Jul 19, 2016While Fru might not be as long as you would like, it’s still a phenomenal experience which every Kinect owner should purchase.
-
Jul 12, 2016If you have a Kinect, you owe it to yourself to buy FRU.
-
Jul 26, 2016This is one of the few must buys for the year for anyone who owns a Kinect, and it is truly the first game to make me care about the technology.
-
Aug 1, 2016FRU delivers the game that the Kinect needs to remain as a viable device. The clever set of mechanics that are on offer means that if you have a Kinect currently gathering dust, you owe it a game of FRU.
-
Jul 22, 2016FRU is a great puzzle platformer and the best use of Kinect to date. Unique controls, fun gameplay and challenging puzzles make this essential for any Kinect owner.
-
Jul 22, 2016The graphics of FRU are gorgeous, with no visible issues with the silhouette on screen causing any difficulty moving between the two worlds.
-
Jul 21, 2016FRU absolutely delighted me with its ingenuity and elegance. It has gone on to become not only a surprisingly enjoyable indie gem, but one of my absolute favorite exclusives for the Xbox One, and one of my favorites of all time.
-
Jul 13, 2016Even if FRU ends up being one of the last Kinect games made, it ensures that the peripheral will be going out with quite a huge bang indeed.
-
Jul 12, 2016Kinect has been an unlucky device. Fru is a real masterpiece, a brilliant game everyone should try and share. Through Games delivers Kinect's Killer App: too bad they are few years late.
-
Jul 12, 2016After two years of silence FRU is finally here, and it stands as a demonstration of what Kinect could have done for games, and sadly never would at this point.
-
Aug 8, 2016Fru is the first killer app for Kinect 2.0 and can use the Kinect better than anyone until now. A brilliant game that not all the players can appreciate, but that everyone should try.
-
Jul 25, 2016A Kinect game released in 2016 that's actually worth digging out your Kinect for.
-
Jul 25, 2016This game uses Kinect as it was meant to be used: it is technically amazing, and it takes you to another world in which not your brain, but also your body plays a big part. The game is funny, the puzzles are smart and that makes the shortness of it a bit of a let-down, in a positive way though.
-
Jul 17, 2016FRU is, together with Fantasia: Music Evolved, the best game for Kinect on Xbox One. It's fresh, original and fun, so if you're slightly interested in Kinect, you shouldn't miss it.
-
Jul 12, 2016An excellent showcase of what kinect must have done but never achieved. Fru could last longer or be more challenging, but it's an excellent experience as it is.
-
Jul 12, 2016Short yet very intense, FRU is the best reason you should reconnect Kinect to your Xbox One.
-
Jul 27, 2016At this point even a game like FRU is highly unlikely to make anyone rush out and by a Kinect camera. But any existing owners still interested in the possibilities of Microsoft’s sensor bar would do very well to give this refreshingly inventive little indie a shot.
-
Jul 27, 2016If you're a fan of Kinect, there's no reason why this game shouldn't be in your collection because FRU is a game that is testament to what could be achieved with Microsoft's peripheral.
-
Jul 16, 2016FRU definitely is one of the best and more innovative games for Kinect, entertaining both alone and with friends. If you've got a Kinect connected to your Xbox One, this is a must buy.
-
Jul 14, 2016Fru is so much fun that will convince you to dust off your Kinect, and will make you sweat to complete the adventure.
-
Jul 13, 2016The best Kinect-only game ever, and if nothing else that proves that an inspired developer can make a great game with even the most unpromising of hardware.
-
Aug 24, 2016One of the best Kinect games ever released. [Issue#177, p.85]
-
Jul 19, 2016While FRU is guilty of both a very short length and several frustrating moments, it still ends up being one of the most clever and successful uses of the Kinect around.
-
Jul 12, 2016It’s sad that Fru came out so long after the Kinect was a viable gaming peripheral. Had it released closer to the Xbox One’s launch, we might’ve been able to laud it as a reason to own a Kinect. As is, it’s a solid little puzzle-platformer that might be worth a look if you haven’t packed your Kinect away—assuming you ever got one in the first place.
