it has gameplay hooks of building up a little monster that you get in Binding of Isaac without having the aesthetic approach of a shithead 10th grader's textbook marginalia

No kidding, no need to bad mouth a better game to build up a pretty good game.
Weird to say it, but I actually disagree with Alex this time. I liked the old wrestling games too, but I don't think they're anything to hold up as good examples of much of anything in today's world. I actually enjoyed the slower paced, simmy nature of this game. It tickles me to see things that happen in lots of matches actually appear in a game. I like the new reversal system a lot, and it makes the matches considerably more thoughtful than I'm used to. It doesn't hurt that Stone Cold is one of my all-time faves, or that I've never been more into the main roster or wrestling in general, or that it's the first time I can take full advantage of the Community Creations system. I still wouldn't have paid 60 bucks for it (I split it with a friend), but I'd personally give it more like 3 stars, verging on 4. It's miles from perfect, but I also think it's miles from trash.
