Reception[]

Fighter Within was panned by critics, and holds a Metacritic score of 23 out of 100, and is ranked as the second lowest-scoring Xbox One game as of September 2019. It became notable for its negative reception.[4] The Kinect controls were universally criticized, with several reviews suggesting problems were just as prevalent as the Kinect for Xbox 360. Game Informer gave the game a 1 out of 10, saying "Fighter Within is garbage."[7][9] GameZone's Mike Splechta gave Fighter Within a 2.5/10, stating "Fighter Within really showcases the larger problem with Kinect only games: they just don't work."[10] IGN gave the game a 2.7 out of 10, saying that Fighter Within was only able to adequately detect basic punches, describing the game as a "disjointed", "haphazard mess" due to its unpredictable motion detection, and considered its storyline to be "laughably bad" and a "flimsy excuse" to "fight [against] a long stream of AI opponents who look just as dumb as they fight."[11] GameSpot, who gave Fighter Within a 2 out of 10, described its gameplay as requiring players to "stand like a lemon in front of the TV for what seems like an eternity as you feel your life ebb away during the excruciatingly long loading times; punch at thin air as fast as humanly possible until you trigger a combo; watch the lifeless combo animation; repeat these steps until your opponent is defeated."[12]
