    This is a very impressive step for Nintendo and they did it again with a genius concept. I worked out for only 30 minutes and I had a good sweat going.

The most impressive thing to me is how well the motion controls work for all the exercises and the built in progression of the game that adds new exercises and will make you mix up your exercises for various side quests. Even if you fall into a rut of doing the same exercises over and over, the game will make you use certain ones to progress through levels so your workout can't get too stale. This is hands down the best fitness game yet. Can't recommend it enough if you are looking for a good at home full body workout. Expand

    This game is very good

    So good in fact, that the amount of fun I have while playing is the greatest flaw of it. This may seem confusing, but it's because within 2 days of playing, I've entered a weird state where my brain wants to play and keep making progress due to addictive RPG elements. While my brain is telling me to sneak in more play time, the muscles of my body are screaming at me

While my brain is telling me to sneak in more play time, the muscles of my body are screaming at me that o physically cannot continue and have to stop for the day. The difficulty is on a scale from one to one hundred and if you have a hard time being motivated to work out I would recommend it to you.

    I was very apprehensive to buying this game thinking of it as 60% a meme and 40% actual interest, but I love it.would buy again.

    Starting off, the game kicked my ass. After the first session I was sweating like crazy and heaving. I have since lowered the difficulty and I am having far more fun and still getting a good work out, but anybody who is afraid that they won't be challenged, has nothing to worry about. I'm a relatively active 21 year old to put that into perspective.

    The exercise aspect is amazing, it is

    The exercise aspect is amazing, it is very conscious of promoting healthy exercise habits for the long term. The only thing barring it from a 10 is that it isn't a gaming masterpiece, this isn't ocarina of time with a ring-con, it is a standard/generic RPG which serves to distract you from the fact you are doing exercise, and it serves that purpose perfectly. Completely recommend it to anyone who feels they need an injection of fitness into their lifestyle.

    I hope they do a few gimmicky things like they did with Labo and let you use the ring-con as a Mario-kart wheel, or a bow in Zelda, but the price is right as is. Happy adventuring!

    Nintendo keeps innovating ! The ring is high quality, the game is fun!

    The game is very well weighted between adventure, sport and awards and make you really sweat if you want. Whatever age and endurance you have, the game adapts to you! Adventure mechanics work like in Pokemon: you choose your attacks set (6 attacks) and, when you fight monsters, you select an attack

Immersion quite perfect with a big TV (mine is 55) ! xD So fun! After 30 minutes of workout every day, I feel great! That‘s the most crazy RPG I played! :D Also, mini games are simple, very funny with various levels... not so easy so want to retry and get better world ranking score! Finally others exercises and program permit to train your training ... Lol

    If a year ago, you had told me I would be reviewing a fitness game, I would never have believed you. But here I am...I am not into fitness, and I am usually lazy, but this game really helped me get back into it. What I find engaging is:
    - You unlock skills as you progress, allowing you to change the exercises from time to time
    - The game tries every session to work out a different part
    If a year ago, you had told me I would be reviewing a fitness game, I would never have believed you. But here I am...I am not into fitness, and I am usually lazy, but this game really helped me get back into it. What I find engaging is:
    - You unlock skills as you progress, allowing you to change the exercises from time to time
    - The game tries every session to work out a different part of the body without you realizing (for instance, by changing the color of the enemies, which respond to a different type of attacks)
    - It's good at giving some gratification messages and trophies
    - Minigames are silly but somehow funny. It's like going to a theme park and playing all those machines to see who does better
    - The sensors work really well. Probably the best use of the Joy-Cons I have seen so far. If the game tells you to lie down on the floor, and you don't have your leg perfectly straight, it notices you.
    - While you're doing an exercise, the game gives you some tips and 'don't do this', precisely at the moment you are starting to do the exercise wrongly.
    -It gives you advice and some interesting fun facts along the way

    Please note that my grade is considering that this is a fitness game. It achieves its mission in an engaging manner. I am not saying this is a masterpiece, but so far I don't regret.

    If I were very picky, I would complain about having too many screen interruptions or useless dialogues, but I have noticed their frequency has decreased as I progress through the game.

    Just great. The ring-con works perfectly and its pretty tough. The main game, mini games and exercise routines are just great and make you forget that you are doing exercice. It really makes you tired! If you dont do the exercice correctly, it gives you less point so you know when you are doing it right.

Plus, the option to do which workout sets makes it a great way to do a quick workout if you’re in a rush. The gameplay makes you feel motivated and the feedback is satisfying. Looking forward to seeing how this plays long term!

    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.

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!

By far, this game is the hardest soul-clone I encountered, and just for reference I never encountered any real challenges with the soul series and its clones. I'm a quick learner with pro-gamer reaction time who can beat 90% of the bosses and mobs in one or two tries, but not fit-soul. Fit-soul broke me, it destroyed my self-esteem and body just like a good soul game should have done.

The game's balance is hilariously broken, requiring grinding for levels by level 4. It boggles my mind that this game has as high of a rating as it does, it seems to have never been updated, so hopes of a patch are null and void. The calorie counter is also broken, giving about 150 calories for a half hour workout, not even as much as you would burn walking for the same amount of time (200 approx) regardless of the sweat you have been pouring off. It also seems to have a pretty awful pulse read, saying after each level that judging by my pulse, it was a "Very Light" workout.

    Frankly, after losing a fight on the fourth level by a mile, (Literally didn't even get the enemies down to half health) and being forced to restart from the beginning, I'm convinced this game is the opposite of a hidden gem. A well known game with very undeserved reviews. Mandatory grinding is a terrible practice, and shows that you didn't put enough content in the game to last a decent amount of time, so you force players to replay what little is there. That means, in this case, redoing battles and environments repeatedly, just like going to a gym and using normal equipment, which is what I was trying to avoid with this game.

    As for other aspects, both the narrator's have very annoying voices, and the controls are under baked in the running section. They work perfectly during workout sections, but they just arent as fast or accurate as you'll want in the running sections.

    Most of this can be patched with an update, but considering my cartridge didn't require any updates when I popped it in, and there aren't any I can find, I'd say expecting long term support hee is unrealistic. Nintendo seems to have made a mediocre exercise program, then bolted on a half baked game. The only reason this didn't flop was COVID, especially at this price.

    Long story short, it's bad at tracking exercises, and it can't stand on its own, so it's a shoddy exercise program with a badly balanced RPG game bolted on. Stay away, clearance is where this game deserves to be, and even then, it's not great.

    So I'll admit that I'm still rather early on in the game (I think) but I'm finding this to be an actual game where the gameplay is physical. This isn't a game you can rush through, so I'm imagining it will take me time to really dive into. The game records actual time spent doing physical activity, and after about 20 minutes, I can really feel it. I'm definitely getting a workout.

    More importantly, it's fun. I want to be playing more. My physical limitations are what's limiting me, and that's fantastic. It means I'm driven to play more. And I love that.

    As to the $80 price tag? It makes sense to me. This is some impressive tech that makes good use of the system. It's peripherals that are well designed.

    If you think it can help you be more active and that's something you want? I'd say buy it. You're worth it.

    Bad. The Worst nintendo game. It was a big mistake. The adventure,sets, and minigames are terrible (except thigh rider)

    Brutal... cansa, haces ejercicio lo prometido y sobre todo, te atrae volber al dia siguiente. Nintendo si es lista (que lo es y mucho) deveria en 1 año u asi, sacar un Ring Fit 2 sin y con el aro para ampliar la historia y nuevos ejercicios y tendria una franquicia a lo Just Dance de Ubi pero util y no lo de bailar. Sinceramente sensacional el arico de Nintendo.

    The gameplay alone gets this game a 7. Sadly that's the only thing this game does well.

    I really wish they put some effort into making a story for this game. But they know they don't have to,

    Maybe for the first time in the history of this niche genre, Nintendo managed to produce a training game that actually encourages you to train. I played Ring Fit Adventure for a very long time before I completed it, and I didn't feel bored once.

    PROS:

    - FINALLY A TRAINING GAME THAT WORKS: While other training games (including Nintendo's own Fitness Boxing) rely on your own drive to be fit, this one manages to make you *want* to come back to the game and break a sweat.

    - ALWAYS MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD: This game doesn't judge you, it doesn't set lofty goals that you struggle to reach, and it doesn't use your guilty feelings against you. Its tone is consistently gentle, inclusive and encouraging.

    - ACTUALLY MAKES YOU WORK HARD: By letting you progress at your own pace, and giving you a lot of freedom in the exercises you select, Ring Fit Adventure removed my typical self-excuses for skipping training.

    CONS:

    - IT'S A GREAT TRAINING GAME, NOT A GREAT GAME: The gaming component of Ring Fit Adventure is adequate for a training game, but the challenges, story and the maps would feel a bit too repetitive and shallow if this were a regular game. Thankfully, it isn't.

    Compared to Wii Fit, Ring Fit Adventure is better in almost every way. The ring-con makes for a way more intense workout as does the adventure mode which really gives you a sense of progression and more reasons to keep at it.

The additional modes are great if you just want a quick workout without all the talky-talk. I love the leader boards that stack you up against friends and other anonymous users born in the same year. On the downside, the joy-con sometimes doesn't register movement accurately resulting in a failed rep or two (but it's rare). The environments are nice-looking but character designs often don't do it for me. The music, on the other hand, is really good and has a few real bangers! The dialogue is cute and often earns a chuckle but the Ring character's English voice can get grating. Outside of adventure mode, the interplay between the disembodied voice of the instructor and the faceless helper Tipp can be very charming. The rhythm game DLC was a nice addition but, after 100 exercise-hours, I would love some more content - bring it on, Nintendo! Expand

    I love the greetings and stretchings, the little sum ups and tips at the end, and how the game is helping you do the different exercises correctly. At the beginning the exercises are very repetitive but it's still fun and challenging to aim for a higher level to get more of them.
    Also the game helps you in a very 'natural' way to find the right difficulty settings and keeps track that you don't overwork yourself.

    The only critic I have is that after about 10 min of training, the game continuously asks me if I want to take a break. But taking a break actually means ending the game and do the final static stretching. This lead to a few misunderstandings at the beginning and it kinda frustrated me to end the game too soon - as I still wanted to continue my training a little longer (this wording is used in the German Version of the game).

And I am one of the many people who are not particularly sporty, it is exactly what we have been expecting for from fitness games for a long time. It is unreal how well does it motivate to do more squats than you'd think you can just so you can kill some monsters, I'd never do that in a gym. The only down side I can say is that some of the moves are badly designed, and you need to watch multiple youtube videos to understand how to do them correctly since the motion sensors don't help you enough or even misguide you. Many yoga moves being the worst offenders, doing them in smooth, correct motion will give you fewer points than yanky slow motion. I've played it for exactly a year now, lost weight and gained muscles (just a little bit, let's be honest), and am just now finishing the main story quest–I think. So one year averaging 4 times a week, it's well worth any money. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an awesome game! It has 23 worlds and many stages. You start the game and then fight dragaux after every world too. World 1 is fairly simple as it has 3 levels before the next world. It goes from easy but then you get to World 23. Dragaux has not seven, not eight, but nine health bars. A boss takes about 10 minutes and with good attacks from the skill tree you unlock at World 6 has good attacks as it should. I disagree with Tetris556 as the long-term adventure mode is an excellent source of exercise as within 10 days of playing gives me 13 km worth of exercise. The only problem is that the IR motion camera doesn't seem to record high heart rates, even on 30 difficulty. If this was fixed originally. I would give a 10. Expand

I do lot of home work-out so yeah I fill I do some work-out and I think moderate challenge is good enough for me. Turns out they throw 30x squats for me and that's not even enough to kill the monsters.

    Last, I think it's nice to have a dedicated menu to show the library of all your movement and some highlighted area which muscles that gain from certain movement as well as some explanation and preview of the movement. Currently, you can only see it when you play the campaign or quick session.

Be ready to sweat it out, always have a towel and water near you.

    I also like the implementation of UI here, you can navigate through the whole thing using the Ring alone. There are also a bunch of other mini-games to enjoy. Along with the calorie burned calculation there was also a blood pressure detector, not sure if its accurate but it definitely works.

    All the contraptions especially the Ring itself is really sturdy, it is a well made physical gear, and the joy con works with it perfectly.

    A must have for Nintendo Switch owners who also wants physical challenges to burn calories.

    I'm in my mid-40s and quit powerlifting about 15 years ago because of injuries. Since then, I can only really workout at home because if I go into a gym I'll try to lift again. Over the years, I've tried every type of home workout. Tried all the apps, all the equipment, the miles of walking. Nothing really ever fit me.

    I'm in my mid-40s and quit powerlifting about 15 years ago because of injuries. Since then, I can only really workout at home because if I go into a gym I'll try to lift again. Over the years, I've tried every type of home workout. Tried all the apps, all the equipment, the miles of walking. Nothing really ever fit me.

    I'd seen Ring Fit when it released, but I'd been on the fence. After watching YouTube videos and reading enough reviews, I went for it. And I'm so glad I did. I've now been consistent 3 days a week for 2 months. More than anything else I've tried in recent years.

    What the game does is a kind of sorcery. It makes you look forward to the workouts. When it asks if you want to take a break, you really want to go another level. I don't think I've really ever found another workout that's done that for me. You're sweating, breathing heavy and your thighs are burning. But you're enjoying it. It manages to make you kind of forget you're working. And all in your home with a ring and leg strap.

    I've dropped 2lb and 0,75% body fat. The belly is much less flabby, and I've started seeing definition in most of my muscles. I no longer get winded getting out of bed. Still a long way to go, but it's going to be a fun journey.

    So is it good? Yes.
    Is it effective? Definitely.
    Would I buy the Switch just for Ring fit? 100%. It's still less than I've wasted on apps and equipment that are now collecting dust.

    Disclaimer: I have also tried to eat healthier and less. I also supplement with resistance exercises between Ring Fit days. But I did that before Ring Fit, so I can definitely say that this has been the biggest driver of results.

    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.

    As someone who spent their entire life being extremely athletic and active, I love being back in the swing of things again. I actually look forward to my Ring Fit workout everyday. I feel like people of all fitness levels can hop into this game and benefit from it. When I started this back in January I was as out of shape as it comes, and Ring Fit Adventure eased me back into things at a pace that felt comfortable. The combination of walking, Ring Fit, and elliptical has shredded pounds off of me, and I couldn’t be happier about that!
