A MUST Read: The 25 BEST OCULUS QUEST 2 GAMES You Need To Play In 2023
Creed: Rise To Glory; A Cinematic Boxing VR Game
GRAPHICS & ENVIRONMENT + MUSIC
Now, let’s start this list off with Creed: Rise To Glory; A Cinematic Boxing VR Game
A VR game set in the world of the Rocky franchise and puts you in the shoes of Adonis Creed. You’ll start from humble beginnings in the gym, working your way up to become a world champion boxer.
The game boasts impressive graphics, sound design, and attention to detail… THIS GAME HAS IT ALL! I really liked the subtle things that are in this game like when the referee introduces you the Spotlight turns onto you and the slow-motion introductions…
REALISM
Creed: Rise to Glory has a lot of punch when it comes to game modes. It features a single-player story campaign, a semi-open world i.e. boxing gym, and even a multiplayer mode.
Not to mention, having Sylvester Stallone as your cornerman shouting iconic advice is a true knockout.
And while the phantom melee technology can make punches feel a bit clunky, the sound effects and overall vibe of the game more than makeup for it.
GAME TIME
The single-player campaign mode is engaging, with cutscenes and character interactions but it is SHORT
And in terms of gameplay, the matches typically last around 5-7 minutes, which is just enough time to get your boxing fix without dragging on too long.
Level of Difficulty
One standout feature is the unique knockout mechanic. Instead of a simple black screen or waiting period, you have a limited amount of time to “get back into your body” after being knocked down, adding an extra layer of intensity to each fight.
According to me, anyone can play this game; no matter the age.
Area Space
You need some area space for playing this game. And yeah, Remember to stretch before playing VR boxing, or else you might end up with a sore back or pulled muscle. Who knew that punching air could be so dangerous?
Creed: Rise to Glory
Knockout League; Arcade Boxing VR Game
GRAPHICS & ENVIRONMENT + MUSIC
The 2nd Boxing VR Game that caught my eye was Knockout League; An Arcade Boxing VR Game
Knockout League VR is an arcade-style boxing game that focuses on fun and fast-paced gameplay, with each opponent having a unique fighting style and special moves to keep you on your toes.
The game has a colourful and vibrant environment, which is designed to keep players engaged. And the upbeat and energetic music, combined with sound effects and dialogue, add to the game’s overall charm and appeal.
REALISM
Unlike other boxing games that focus on realism, Knockout League VR has a playful aesthetic style that is charming and appealing.
And the MITT-PUNCHING is just…… I can’t express it, you gotta try it out for yourself and the feeling when your trainer appreciates you for properly punching the mitts is just one-sided.
I think I had more fun training than in actual playing.
If you’re not sure how to throw a proper punch, don’t worry. Just close your eyes, swing your arms wildly, and hope for the best. Who knows, you might just get lucky.
GAME TIME
The game’s maximum match time of 6 minutes makes it perfect for quick pick-up-and-play sessions.
Knockout League offers great replayability due to its arcade gameplay, the variety of opponents, and a wide range of training mini-games.
And let me tell you, the mini-games and training modes are the biggest standout of this game.
Level of Difficulty
Knockout League VR is perfect for all ages, including kids, with a difficulty level that is just right.
It offers an excellent cardio workout, requiring quick reflexes and movements, making it perfect for people looking for a fun way to stay fit and active.
Area Space
And this game also doesn’t require that much play area, you just need to stay in the middle and you’ll be good to go
Knockout League
The Thrill of the Fight; The Ultimate VR Boxing Simulator
GRAPHICS & ENVIRONMENT + MUSIC
Now let’s take a look at our last Boxing VR Game; The Thrill of the Fight; The Ultimate VR Boxing Simulator.
Float Like A Butterfly, Sting Like A Bee” May Work For The Great Muhammad Ali, But In VR Boxing, It’s More Like “dodge Like A Cat, Punch Like A Robot
The graphics and environment may not be as flashy as Creed, but they are still good enough to keep you immersed in the game.
And for only $9.99 you get the ultimate Boxing VR Simulator which is one of the major reasons that it’s a hit among the VR Community
REALISM
The first aspect that stands out in this game is the feeling of throwing punches. The game has a unique physics engine that makes each punch feel realistic and satisfying.
You’ll feel the impact of your punches as they connect with your opponent, and you’ll feel the thrill of victory when you land that knockout punch.
Like its very hard to describe how it feels to knock out an opponent in this game.
GAME TIME
The game time per session is not fixed, as you can defeat your opponent in the first round or you can play for 5 rounds straight; each round lasts for 3 minutes with 1-minute breaks in between.
The game does feature mini-games & other modes but I think that part isn’t its strongest but its is a perfect VR game for those who want to use VR for exercise.
Level of Difficulty
You can customize the settings to suit your preferences in terms of difficulty and other factors.
But, in my opinion, this game is not for everyone and especially not for kids. The game is very hard to play although it features easy difficulty. But yeah, I just wanted to point that out.
The thrill of the fight is easily one of the most frustrating VR games but as soon as you knock out your opponent it becomes the most satisfying VR game.
Area Space
The game requires a decent play area to play. I must tell you that if you don’t have the recommended play area of 6.5 ft by 5 ft then don’t you think of buying this game, because I’m telling you with my experience.
I was so immersed and focused on defeating my opponent that I punched my wall and broke my fingers, you can see that video on our YT channel (Stay Tuned!)
The Thrill of the Fight
CONCLUSION: WHICH BOXING GAME TO PLAY?
Depends on what you want honestly – if you’re looking for realism and calorie burning, the thrill of the fight is the winner hands down.
If you’re looking for a more “gamey” and cinematic feel then Creed is your pick.
And finally, if you’re looking for an arcade game that brings back nostalgia then Knockout League is the game you’re looking for.
