I would be interested to see how the experience is because that would be amazing when I take switch on my travels.
This is where I'm at. I felt fine the whole time. The exercises weren't too strenuous, but today I picked up my kid and my back started killing me. It acts up now and then but it's been a while. I need more exercise...My back hurts, I don't know if this means I should go on or that I did something wrong with the way I moved though
My left thigh is killing me.So who woke up sore today from ring fit adventure? I played an hour and a half yesterday and I was sure my legs would be on fire today from all the squats and chair pose stuff, but I only slightly feel it. I dont feel any soreness from the arm stuff either.
What I didnt expect was my butt to be sore (ever since I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago I basically have no butt) so the knee lift stuff while it didnt give me trouble to do the action, it felt like I was sitting on my bones. Im defininitely going to need to get a mat for some kind of cusion for those kinds of exercises.
True. It should have a fast progress option that would skip most of these explanations and screens like when the game tells you to do abs guard.This game is incredible. My only problem is the delay to skip text. It is jarring that I have to wait a second every time text pops up (starting from after I read the message to when the game will allow me to progress). I know that is super minor, but I still find it obnoxious.

This is about double what I did
I might tone it down it was insanely hard

I haven't exercised in like 4-5 years so even half of that was freaking hectic for me, I'm going to persist with it, I really need this.
I played through to level 4, just after the Drageaux fight. I am impressed. It works shockingly well and may be one of my favorites if not my favorite game this year. I always appreciate movement in games and this one is really thoughtful and well designed. Playing at difficulty 19 currently. It's a decent challenge. I'd like "random" to always be the default selection in battle, is there an option for that?
Compared to WiiFit or other exercise-focused movement games this is in another league. Haven't worked up this much of a sweat playing video games since expert mode DDR. And Ring Fit has the advantage of exercising muscle groups, not being exclusively cardio. It's really impressive.
My only major complaint is the Switch hardware itself. The right joycon has de-synced when raising the ring above my head several times in only an hour. I can see this becoming very frustrating over the lifespan of the game. I'm standing 4-6 feet from the Switch. I don't understand how the joycon are so terrible.
I vouch for those with sore muscles to get a rumble roller, used the blue one and upgraded to the black one and have been using it for a year and a half. It works really well with relaxing my muscles in my calves and working out the kinks in my back. Wonderful to use after work, I use it in conjunction with Ring Fit to give myself a warm up and tension release on my muscles before jumping in. Helps me with not straining my muscles too much while doing the work outs.For people that are finding themselves sore today, I recommend getting a 3ft high-density foam roller and a lacrosse ball to work on those sore muscles. After a couple of minutes work with them, you'll be feeling much better.
It's interesting to see how this is hitting everyone differently. My calves are killing me today - especially after the second area with lots of knee lifts through mud and sprinting up treadmills. I can do squats for days, but the chair pose has been the most difficult of the basic exercises for me by far.
This is what I'm most curious about. Does it feel like the game will be engaging over a long period of time, enough to work as a long-term exercising tool?
I think it's a pretty big misstep to not launch the Ring Con with more than one game.If there was a way to extend the play of this it would amazing

Your body is worth more than 80$I really want to try it, but can't justify it when it's like $80. I'll definitely grab it sometime when it's on sale because it seems really cool!
Seriously it's for health lol. I never give a shit about price when it comes to health.
Alright fam, y'all convinced me I ordered it. Time to go from chunky to shredded.
That's where I'm at, once you finish the adventure, then what?
YAS!
Top 10 in all my 1981 categories so far.
Also kudos to all of you other 141 people of my age for playing the game. We are old!
I love this.
Probably Miyamoto
Yep! I discuss it here. It works but isn't greatCan this be played using Switch on Tabletop Mode? I'm sure it *technically* works, but is it an enjoyable experience? Wii Fit was a lot better on TV than on the GamePad.
