Explore a fantastical adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding
dragon and his minions using real-life exercises. Traverse
grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with
overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by
striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, Ring -Con and Leg
Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into
in-game movements. With additional minigames, Ring Fit Adventure
is a great escape for players of all skill levels and
schedules.In Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on
real-world exercises. As you work through each level (and
possibly work up a sweat), you’ll earn experience points. Between
fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation
such as squat-powered launch pads, and more. Want to compete with
others? Pass around the Ring-Con accessory and select from a few
minigames: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using
squats and many others.

Review: A great tool to help you exercise - I've had Ring Fit
Adventure (RFA) since November, and I'm approaching level 100 in
the adventure mode. Like any new thing, I was much more eager in
the beginning at the chance to get healthier than I am now. The
game doesn't push you to keep coming back to play. And while some
people may be disappointing, I have found it much better for
myself in the long term. RFA is much more of a game than past
fitness Nintendo games have been. Instead of holding a wiimote
and using a balance board you have a legstrap and the ring-con
(pilates band) to create the movements of your character on
screen. It has a basic story and plays on quite a few RPG tropes,
but does so in a way that makes you get that little bit of
escapism that can keep your mind from associating the game from a
hard workout when you're pushing to get those last set of knee
lift combos in. You still know you're exercising, but you're
doing it towards a tangible goal of finishing a level, defeating
a boss, or completing a sidequest for a cool reward. One of the
big things about RFA is that it doesn't push you to keep going.
It'll offer an alarm to set a routine, but doesn't bug you past
the first mention. After about 10 minutes of active time (upon
finishing whatever level you're on) it'll offer that you've done
well for the day and can stop if you wish. It reminds you not to
push yourself to exercise if you're feeling sore (believe me, as
a sedentary person before this you likely will be). This lets you
really know that you are in control, and that for me, the game
understands that you can be busy or not in the right form to jump
in for another day. I don't feel bad for missing a few days,
because I know when I jump back in the game will drop me in where
I was and let me continue pushing forward. I do think you'll get
a heck of a lot more out of the game if you collaborate with
friends. I'm definitely motivated to keep going when I see my
friends post their summary sheet detailing their exercise time
and calories burned for the day. We bemoan over the dreadmills
and squat swings. We celebrate each other's wins. And it's
honestly great to have. I'm also happy to have an alternative to
a gym membership. Instead of feeling bad for not going somewhere
enough due to paying a monthly fee, I have this sitting in my
living room, fully paid for up front, ready to do a quick workout
after a long day at work. As someone who has struggled with wait,
bullying, and lack of physical exercise growing up, knowing I can
be comfortable in my home and get a great workout is huge. It
hasn't turned me into any kind of gym rat, but I can definitely
feel my body getting a little stronger and more in shape, which
makes me very happy. tl;dr The game won't push you to exercise,
but it's gorgeous and well thought out to let you do it at your
own pace whenever you're ready.
