Extremely shallow. It tries to recreate the feeling of playing N64 wrestling games with your friends but somehow it feels like it has a fraction of the depth. They wasted their time making a bunch of minigames that are god awful instead of focusing on things relevant to the actual game. I would trade every single minigame for one additional match type. I get that you're trying to get that N64 feeling in there, but when I wanted to play minigames I would take No Mercy out of the N64 and put Pokemon Stadium in.
The single player mode, road to the elite, is repetitive and dull. The writing in it is probably at a lower bar than widely mocked games like Forsaken. Also, the DLC is hilariously priced. Can I just buy Toni Storm for like 2 bucks without getting a shittyl minigame too? I was so eager for this game because the WWE 2K games desperately need competition. They have been stagnant and dull for a long time. I was wary when they announced Yukes, a big part of that stagnation, was involved in this...and I was right to feel that way.
Stick to N64 wrestling games. The marathon of single matches in WCW/nWo revenge you get in that single player mode is infinitely preferable to anything here
