I didn’t change the keyboard controls at all. And – odd as the arrow key mappings sound – they work quite well too, and every button you need is by default mapped to keys that you can reach without needing an extra limb. Timing is far more important than speed or precise analogue stick movements or anything, and as long as you can get past the fact that most of your attacks are mapped to the arrow keys by default, all of this actually works pretty well with the keyboard. The game is… I want to say “clunky”, but that’s got pretty negative connotations, so let’s just say that every movement and attack is slow and weighty. Now, I’m shit at the game and I don’t understand wrestling, so maybe I’m a massive idiot, but it seems to handle an awful lot better on keyboard than the majority of fighting games I can think of. After playing with that for a few hours, I decided to try out the keyboard controls, and I haven’t really gone back to the controller since.
That said, I’m both pleased and surprised that the keyboard controls seem to be entirely playable, and a part of me kinda prefers them to using the Steam Controller. You’ve gotta be careful with that Step On Apron key, especially when The Rock is cooking. Removing graphics and keybindings from the equation, there are about 50 different options to customise the gameplay experience.
I’m not going to spam every single one of WWE 2K16‘s options screens (look at the picture below to see how many options menus there are, and bear in mind that most of them contain way more tweakables than the graphics) but you can adjust everything from difficulty and subtitles and audio levels, right the way to the more esoteric bits and pieces like how strong foreign objects (chairs and the like) are, how often the AI will reverse each type of move, whether key pop-ups appear to help you out, and so on. In terms of gameplay options, you can tweak practically everything. This… doesn’t surprise me much, considering how it looks, but we’ll get to that.

The game itself has been running at a flawless 60FPS throughout, on full settings. I can say that the game also supports 3840×2160, which is nice, and I can also say that you can basically ignore the benchmark results on the right because the only frame-drops came when I took a screenshot. It’s not actually a terrible selection, but it’s also not massively detailed.

This is a somewhat paradoxical example in that there are loads of options, buuuut not that many of them are PC specific.

This may have been down to trying to play in Steam Big Picture mode and it was attempting to do the standard Steam “installing all the drivers you already have” first-run thing, but I’m not sure.Īnd before you say “Aha, you know who Stone Cold Steve Austin is you do know about wrestling!” I’d like to point out that he has “Austin” emblazoned on his top, so it wasn’t one of my more impressive deductions.Īlright, options. Quitting out and then restarting the program seemed to make everything run just fine, though. Alt-tabbing out and back in fixed that and let it progress, buuut it also prevented the controller from working. The first time I ran the game, things didn’t actually go particularly well it seemed to freeze on the loading screen, giving me a long time to admire Stone Cold Steve Austin’s armpits. Because if I have to look at Steve Austin’s armpits, so do you.
