Sporting graphics that wouldn’t be out of place in the 32-bit era, Punch Club shines in its blend of simulation and gameplay elements.
In Punch Club, that’s a completely different case.īased upon three main categories, agility, stamina, and strength, Punch Club also has life simulation elements such as the need for the boxing trainee to have a job and to pay for his training.
