  • AEW: Fight Forever-the first video game release by young wrestling company All Elite Wrestling-looks to bring the pro-wrestling video game genre to its more fast-paced, arcade-styled roots. Hoping to bring the fun of classic pro-wrestling games like WCW/NWO Revenge and No Mercy, AEW: Fight Forever features a simple control scheme that, while it takes a few minutes to learn, offers quite a bit of depth for more dedicated players.
    Pair that with a solid career mode, and an incredible number of match types and unlockables, AEW: Fight Forever feels like a love-letter to the classic pro-wrestling games that the dominant franchise in the market seems to have left behind.

    The graphics are what I'm charmed by, actually. Got a throwback feel to it. Create-a-wrestler online, brief entrances...For AEW's first stab at this, I'm not expecting the sun and the moon. As long as its functional and fun, I'll be good.

    I don't mind the mid tier graphics, it's an obvious throwback to the AKI wrestling games on N64. I am however, taken back on how this game is more arcadey than the WWE 2K games. Back then the AKI games (No Mercy, Revenge) were considered superior because of the smooth animations and realistic gameplay, wrestlers actually stayed down after a big move, unlike in early smackdown games, they get right back up even after a finisher. I hope AEW FF is nothing like that and the arcade style only refers to the easy pick up and play mechanism.....

    I have it and played it , it looks like a ported Nintendo switch game , or early ps4 game . If you can get past the graphics and the some times interesting facial graphics , it’s a fun game . For some one who doesn’t want a tekken or a mortal kombat type of combo system to pull off a move it’s fun . It almost seems it was made for the ps4 , and the graphics where not really boosted to take advantage of the ps5 , but it runs smooth. I think it’s fun, enjoyable and the buttons , moves and the design of what and how to play . My 5 yr old nefew can play it as can i and we both can have fun , nothing is perfect as our personal tastes are different , but they way I look at it , it’s your money that you spend , if you like it buy it if not then don’t, it’s simple . Last point keep in mind it out on all platforms so it had to be made in a way that would be compatible across them easily , with out having to do major changes in coding and design . AEW has gone for the mass audience here , not just the next Gen consoles. so it both a positive and negative impact.

    Gameplay is FANTASTIC, graphics are far from bad, just a different style(You guys must've forgot what a playstation 2 game looks like). The amount of people that wanted them to make a 2k clone are people not worth taking serious Lmao. They wouldve complained about that too. The game however, is seriously lacking DEPTH. They have less content than wrestling games from 20 years ago... That's unacceptable. If they address this, this could end up being the best wrestling game since maybe 2k14...maybe even further back. Great first effort, but they need to address the content issue ASAP.
