WithTraverse grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, the Ring-Con™ and Leg Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into in-game movements. With additional minigames and customizable workout routines, Ring Fit Adventure is great escape for players of all skill levels and schedules. In Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on real-world exercises as you traverse more than 100 levels in over 20 worlds. As you work through each level (and possibly work up a sweat), you’ll earn experience points. Between fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation such as squat-powered launch pads. Then, pass around the Ring-Con and leg strap accessories and select from a few minigames: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using squats, and more.… Expand

    Thoroughbred RPG in which you fight by exercising and which forces you to train regularly. Great idea and realization. [Issue#301]

    Fitness games are often judged on whether they make you forget you are exercising, but if you forget, you’re probably doing it wrong. What Ring Fit Adventure succeeds in, is making that exercise consistently enjoyable yet still effective.

    Ring Fit Adventure builds on the legacy of Wii Fit in important ways, not only pushing the limits of what a workout game can be but also repositioning its message around fitness in a much healthier and constructive way. Fitness isn't a steady, consistent journey for most people; it's full of tiny improvements and setbacks and obstacles that get in your way, much like one's progress in an RPG. Because of this, Ring Fit Adventure works perfectly both as a concept and in practice. The sheer volume of content along with new abilities, items, and difficulty levels keeps progression interesting through the entire campaign and beyond. With consistently engaging gameplay, gorgeous landscapes, and a relentlessly positive attitude, Ring Fit Adventure has set a new standard for fitness games, and I look forward to another year of growing stronger with it--and eventually beating that absurdly buff dragon.

    Ring Fit Adventure is a fun way to regain the shape. It’s colourful, it has a lot of exercises and the Joy-Cons work flawlessly. It’s perfect for the novice, but it can't be bringed it on the upper level, without a trainer that shapes our fitness program and an integration with the main fitness apps.

    Ring Fit Adventure is the perfect gamification of exercise, but above all, it offers a fun experience.

    I also really appreciated the fact that there’s a mini-games menu outside of the main quest which offers a more Wii Fit-like experience, allowing you to hand the Ring Con to friends test your skills against them.

    The core mission of Ring Fit Adventure is to make you forget that you’re exercising, and I think it’s only partially successful at that.

    To start, I absolutely love this game with a passion. I've trained for 5 days in a row and I don't think I'll be stopping any time soon. ThisTo start, I absolutely love this game with a passion. I've trained for 5 days in a row and I don't think I'll be stopping any time soon. This is the first Nintendo Switch game I've really gotten drawn into (minus Tetris) and I actually enjoy waking up to fight and sweat my way through the adventure mode! It is pretty defeating when you try your very best and lose a boss fight though, but it only makes me want to do better tomorrow.
    To put into perspective, I am an out of shape 23 year old female, and while I don't go out of my way to work out at the gym, I do work in replenishment which involves a lot of walking, climbing up ladders, and lifting. However, despite me always saying "work is basically a gym," it really isn't when you think about reps and targeting muscles.
    With this game and work though, I think I have a good chance of getting more in shape and working on myself the way I've been meaning to.
    The ring was an amazing idea to target muscles in the chest and arms. It gives great resistance and really works out your muscles. I think my only complaint with the devices is that the leg strap is always sliding off, and the only way I've found to combat that is to put it on my bare leg.
    All and all, very challenging and very rewarding game, it's a bit of a high price point at $80, but you get the tools you need to be motivated to work out, basically a coach. This is the best game Nintendo has released for Switch yet!    … Expand

I've seen the comparison to Wii Fit but this leaps and bounds better. There is actual motivation to keep working out and come back for more. The beginning is a bit slow and repetitive but it starts hit its strides after an hour and a half. Very fun gameplay. I'm excited to see what else this game brings.… Expand
