Creed: Rise to Glory
Based upon the great successor to the “Rocky” franchise, Creed: Rise to Glory provides an intense workout that will leave you sweating. The main appeal might be its in-depth single-player mode that allows players to move up the ranks, but there is also online multiplayer to check out as well so players can test their skills against other virtual boxers.
