Ring Fit Adventure Review Thread

I'm not taking anything away from this. It looks good. I was just arguing that some day someone will make a full motion game that will win GotY awards. I think the tech is still too limited to reach those heights but not for long. Next gen looks to have wireless VR and new motion controllers. We might just see a VR full body game get GotY next gen.
Im gonna be likely pairing it with other home exercises and my regular dieting weekly so yall will hear from me in the OT
From all accounts, only Ring and a disembodied female voice (Tipp, I guess) talk. Everything else just grunts like they're in a Zelda game.
Is she playing on extreme mode, too? Her rep count seems high. I'd rather run a marathon, I think. 😄
That wouldve been a great cross-over but Im beyond excited to play this later
Really did not expect these high scores for a fit game. Although it looks like Nintendo's best attempt at a healthy game since Wii Fit. Really fun to blend in the exercises with the game world. Pre-ordered this after I saw the first trailer. Really curious to see what it's like this weekend!
Had a quick look at the twitch stream. I'm sure people will find ways to cheese it, but at face value it looks pretty hard work (in a good way).
Doing a few reps of different things would stop people getting bored.

I was fucking parched yesterday after 30 minutes of it on the third out of four intensity levels. Had to take a shower after but I had no problems sleeping last night.
That's the time it took me to complete the first 3 stages, looking forward to continuing the adventure for sure.

This game is fun so far. I only did the first two levels, since I didn't want to have to shower again tonight, but it felt like a decent workout. Hopefully it will keep me motivated.
I was a bit worried about the durability of the ring, but this thing is solid. Feels like a metal ring encased in rubber. Only problem so far is the strap keeps wanting to slide down to my knee. Took me a bit to finally get it to stay put on my fat thighs.
If anyone is worried about having to jog in place (maybe you have bad knees or have people living below you), there's a "Silent Mode" where you do squats instead of running.

If you're cheating in a game like this, you're just wasting your own money and time lol
Looks good.... I've started doing exercise - cardio mainly - again after a time not doing any, and this looks like a good way to mix it up.
Shame it's so expensive, I'll wait till the holidays to see if it goes down in price (and to see if I maintain my exercise goals).

I bought it and did the first level today. I've been suffering from lyme disease for the last year, so I've been laid up the last year in bed, not being able to walk. I recently regained the ability to walk after months and decided to grab this as exercise. Despite not being able to do the more intense stuff (the squats were almost impossible in my current state), this is a great game for me to play a level or 2 a day to regain my strength. Really awesome.
Didnt know about this but the 8-4 guys were taking about this and now I want to buy it. seems good.
It definitely gives you a work out! It's really surprised me. The boss battles hurt. And aside from the Joycon gyro losing calibration constantly, it's incredibly well designed with so many clever touches to make you work harder.
But I wish it wasn't so heavy on the adventure stuff, I just want to get the exercise, not watch a kids cartoon. Just too much Nintendo nonsense in it for my liking which often ruins the pacing when you just want to get exercise and stay in the zone, but on the flipside because it's set up with traditional game progression with level up and bosses etc, it does make you want to work hard to get to the next stages etc
If you just wanted to do the workouts, can't you just set those up in a separate mode?
I think you're missing my point. I like the concept of the adventure mode and the progression etc from stage to stage. It's just all the talking and cut scene nonsense that's annoying.
I think these cutscenes are very cleverly placed to give the player a short break, they're rarely more than 30 seconds long anyway.. (I'm in world 6).. if you find youself don't need that break then you probably want to set the difficulty higher..
I'm not at far as you so if the pacing gets better then that's great news.
I definitely need a break, just not as long as some of the gaps. Btw I'm on Intense difficulty, not the highest.
yeah..I do think the pacing get better..the opening chapters had some of the longest cut scenes..
I thought these numbers are updated automatically, I guess not. or maybe there is a bug somewhere (?) I looked out of curiosity and both MC and OC are presently at 81, not 78/77!
