"TopSpin 2K25 aptly brings the beloved franchise back to center court, showing that not only does the series still have legs, but so does the sim-tennis genre as a whole. Though its modes are somewhat repetitive and it’s missing several …"

"TopSpin 2K25 is the best &s;serious&s; tennis game we&s;ve played since, frankly, the last one was released 13 years ago. Its characters look a bit off, its career mode is dry and the typical 2K microtransaction nonsense is in there …"

"TopSpin 2K25 is light on modes, but the gameplay is excellent, leading to tense and exciting matches against the world&s;s very best."

"After thirteen years, is this the tennis game you’ve been waiting for? Personally, this simple formula didn’t grab me. This is pure tennis, a faithful simulation of a complex sport. The entire experience has been distilled and purified, perfect for …"

"Even when I&s;m not playing TopSpin 2K25, I&s;m thinking about playing TopSpin 2K25. I&s;m obsessed with its gameplay, despite its online play being held back by some inconsistencies. TopSpin is a clear contender for the best sports game of 2024."

"TopSpin 2K25 is the return to the tennis court. A long-awaited comeback and it does so through the front door, taking everything that worked in TopSpin 4 and improving it. Especially its gameplay, based on that title, but much deeper. …"

"If you enjoy over-indulgent, over-technical gameplay as opposed to genuine fun then Top Spin 2K25 is the game for you!"

"TopSpin 2K25 should have been much more and not just a minimal visual update of the fourth game that also, and as it could not be otherwise with current 2K, bases its approach on online play and earning coins to …"

"TopSpin 2K25 delivers an entertaining experience, but there is still so much room for improvement, from lack of licensed players to more gameplay modes."

"Can we make sports games fun, full and enjoyable to play again instead of superficial games that exploit players, please?"

"TopSpin 2K25 is a decent return to form for the franchise, especially when you stick to the more casual side of things. Trying to get better at the game, however, can be fraught with frustration owing to its control scheme. …"

"They say form is temporary, class is permanent. And there is a baseline class to Top Spin, a great-feeling tennis game underneath any of the other complaints. But it&s;s in very poor form, making unforced errors, double-faulting, and missing volleys. …"

"“Overall I’m enjoying it,” says Matt directly. “But with sport games and, in particular, tennis games already being a bit repetitive, Hangar 13 needs to speed up progress on career mode to make it more enjoyable. There seem to be …"
