Create a wrestler has some good move customisation and decent enough visual customisation, the career mode is alright and the Rey Mysterio campaign is passable. The MyFaction is a really REALLY mixed bag with a lot of the daily challenges mislabelled or bugged and with certain match types being very poorly tested (such as 6 man tornado tag) as the AI will just focus on one wrestler completely, sometimes deliberately losing the match by refusing to break up pins. Due to the match actions and being unable to control both of your wrestlers this often means your teammate loses the match for you by pinning an AI while you are chain stunned/countered by the other 3 causing you to win the match but fail the objectives with no player agency which is idiotic, just allow the player to switch wrestlers or remove this half baked game mode. The constant issues with animations locking, snapping, collisions missing/not connecting, random I-frames, being interrupted out of your own moves by yourself, the referee or collisions with environmental objects and the AI just being all over the place really mar what would otherwise be a really enjoyable game.

I got this as part of PS+ essential for no cost and it still feels too expensive. The performance is like a slide-show at times, the idea of character archetypes is clumsily implemented, there is little difference in controlling different characters. The campaign is okay but the (only single challenge) is introduced by simply inflating opponents health to absurd proportions and just turns the game into a slog. The UI and layout is similar to that of a moba or battle-pass shooter and fairly poor, mtx and storefront bloat included.

Controls are terrible, it's a joke that this game (if bought) costs £15, you can get a physical version of Lost Judgment for a hair over that and the master system version of Alex Kidd on that is a better game than this. Add to the fact that the trophies are bugged I wish I hadn't even bothered streaming it. Finished the game and there's no way in hell I'm replaying it to get the plat due to trophies bugging. The 'new' graphics mode is terrible as it makes the game harder to play due to the hitboxes and animations not even lining up neatly compared to the classic version.
