Review: The Liteboxer boxing machine has been around for some time now, but now you can play it on the Oculus Quest 1 & 2. This is a subscription-based boxing game, so the hope is more and more content will be added as time goes on, or at the very least more challenges for you to play. Sadly that is very much needed because this game is very much bare-bones. Using the free-trial I got to spare in the online classes and do a sparing session which was fun, but it is mostly the same thing (punching the virtual machine) over and over and over. Don’t get me wrong, the game looks good and is fun to play with some great haptic feedback, but it soon gets boring rather quickly and I am wondering how many people will still be playing it once their free subscription ends. Sadly for this game, there are far better workout apps like Les Mills that are much more worthy of your money.
