Fight Forever!!! Okay, I'm finally getting down to write this review after months of playing AEW: Fight Forever. Yes, it's THAT much fun! For those who don't know, I'm a huge wrestling fan, especially All Elite Wrestling. Please check out my review of AEW's first Grand Slam event here. And yes, I'll be attending the September 20th event at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Come holler at ya girl if you see me. As for the game, is it fun? Hell yes! Is it perfect? Not exactly. It does have glitches, especially when you are trying to create a move set for your customized wrestler. I mean, my character just stands there frozen after doing the sickest dropkick until my opponent smacks her out of her reverie of sorts. Overall, it is fun to play as your favorite wrestlers and have them win most of the gold. My favorite match to put the wrestlers through is, yup, the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match. Yes, I'm sick. But man, you haven't lived unless you tried it out. With the Stadium Stampede feature and the Limitless Bunny pack (with Keith Lee and The Bunny *check out her vlog. She's wonderful*) recently released, it's more continued joy to behold. You can play online with friends, challenge you enemies, or partake on the Road to Elite storyline. And as much as I enjoy the Road to Elite story mode, my main gripe with it is that when playing a female or femme-presenting character, there are very few scenarios that fit perfectly, such as challenging for the AEW Women's Heavyweight Championship. Everything else is mostly the male-based storyline. Not much variety. However this is AEW's first video game for console users and for it's freshman effort, they did a great job overall. I still have a great time, and explore the Road to Elite with all of the wrestlers. Currently my strongest (and one of my favorite) wrestler is Jade Cargill, and seeing her return on AEW Collision added more to my excitement. My second strongest (and also fave) is Kenny Omega, who I still dream of challenging to Street Fighter someday. Yep, a gal can dream. Next wrestler for me to play is the devil himself, MJF. That should be interesting. So my lovelies, I say give AEW: Fight Forever a chance. It's a fun debut for AEW in the gaming world with so many options to explore, despite the glitches. Until next time, and maybe I'll see you at Arthur Ashe on September 20th. Fight Forever!!!
