    Unfortunately the gameplay isn't great, but the big problem is the bugs and glitches. It has some good things but the game can be boring at times. It's not a bad boxing game, but it isn't that good.

    As one of the first to pick the game up, I wasn't too impressed. The graphics are decent, and the fight quality fun. After surpassing area 3 on campaign, it's a lot more fun and open with all abilities. Quite in-depth. There's a massive problem though. Upon hitting area 11, progression stops because you can only get stars from glitches battles which don't have opponents, or online battles.As one of the first to pick the game up, I wasn't too impressed.

Upon hitting area 11, progression stops because you can only get stars from glitches battles which don't have opponents, or online battles. There are no players online, and some of the "Boxing Nights" are glitched without opponents. It prevents you from getting anymore trophies and is very annoying. Please fix this!… Expand

    The sheer lack of fighting games on the Switch, let alone games representing boxing specifically, certainly opens the door to opportunity for developers determined to give it a shot.

While Real Boxing 2 does a decent job of getting some of the basics down, delivering the jabs, wraps, and uppercuts you’d expect in a boxer (complete with a little room for flair as well) it also struggles a bit in some key areas, keeping it from being a go-to game even with a lack of competition in the space. The main issue, overall, is that everything feels unpolished and rough. The controls take some getting used to, especially since they generally feel overly complicated using both joysticks as well as some face buttons to deliver punches, but it is easy for this to end up feeling muddled when you’re in the thick of things. The mini games for training to get your fighter into better shape are also a bit of a mess, with one stand-out issue being indicators for buttons you’re supposed to quickly press using different colors at times, some of which makes them hard to read against the background of the environment. If you’re hard up for a boxer, with some effort you’ll probably get some enjoyment from it, but be warned it doesn’t feel like a real contender.

    Real Boxing 2 is everything wrong with mobile gaming, and while it's free of the microtransactions on Nintendo Switch, all that it has to offer is an endless parade of matches that display no personality. I'm no expert on boxing, but I know enough about the sport to know that boxing fans aren't going to find this satisfying on any level.

    Ultimately, Real Boxing 2’s gameplay falls way too short of the standard expected on a console like the Switch. Without the option to use the touch screen, attacking with the analogue stick feels clunky, with no weight behind the attacks. It makes the fights feel boring and a bit of a chore to get through. In addition, while the visuals look perfectly fine on smaller screens, pop your Switch into docked mode and it really highlights how janky some of the models and animations look.
