I feel tricked.

People hyping this game up in the comments saying its the "most realistic" convinced me to try this after TOTF2 was a flop. This is not as accurate or as quality as Og TOTF. It feels corny and laggy, Save your money, buy Thrill Of The Fight. I'm attempting to get a refund, after only 10m of gameplay i was let down. **update** i apparently cannot get a refund for this terrible game because of reasons not even relevant to me. Says i played over 2hrs (i did not) or that i had the game over 14 days (i did not). My statements made of the game need no clarification, the issues mentioned are obvious. I WAS tricked out of $25.00, if i could give negative stars i would.

Feedback After Playing Golden Gloves on

I think Golden Gloves is an amazing game — it’s such a fun and engaging way to stay active, especially when the targets rush toward you and you have to react quickly with punches. The game has a ton of potential. That said, I do have one complaint. Over time, the highest speed setting starts to feel too slow. I believe this is because the target patterns become repetitive very quickly. The game could really benefit from more variety and challenge. Here are a few ideas that I think could improve the experience: • Introduce new mechanics or a faster training mode with increased speed. • Add more diverse target patterns to keep players on their toes. • Implement different punching techniques or target types. • Include more feedback for mistakes — for example, a visual or audio cue when you miss a target or hit it with the wrong hand, rather than just losing a life. • When the pole comes at you and you’re supposed to duck, a clearer “fail” animation or cue could help players understand they messed up, making it feel more responsive and immersive. These changes could really enhance both the challenge and the replayability of the game. Thanks for creating such a fun and promising experience!

Best boxing training VR game

I used to box in the amatuer when I was younger and this is the most true to life VR boxing game we have today. I also own Thrill of the Fight 2 and it's a good boxing game also but the training isn't as realistic and the fights are a bit too demanding, but in Golden Gloves the gym and equipments are very accurate in it's physics even down to the speed bag, and finally they have mitts training, which is one of the most important things to make you a good boxer and teach you combos and movement. The fighting is also good since you don't have to exert yourself like Thrill of the fight, it's demanding but not as much as the aforementioned. Get this game if you want to train boxing

By boxers, for boxers

The devs clearly know boxing, and it shows. The gym equipment physics feel nearly 1:1 with the real thing. Multiplayer can be tricky due to latency (usually Wi-Fi related), but the gym training and minigames are where this game really shines. Worth it for that alone. Can’t wait to see what this game brings!
