Creed: Rise to Glory Review - My body hurts and I love it

Relive the best parts of the movie, using your own body.

Everything hurts this morning. My arms are heavy, my sides are sore, and my feet aren't particularly happy with me. I feel it when I twist, I feel it when I sit still, and I absolutely feel it as I pick my Oculus Touch controllers back up to jump back into the game that did this to me.

This isn't the first time a VR game has left me feeling this way. In fact, when I see the name Survios flash before me in my headset, I already know I'm going to feel it the next day. The latest title from Survios is its first game featuring a story and characters it didn't create internally. Instead, you're stepping into the body of Adonis "Hollywood" Creed as he fights his way through the plot points of the first Creed movie. But like any good VR game, your success depends on your ability to successfully land an actual punch with your actual arm instead of how quickly you can press the right button on a controller.

I've sweat my way through dozens of fights on multiple platforms, and can safely say there's very little chance I'm going to be putting this game down any time soon. No matter how sore I am the next day.

About this Review

I'm writing this review after playing through the entire "Campaign" mode on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR, but online gameplay only on Oculus Rift. My total gameplay time as of this writing is 11 hours.
