AEW Fight Forever is Already Painfully Out of Date

As many predicted in the lead-up to its release, the reception to AEW Fight Forever was incredibly mixed. Some fans adored the WWF No Mercy-inspired approach, praising the simplicity of the mechanics and the quick, arcadey matches. Others criticized the game for its lack of polish, which ranged from bugs and outdated graphics to a lack of commentary and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it entrances. For every point of praise, like chain wrestling and individual wrestler taunts, there was something to criticize, like a poor create-a-wrestler suite. Regardless of where fans fall on the game, though, most would agree that it is struggling to keep up in one major area: its roster.
