This ensures you get some lower bodywork in and also enhances the variety of the movements. If the collision detection was better, however, the scoring system less punitive, or maybe if I was just plain better at the game, this could easily score a 9 here. Definitely check them out if you like the game and want to participate in some fun weekly challenges.

Some issues I've encountered so far: The calorie counter is way off. In a 30min + song, every perfect strike should feel rewarding, not blow my screen up with shiny particles and halo's that get in my vision and throw me off my game. BoxVR always played pretty well, but one common complaint I saw for the game time and again (and experienced myself) was players missing side-jabs and uppercuts. i wonder if they could think about releasing the old off line version as a sideload app, seeing as side load apparently is going to become an officially supported source at some point. A quick Google search seems to show that it is an update for boxvr on quest only. I’m not sure whether this is a glitch due to bad collision detection, or an incredibly strict targeting system that demands precisely accurate hits, either way, it sucks. What makes it worse is that many times my hit streak is reset not because I didn’t hit hard enough, but that for some reason the orbs just go straight through my gloves. As I did in my playtest you can further increase the stress on your quads by wearing a weighted vest. Im talking 1hr+ every single day for the last ~30 days without fail. There are also several DLC packs available to purchase that add new workouts and some additional music.

They are the reason that you (hopefully) don’t topple over when you throw a wild swinging hook.

Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. There’s a lot of workouts here varying from short, under 10 minutes, medium, under 30 and long, up to an hour. There's no way you can get the right kind of power doing 14 uppercuts in a row. Some people might get bored playing in the game’s one single environment over and over, but I suspect the FitXR developers will be adding more soon. The initial high while you top the leaderboard is fun and rewarding but once you’re out of gas, it just feels bad. Every time I played BOXVR I would always be praying that an update would come down that would offer a range of environments to mix it up a bit. When the entire goal is to punch hard and build up a nice streak, the awkward angles and/or a slightly mistimed (I swear its the game as much as me) punch results in a streak broken feels pretty bad.

When compared to BoxVR, FitXR represents both a small step forward and a step back as regards multiplayer. Yeah the streaks aren’t as rewarding anymore. I really enjoyed BoxVR. To me, this is sort of like paying for a Sonic the Hedgehog game and then one day turning it on to find that it's been replaced with Super Mario; this does make me cautious about buying digital stuff even more so than before :(. I think there's a simple answer to the streak issue -- give two kinds of streaks. I'd like to be able to go back to the workouts I did every day for almost a year. This means you won’t hear any current chart-toppers or iconic rock anthems, but the song selection here is nonetheless well put together and matches the workouts well. Adding complexity/extra mechanics feels like it may be threatening the feel good factor a little. Whereas I found BoxVR was great for long sustained cardio sessions, a FitXR workout can give me noodle arms in well under half an hour. We’re always open to new suggestions and as we develop the game further, we’re planning to reach out to our users to find out what they're interested in seeing in the game. It doesn’t try to be anything more than this, and there are no gameplay gimmicks to make you think you’re doing anything other than fitness boxing.

If you’re a young pup with a ton of energy then you’ll likely love this tougher, more aggressive approach, but if you’re older, overweight, and out of shape then expect this game to make you very aware of that and give you constant reminders of punch failures and having your hit streak reset. FitXR, from the developers of the same name, is the newly rejuvenated and re-inspired version of the perennial VR fitness favorite BoxVR. If you can overlook FitXR’s scoring demands, or maybe you even relish that challenge then FitXR is without a doubt one of the best complete full-body workouts you can get in VR today. The game could definitely do with some additional environments to maintain variety. That’s essentially all there is to the gameplay, but fortunately punching objects to a musical beat is inherently satisfying and physically demanding, both highly desirable qualities to have in a fitness title. I liked the playlists and stuff I created and enjoyed the environments and I would have happily purchased FitXR as a new workout game even if it would no longer be supported with updates after X amount of time. For those unfamiliar, BoxVR is essentially a pure fitness cardio boxing game where the sole gameplay is based around punching pink and blue targets, blocking, and avoiding barriers by either squatting or dodging left or right.
