Boxing video games can be an escape from reality as you punch, jab, and Hookshot, your opponent. Picture somebody, you don’t like and unleash your rage on them in these awesome boxing games I am about to present to you.
Best Boxing Games
You can literally buy boxing gloves and punch your friends and families, but that’s no fun, and boxing is supposed to be fun. Well, you can indeed do so in video games. Moreover, you can actually learn boxing by playing motion sensors and Vr games. If you are excited to play and learn, then without further ado, I give you the best boxing games of all time.
Knockout League
This game is fun with all kinds of crazy characters. It is more fun to see them in the first person as you stun them with your punch. Wear your Oculus Quest VR headset and prepare for sweaty combat because this game offers hours of muscle movements that will make you exhausted, but you will crave for more. Memorize your opponent’s moves and time your dodge perfectly to make them pay for hitting you. All those wacky characters make you want to punch them just to see their reactions. It’s because of these funny bizarre moments that makes me keep coming back for more.Some are serious hunks, while others are flashy with their costumes, and some even taunt you with their egoistic moves. It’s more like battling with a boss rather than fighting with characters as you memorize their every move and counter their attacks. If you want to polish your skills, then go to the back alley and punch balloons, or you can practice your punches on the training ground with speed bags, heavy bags, and practice rings.A boxing game with a different take makes this game feel fresh. On top of that, you will have your workout while having fun.
Fight Night Champion
Immerse into the realistic action game with its brutal combat and slow-motion replay. Fight Night Champion focuses on realistic graphics and facial expressions to let players feel the weight of every punch they land on the opponent’s face. You can feel the pain on the player’s face as they endure the blood painted on their face and streaming down to their chest. The game does its work perfectly when it comes to showing details like gloves imprint or the place of impact. The brutality and players with swollen faces are just the right amounts of features needed in story mode. It adds a personal touch and a more human side to the story as you and your opponent hide their pain to look tough from the outside. The story plays out like a boxing movie, and there is drama and conflict outside the boxing ring that makes the game more personal. With advanced controls, brutal visuals, and interesting story elements, you got yourself an intense boxing experience.
Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions
What happens when you mix Tekken voice intro and Street fighter game mechanics? I present to you Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions. It’s a glorious arcade boxing with flashy jabs, hooks, and uppercuts. It might sound a bit stale, but the mechanics are so well executed that each landing punch feels exciting.The game takes a more approach to arcade-style gameplay. You also have dialogues going on with your favorite superstar from the movie Rocky. Controls are easy to pick up and execute, and challenges become more difficult as you progress throughout the game. All in all, it’s a casual game that you can pick up anytime and play your heart’s content.
The Thrill of the fight
A more realistic approach to virtual reality boxing, Thrill of the fight looks and feels realistic in many ways. It’s more of a boxing simulation than a game. Every punch feels real, and characters make your challenge to the edge of your endurance. Successfully dodging punches and countering your opponents gives you a sweet sense of satisfaction.If you’re not into working out, then you might get tired after two or three rounds, but that won’t stop your opponent from punching you till you get defeated. Having enough stamina is what determines the victory, but don’t worry if you get tired quickly. You will soon catch the pace of the game. The Thrill of the fight is one of the best simulations of boxing, and if you ever wanted to do boxing and haven’t got enough encouragement, this game will spark the desire once again. Just know that it’s unforgiving, so better be prepared with your stamina because you will need a lot to rise up to victory. A piece of advice is to practice with a speed bag, a heavy bag, and with a coach before jumping into the ring. I underestimated this game and jumped right into the action. After the second round, I was sweating profusely and drying out from inside, so I had to stop the game to hydrate myself. If you are up for a challenge and for fitness, buy and play this boxing simulation game.
Punch-Out!! (Wii)
I remember playing Punch-Out late at night on my NES game console. It was simple, and I learned to punch and dodge after a couple of tries. Watching my opponent fall down after executing my killer ultimate always made me jump with joy. And then, Nintendo released Punch-Out on Wii in 2009 with all the colorful characters I used to punch. I was hyped with excitement because not only can I fight with my old opponents, but I could see them in a vibrant 3d world. All that nostalgia began flowing in as I played Punch-Out Wii and punched my old friend from the NES era. It was like I found my long-lost friend all grown up and matured. A pleasant gift from Nintendo to all the NES players of the past. For you all boxing players, this game might not spark memories in you, but it certainly provides hours of entertainment with colorful and adorable characters.
