I hate this game... It changed my life.

I should probably play this more, but for a fitness game, I was very impressed with how much “game” there actually is. The main gameplay has you jogging down a path, opening doors, jumping and when you encounter enemies, it’s like a turn based battle system, except you need to work out (sit ups, press ups, yoga poses, jumps) to cause damage.

This is spread across multiple chapters, where you’ll play through a cheesy (but entertaining) story across many levels, with some bonus mini games thrown in for good measure. The device itself also feels extremely sturdy, like a real piece of gym equipment which is surprisingly difficult to push or pull, giving you a proper work out.

More diverse and whole-body focused than Fitness Boxing 2, but at the same time less predictable. It tries to do everything, and does most of it okay, but none of it GREAT. And the exercise sessions are too free-wheeling and freeform to really fit into a routine.

This puts the game ahead of the workout, whereas Fitness Boxing 2 is 90% workout, 5% game, 5% glorified YouTube Video. And yet, you know exactly what you're gonna get out of it every time you turn it on, which is why Ring Fit got retired and Fitness Boxing 2 remains part of my daily routine working from home.


I know it's dumb but I wish I could customize my character More.
But phew this game is effective as hell.
Got my thighs back in shape thanks to this.
I also got better back muscles too.
Just keep at your own pace and you'll find success and happiness.

I had fun with this game but man does it leave me sore. The worst problem I had with the game is that I'm awful at keeping up with it.

Never had more fun burning fat. 7/10

Ring Fit Adventure (2019): Si me lo hubiesen dicho hace unos años me habría reído, pero cuándo me pregunten qué juegos me han cambiado la vida, tendré que decir que este. Sus virtudes van más allá de su valor como videojuego, pero incluso juzgándolo así, es bastante bueno (Sin nota)

This is the GOAT Switch exclusive.

Not to be one of those guys but making exercising fun goes a long to making me actually want to do it, and this does that so... yeah, good fun, would recommend

An actually effective AND fun exercise game. Very impressed.

(Review from July 2020) My personal GOTY for 2019. So good and unexpected. Really engaging and challenging fitness game with a good RPG structure.

Genuinely one of the best things to come out of the switch and a genius bit of kit. Ring fit is a hell of a workout and makes me soak with sweat, but equally as important - its well designed and great fun.

Ring fit’s colourful art style, varied gameplay modes and rpg elements in adventure are all strongly executed to make this an enjoyable and immensely replayable fitness game that keeps me coming back. I particularly like how the game encourages you through its sections, my favourite parts are the jogging levels which fly by because of how it always switches up what you need to be doing - collecting rings, jumping, shooting wind blasts, getting past obstacles, riding ziplines, its great food for my attention lacking brain and actually turns the otherwise mind numbing practice of jogging on the spot into something I enjoy, congrats ring fit!

The ring itself is an amazingly sturdy and versatile piece of equipment that isn’t expensive but you wouldn’t be able to tell because of how good it feels to use. I often find the joy cons’ motion detection quite hit or miss but for whatever reason its almost flawless in this game. Sometimes the game has trouble detecting that you’re in the right starting position and you can’t start an exercise until it does, but there’s ways around it, that’s the only fault i’ve noticed.

Adventure mode does lose its appeal after a while and is honestly a bit too slow with giving you fit skills so you end up doing the same exercises way too much so I only do custom workouts now. The voice acting can be very grating especially when you are dying inside from planking or something so this game gets turned all the way down while I stick music on lol. Otherwise, excellent game that I recommend to basically everyone, its actually great ngl

An awesome motivator to get more active mixed with some fun RPG elements and a fun variety of exercises to get into! Need to get back on the grind!

My dog thinks this game is hilarious. 10/10 on the dog scale.

genuinely a very solid exercise tool but the gameplay is a little slow as a result. i bust this out from time to time

when the pandemic hit i played this everyday for months and the only thing i think i could really blame for why is body dysmorphia. im still unfit (nearly) 4 years later 💪💪💪

This is an absolutely amazing concept that I've never really gotten sick of. It emphsizes the importance of stretches before and after long exercises, and has an abundance of workout moves that get more intense the more you play. It's very rewarding to see your improvement with every session! A great and innovative alternative to going to the gym. I can see myself going back to this even after I finish the main story.

Nintendo made a great effort to get people to get fit. There was fun, but jeez was I sore.

Never enjoyed excercising but had a fun time with this game.

once you stop you never play it again

This game literally makes you sweat. Fun exercise game for sure!


An actual real good fitness game! Sweating turned gamified so that you care about leveling up, beating bosses and switching up your 'moves'. Extremely impressed that they pulled this off.

Only played when a friend let me borrow but a legit workout that was a decent time!

Genuinely one of the best new IPs ever created. If only this came before wii sports.

As someone that enjoys playing games while working out as a sort of distraction from the sores, I found Ring Fit Adventure to be the perfect way of working out for me. And I can say from experience that it really works if you commit to it, which doesn't take a lot out of your day. The stages are designed with the intention of giving your workout variety so that you are encouraged to not be constantly repeating the same exercises. Workouts having cooldowns in combat also adds to this factor.

The story... exists, and I don't really like the ring character but they are sorta necessary to the how the game was designed. so I don't really mind it.

If you're able to work out from home and have a Switch, then I highly recommend it. The only real downside I can think of is that I've felt the joycons need to be calibrated very often. I've had several instances where I needed to go down until I was practically sitting before the game counted it as a squat.

Unfortunately I had to shelve it due to my current living arrangements not being ideal for playing this game (flats and their shitty flooring, amirite?)
