Undisputed

Boxing was left without serious games for a long time, and the Undisputed from the Steel City Interactive studio solved this problem. The project went through early access and reached a full release, and its main advantage is the license: the roster includes more than seventy real boxers, including Tyson Fury, Alexander Usik, Canelo, Terence Crawford, Sugar Ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali and Katie Taylor. The women's division is not an addition here, but a full-fledged part of the game. The fight is built around footwork and distance. There are more than sixty separate blows at your disposal, and the mechanics of movement allow you to shift in your stance and reach the desired angle. Cheating moves set up your opponent to make the wrong decision, and then the window opens for a counterattack, which often decides the outcome of the round. A career begins with an established fighter and leads him from amateur matches to the eWBC world title. Talent alone is not enough: you need to hire a trainer, cutman, nutritionist and manager, choose a gym to suit your style, monitor recovery and prepare a battle plan on time. Different strategies work against different opponents, and there is no universal recipe. In addition to the career, there are network meetings and fights with friends, where the rules are the same as in the ring: distance, timing and the ability to avoid a blow in time decide more than pure strength. The presentation of the fights is impressive - exits with announcements, lighting, judges and analysis of controversial episodes. Due to the demanding nature of the simulation, the first matches are almost always lost, but then you get an understanding of how a particular opponent works. The simulation turned out to be demanding: missing hits here is painful, and stamina is spent quickly. The Undisputed is the case when you have to think with your head to win, and not just quickly press buttons.
