going to be able to create anything that looks good, you're at most going to create characters that look like imnpersonators of impersonaters of wrestlers you recognize.
Creating an arena is an odd inclusion as well because you are so limited. No custom logos, no custom anything. What the game gives you is what you get and that's not much. Want to make a Dynamite with Pink ropes? Sure you can probably do that. Want to make another promotions arena or even AEW Collision, you're not going to be able to do it.

Overall I think if you were to compare this to an AKI game you're going to have to go with WCW Revenge, still a good game but nowhere near what WWF No Mercy would become. It's got it's thrills but if you think of it as a no frills wrestling game then it's good for what it is, if you're expecting something that even lives up to No Mercy is quality then this is not the game for you.

Well worth $20(DLC included), definitely not worth $50+.

I truly wanted this game to be good. I did. But all the low reviews are right - this game is clunky, the collision sucks, and it has nothing redeeming about it. AEW needs to work with a different company for video games. I know THQ was great with WWF No Mercy, but they lost whatever Midas' touch they had back then. This game is pure trash. Even at $10, it's not worth it. Hard pass, just take my word for it.

Very nostalgic throwback to WWF Royal Rumble, WWF No Mercy, WCW NWO Revenge, Wrestlemania, Rumble Roses, and others with the fight engine and combat mechanics, but completely poorly executed.

Customize the match rules? Nope.

Play Casino Battle Royale as random fighters without having to spectate AI COMs fighting each other? Nope, and completely absurd.

Grappling win / lose indicators? Nope.

Story mode without mini-games? Nope.

CAW morph options? Nope.

WTF are you guys doing at Yuke's? This is a 5hitty low-effort release compared to all your past games.

Jogo muito divertido pra quem é fã de Pro-wrestling, e principalmente para quem acompanhou o nascimento da AEW, que foi uma época sensacional!

As mecânicas são simples e é bem tranquilo de entender como jogar. O game possui vários modos de jogo, nem cheguei a jogar todos. As variações de golpes são bem fáceis de entender.

É possível escolher as músicas a serem tocadas durante o menu e batalhas, isso é bem dahora. Eu não curti ficar ouvindo as músicas durante a batalha (numa luta contra o CM Punk ficou tocando a música do Adam Cole 🤣), mas é possível botar para elas tocarem só no menu e deixar as lutas sem música.
Tem umas músicas instrumentais muito boas no game, poderia ter a opção de separar as músicas de menu das músicas de luta.

O modo carreira do game, o Road to Elite, é bem divertido, principalmente porque vai passando por todo o começo da AEW, e até mostrando alguns vídeos reais de momentos e lutas marcantes. Nesse modo, eu aconselho jogar com um personagem criado, pois assim dá para upar os atributos do personagem e usufruir melhor do que o modo oferece.

A criação de personagens é dahora, apesar de terem poucos recursos na criação dá pra fazer algo legal. O interessante é que apesar do game não ter determinados personagens da AEW, há as músicas deles para serem usadas e se criar o personagem. Cheguei a criar a KiLynn King, com a música de entrada dela, e tava bem divertido.

É bem bugado alterar a roupa de entrada dos wrestlers no Road to Elite. Joguei com a Tay Mello na primeira vez, e não conseguia alterar de jeito nenhum as roupas de entrada dela. Só consegui alterar com um personagem criado do zero mesmo.

As entradas dos personagens antes da luta são muito rápidas, o que é uma pena, senti muita falta de ver as entradas completas. Mas mesmo assim é divertido de se ver, tendo customizações e até efeitos especiais ao apertar um botão do controle.

É um jogo super divertido de se jogar, ele é simples, fácil de pegar pra jogar casualmente alguns minutos por dia, sem precisar configurar muita coisa. Recomendo pegar ele em promoção, pois costumam aparecer boas promos para ele.

AEW is an awesome wrestling game with no regrets. Not as bad as what the negative reviews have made. Graphics may not be as fantastic as 2k series, but the action and gameplay is smooth, unlike 2K series sometimes may found glitches. It is also worth for a long term play, compare to 2K series only lasts for 2 years. Still able to play ex-WWE wrestlers like Cody, Sting, Adam (AKA Edge) and Christian. Buy it when it's on sales.

I first played this game back in early 2024 during a free play weekend on X-Box, and after several hours I wasn't impressed. I think the only reason I decided to give it another shot is because the game is complete (i.e., dead), and I know I won't be price-gouged by these absolute scam artists at THQ and their ridiculous attempt at a live service system. THQ legitimately wants $25 for their Season 2 pass which is: Toni Storm (Who signed with AEW over a year before FF dropped) (only her punk-rock gimmick when she debuted, NOT Timeless) and The Acclaimed (who debuted THREE YEARS before this game was released) and 1 (one) new single-player game mode, and then they wonder why this game flopped. FOUR different Season Passes in one year? And then there are the people who paid for the "elite" edition at launch and still had to pay for all the DLC. It's insulting.

This game's Create A Wrestler has eight different male faces to choose from. Yes, just faces. There is no changing out face parts, and certainly no morphing. Just eight pre-set faces to choose from. Meanwhile, there are twelve different types of camo pants and shorts and I'd say about half of the other choices for lower attire are boxing shorts with various national flags on them. It's a joke. You can edit existing wrestlers' attires but only to give them wacky effects like being on fire or made of metal. So if you want to do something as simple as, say, change a wrestler's basic color palette, you're out of luck. Why??? How is this customization system so much worse than WWF No Mercy on the N64?

This game has NINETEEN different minigames, and a battle royale mode. Which is neat, until you realize that there are only nine actual match types TOTAL, including singles/tags/multi-persons. All specialty gimmick matches are singles only. Want a tag ladder match? Play 2K I guess. There's no cage matches, tables matches, I quit, first blood, last man standing, coffin matches, etc. etc. And just for a real kick in the nads you can't even customize existing match rules at all (something that you could do in No Mercy). And yes, in case you were wondering, the game limits you to four wrestlers max onscreen at a time. (Legends of Wrestling II on PS2 allowed for up to eight) You can have up to 30 people playing the Stadium Stampede battle royale mode simultaneously but only four during actual wrestling matches. Make it make sense.

So, what is else is there? Not much, except the game's career mode, Road to Elite. The game touts "branching" storylines which are really a series of random micro-campaigns that do have different paths based on winning or losing matches but the individual blocks have absolutely nothing to do with each other. In my first block I won the tag team titles, but then my partner revealed he was the one behind my luggage getting lost (no, really). So then my character kicks him without me having a choice and storms off and I guess we're not tag champions anymore? It's obvious the devs were inspired by No Mercy's career mode (which is still the best career mode in any wrestling game ever imo) but again they just couldn't execute it correctly. You have to manage your character's energy and morale between matches by doing a couple various tasks and (surprise!) playing minigames. It's interesting for about one storyline block and then you find yourself just skipping through the same small handful of animations with different flavor texts/ backgrounds. Sometimes a random wrestler will show up and you have a brief conversation and then take a selfie together. Yes, this is what the devs chose to spend their time on. Oh and IDK if it's a bug or not, but every time you go back to that main RTE screen from a task (which will be VERY frequently) the same song will start even if you take it out of the damn jukebox playlist. It's obnoxious.

Now to the actual gameplay. Honestly, it's not THAT bad. It certainly does play a lot like No Mercy, but much faster. It's more of an arcade style but moves don't really feel impactful and there's a lot of awkward moments with wrestlers getting stuck on things or moves not landing when they should. I dunno how exactly to describe it, there's just kind of this weird jank in certain situations. Also if you're deep into a match and your wrestler gets knocked down, they sell for AGES. During one Casino Battle Royale I counted to 26-Mississippi watching helplessly while the CPUs fought each other, ignoring me writhing around on the mat. I don't know who needs to hear this but THAT IS NOT FUN. This might be fine in a real-life wrestling match but this is a video game. The devs were obsessed with minigames, why not make getting to your feet a quick minigame? Have me mash buttons until I fill up a meter or something. Literally anything that requires my mental and physical engagement for the video game I paid money for. Tag team matches in single player are a pain because of the awful partner AI in this game. You might as well just fight in a handicap match. Oh wait, this game doesn't have handicap matches. The opposing partner will ALWAYS come in and break up a pin/submission because your partner literally cannot navigate around you and your opponent, so every tag match requires you to hit a finisher, quickly target the other partner and knock him off the ring apron, then go back to the other guy and pin him and hope the partner doesn't make it back into the ring in time. Again, THAT IS NOT FUN. TBF WWE 2K games have the exact same problem.

I think the brightest talking point about this game I can make is the sound. The in-ring action sounds nice and crunchy and they even got all of the actual wrestlers to come in a record them grunting and whatnot. The soundtrack is also very extensive, although the quality is hit and miss. There's also entrance themes for all the wrestlers, I mean ALL of AEW's wrestlers, even those who aren't in the game, which again feels insulting. You can't play as Daniel Garcia or Kyle Fletcher but you can listen to their theme songs! Maybe THQ expects us to make them ourselves with their atrocious CAW system. But, again, the RTE menu music bug or whatever it is makes me want to pour boiling wax in my ears, so I decided to just turn the music all the way down and listen to Apple Music instead. Bummer. The graphics are... fine. They're more cartoony than the hyper-realistic WWE 2K games, which goes along with the more arcadey tone of the game in general. I'd compare them to a high end mid-cycle PS4 title. Animations are generally pretty smooth but occasionally janky. Facial scans are all over the place. Christian looks almost exactly like his real-life counterpart, while Eddie Kingston looks like a melted Kuchi Kopi figure.

There really are the bones of a solid, excellent arcade-style wrestling game to counteract WWE 2K's sim style buried somewhere in Fight Forever, but the prioritization of fluff and non-wrestling gameplay over actual matches and a fun career mode were a huge mistake. Well, that and the borderline-exploitative live service system. Every decision made during the production of this game was absolutely boneheaded. It's a real bummer because despite the roster being very outdated, it's still really good, because AEW has always had a stacked roster. It's also refreshing to play as some non-WWE wrestlers like Darby Allin and Jay White. Of course, the game being abandoned last year means relatively newer stars like Ospreay, Okada, Moné, Ricochet, etc. will never be included, and that really sucks. Hopefully when/if AEW makes a new game they'll have their heads screwed on straight and their priorities in order. What a horribly mismanaged waste of time and money. Maybe Kenny Omega should stick to playing video games instead of pretending he knows how to make them. Fk this game.

El juego es pésimo. No ofrece nada interesante mas que los deathmatch. La suma de gráficos pobres, un roster deficiente y la carencia de personajes pesima esto lo convierten en una opción que debe evitarse si buscas algo de AEW mejor compra el wwe y añade mods.

This is a very fun game only problem is the graphics quality and the limited customization for your custom wrestler other then that its a very good fun game i like it, if you like wrestling games i highly reccomend giving this game a try

I made a review for WWE Battlegrounds not too long ago stating that you should buy this instead. Now that I've tested it for myself, just save your money please there's no good modern wrestling game anymore :/ it's a NO for me.

(tbh, I see the potential but it's quite lacking the fun factor. Matches are fun, but that's it? I wanna like this game but it just doesn't deliver and will make you say it's a good product. it doesn't help they keep advertising the Season Pass every once in a while when they could just improve the overall game instead lol)

Hype package videos and arcade style of the game is what THQ and Yukes did great with WWE SVR franchise
However, lack of your own character customization which is only based on couple of models, 10-seconds entrances and bad explaining of how controls work despite game being arcade makes it less enjoyable.

Despite this, AEW FF and THQ managed to hype me up to give it a go to AEW's history and present, therefore mixed reception and hope that if developers decide to publish new AEW game, make it more serious.

Ok. So, yes, it has glitches and bugs, but for anyone who was a kid or teen in the Monday Night Wars era, this isn't too far off from what we had then. It certainly isn't the worst that I have ever played (that goes to WCW vs NWO World Tour) and not the best (Wrestlemania 2000/ WCW Revenge) but it does bring a bit of nostalgia with it. For the right price, it is a fair game to remember what was.

Certo, i paragoni con altri titoli passati della THQ di wrestling non reggono, ma semplicemente perché è impossibile farne un confronto. Erano altri tempi, altra tecnologia e quei titoli storici erano davvero avanti rispetto all'epoca in cui venivano giocati.

Diciamo che in questo gioco di AEW, tra grafica gameplay e altro, siamo rimasti al 2005, ma che dire, a me piace e la AEW neanche la guardo.

Ci gioco volentieri, faccio la Road to Elite divertendomi e, anche se talvolta i movimenti possono risultare goffi durante un match, in realtà la modalità di gioco è semplice, intuitiva e divertente.
A volte la semplicità paga e credo sia questo il caso.
Non mi sento di bocciarlo, ci gioco volentieri e continuerò a giocarci.

Después de probar 2K25 quise ver que tenía la otra compañía para ofrecer y
huhhhhhh

Es muy malo XD
Siento que vale nada más para unas risas y ya está, pero en general ni la personalización ni las físicas ni la velocidad ni nada donde apoyarse; Fight Forever se queda como una versión moderna de SmackDown Vs. Raw debido al equipo que lo desarrollo siento el mismo que de esos juegos de antaño, pero sin tenerme a mí como una mocosa a la que le encantaban este tipo de cosas y más como alguien con capacidad de razonamiento para decir cuando algo no me está gustando.

Deberían intentarlo otra vez con otro motor o ya de plano otro estudio, AEW tiene demasiado para ofrecer como para quedarse estancado en un intento y un "Que podría ser".

All the movement is stiff with rigid maneuvers that are nothing but real time cutscenes you trigger with your button presses. None of it feels natural or fluid. AAA wrestling games are pure garbage. Try Wrestling Empire instead.

As a WWF NO MERCY fan I got this game on like 94% off. For that price it's worth it and even then I still felt that there could've been more to this game. They could've expanded on the CAW & create a finisher but no. They gave nonsense like stadium stampede. I came here for the No Mercy experience & now it seems like they abandoned the game. Only get this game on a steep discount.

With the discounts this game gets lately its worth it if you can get it cheap.
Its an arcade style wrestling game and is fun to play with friends.
Dont expect WWE 2k style or quality because this isnt it.
Think WCW vs NWO Revenge. Controls are similar to that classic.

Проблема игры в том, что она пустая. У тебя рестлеров раз два и обчёлся. Хочешь контента? Плати бешеные деньги. Они поступили неправильно, им надо было делать эти обновы бесплатными, а уже во второй игре, если бы та когда-нибудь вышла, уже платными. То есть игру надо было наполнить контентом, чтобы люди тянулись к ним, к их следующим играм. А так игра просто прикольная на несколько вечеров, но особо делать в ней нечего.

Only buy this when it's on sale, like I did. I paid $20 for everything, and that should be your limit too.

There's never been enough content here for a full-price recommendation, despite the actual gameplay itself being incredibly fun.

That being said, any game with the Deadlock boyz in it for no extra charge has the right things going for it.

I originally bought this on release for Nintendo switch, generally just excited to finally have a wrestling game on a handheld device. I was very disappointed not only with the performance but also with the available content and lack of match variety. Fast forward a couple of years and seeing the ultimate edition on a steam sale I decided to grab it for my Rog ally Extreme.
After nearly 2 hours with all the dlc my opinion has changed. Don't get me wrong, the lack of content and match variety is still a problem... That being said, the actual moment to moment gameplay is really fun and does accurately recreate that old school no mercy/wcw vs nwo revenge vibe. It doesn't hurt that the performance even on my PC handheld is excellent with 120fps on high settings with extremely fast load times. This isn't the game you're going to sink long play sessions into like the WWE 2k series but, it is an excellent wrestling game to drop in and run a few matches when you're in the mood for that older arcade feel. The roster is small, but has a lot of name recognition even for casual fans.
The price barrier of entry on other platforms makes it a hard sell for what it is but if you can catch it on a sale it's worth every penny for fans of the wrestling genre.

Il est ni bon, ni mauvais. Il est moyen. Je recommande tout de même le jeu si vous aimez le côté arcade qu'on peut retrouver dans le jeu [i]WWE All Stars[/i] (sorti en 2011, c'était il y a 14 ans tout de même). Mais honnêtement je ne comprends pas pourquoi il y a le tag "réalisme" alors que c'est pas du tout le cas.

Sinon j'avoue que c'est fun à jouer mais sans plus. Le mode carrière est plat et sans saveur et je vous avoue que j'ai fini par abandonner en cours de route (sans vouloir faire de mauvais jeu de mot).

Очень перехайпленный "убийца 2к". На самом деле играется довольно неплохо (попробуйте вырваться хоть из одного удержания), но она как-будто бы прям сыренькая. Наполнения в создании бойца столько же как и в WWE 2k15, а она выходила 10 лет назад! Очень скудненько. Неплохой сюжетный режим приедается на второй-третий раз и становится вовсе невыносим. Онлайна в игре нет, так что удачи найти матч с другим человеком. К тому же выпускали огромное количество DLC для своей пустой игры за огромные бабки. Нет бы бесплатно что-то патчами добавлять, но тут прям очень жадные разрабы. В общем брать можно только по хорошей скидке и если прям фанат.
