So, with the summer sale here, I thought, why not buy this game. And here, as someone who has played since SmackDown! vs RAW 2009, is my review.
Gameplay
The gameplay has improved somewhat since 2k15 (haven't played 16), and the moves are sold much better by the wrestlers than before. But still there's some buggy stuff going around. I had this match with John Cena vs Daniel Bryan and somehow it became Bryan vs Tyson Kidd with me as Cena just running around not able to pin one of the two. Also some moves are still glitchy, but besides those bugs, the gameplay is rather good.
Graphics
I understand that you need a good pc for this, but as someone who can play GTA V on High/Ultra settings on stable 60-70 fps, Dying Light on High or Mirror's Edge Catalyst on High without a single stutter, I'm pretty dissapointed that this game just can't run properly on my rig on High settings. And even when I have adjusted the graphics so that it runs on 60 fps, it still doesn't feel like 60 fps sometimes. Also the fact that the fps kinda drops outside the rings pretty bad.
Roster
Roster is good, without DLC's aswell. Creating CAW's is fun, but I miss a lot of NORMAL hairstyles and stuff we had before. Also the body art has been minimalized a lot.
Universe
Better and worse than before. Nothing much to say about it.
MyCareer
Haven't played yet.
Overall Result
7,3 out of 10
Recommended, but beefy PC is necessary.

WWE 2K17 for PC
An amazing wrestling experience
While 2K15 was a disapointment for a lot of people, 2K16 was a big step in the right direction. 2K17 on the other hand, is a lot better than both of them. They have learned from many mistakes.
Positive:
Big roster.
Improved career mode, with Promos.
Creating your own wrestler with infinite options. You could even create yourself.
You can create your own Stages,
Creation of custom titles.
Backstage Brawls
The gameplay improved overall. Feels more natural and more responsive.
A lot of things to unlock.
A lot of gamemodes
The universal mode is even better than it used to be.
Online and local multiplayer.
You can upload and download user created wrestlers.
Tons of moves
AJ Styles :)
Neutral:
Some of the animations can look weird.
Decent, but not great graphics. Especially the audience. Does not look like a game from 2016-17.
Glitches. I'm putting them on the Neutral section, because they can lead to hilarious moments.
Negative:
Some people are experiencing performance issues. (I have an I5 and a GTX970, everything runs smooth for me only a few FPS drops)
Entrances are locked at 30FPS
Came out later than the console versions and does not include all DLC's (Like it usually does).
VERDICT:
WWE 2K17 is one of the best(Maybe even the best) wrestling game I have played. They have improved a lot of things. My final score is a 85/100
Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment.

Keep supporting wrestling games on PC.

I can't help but love these games. The creation suite is what makes it so damn fun. That and the downloadable characters. Want a NJPW game? buy this one and download your favourite characters. Want to play with the young bucks and beat the revival? Buy this game and download the young bucks. Want CM Punk back? You get the idea. On top of that you can make your own wrestler, arena, title, video, move-set.. I spend more time making shit than playing the damn game.

WWE 2K17
I played from WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 through 2K17 and here are the features I'm missing in the game
Pros:
Slight graphical improvements every year.
Taunt system.
My Career mode more immersive.
WWE games on PC
Promos I like the Idea but where are the voices ?
Cons
Bring back the old GM mode please.
Missing alot of various match types like Inferno, Buried alive match etc.
Not able to use your own music for enterance.
Not able to create your own Finisher.
No storylines wich alot of people buy the game for.
Game optimization from console to pc could use more improvements.
DLC is not free while we waited months and months to be able to play on PC.
This what I could think of at this moment. I do recommend the game if your a WWE fan.
