❤ Authentic Boxing Simulation

Players with actual boxing experience consistently praise the game for its accurate representation of the sport. Reviewers note that the punching motions, impact of strikes, and overall physicality closely mirror real-world boxing. One player states, "The punching mechanics here seem very right. I can throw that jab out there and use it to set up my right, throw combinations, counterpunch, all of it."

❤ Challenging Yet Rewarding Gameplay

The game demands physical exertion and skill from players, requiring proper form, timing, and strategy to succeed against the AI opponents. One reviewer describes the challenge, "I am just cruising here, picking him apart, I think! But he cracks me a few times (you get a white flash and vision blurs) and I realize I have to really watch my guard." However, players find a deep sense of satisfaction in progressively improving and overcoming increasingly difficult fights, with one noting, "If you're not on the floor sweating like a pig by the end you're doing it wrong."

❤ Immersive Virtual Environment

Reviewers highlight the game's ability to draw players into the experience through its virtual environment. One player states, "I felt like if I had spoken to him, he would have answered me. As I said, the screenshots don't do it justice. The Thrill of the Fight has the vibe that you find in a real boxing gym."

❤ Effective Workout and Fitness Benefits

Players consistently report the game providing an intense, full-body workout, with numerous reviews describing the experience as extremely sweaty and physically demanding. A 52-year-old player remarks, "This high intensity interval training experience has totally changed my body. I'm more fit now than I was 20 years ago, 100% thanks to this game."

❤ Customization and Progression

While the core gameplay loop involves facing off against AI opponents, reviewers appreciate the level of customization and progression available. One player explains, "The ability to adjust the difficulty, opponent attributes, and other settings allows players to tailor the experience to their skill level and preferences."
