Sarah (7800 KP) rated Ring Fit Adventure in Video Games
Jan 9, 2020
The idea and concept of this game is great. The resistance ring and the leg strap for the joycons are a wonderful invention and a great modern update of the functionality of the Wii Fit. No more balancing on a board! The resistance ring itself is a surprisingly decent bit of kit, I was expecting something rather cheap & flimsy feeling, but it's actually decently made. I wouldn't recommend wearing lycra style pants though with the leg strap as it constantly slides down if you do!
The idea to have a fitness game that actually has a story and plot like a normal video game is also a genius move. The game looks a lot of fun and the inclusion of non story mode gameplay like mini games and normal exercises is also good to mix it up a bit. The problem with the story and the game in general is that the large majority of the exercises are weight/resistance based, even the exercises involving the legs are mostly squats or crunch type exercises. I'm sure this may not be a problem for most people but for me I personally prefer cardio style exercises with a few bits of resistance etc thrown in. The only really cardio you get in this is the jogging around the levels and it isn't enough. The monster battles that involve the exercises too are very repetitive. I can happily spend an hour in a cardio or zumba class yet after 20 minutes on this I was bored senseless.
I bought this so I had an at home exercise option for when I didn't feel like going to the gym, but in all honesty I dont feel like I got much out of it. Which is a shame as I can really appreciate what they've tried to do here. If you're looking for a bit of fun while toning up your arms, legs etc then this game is probably perfect for you. But if you're like me and are looking for a decent workout (and also struggle sticking with exercise in general), then this game probably isn't for you.

Lexi (8 KP) rated Pokémon GO in Apps
Sep 3, 2018
It has a very good way of motivating you to walk just that little bit further. Whether it's a pokemon you haven't caught or just to reach another pokestop, before you know it you've walked a few miles a day. Great for social anxiety and for fitness/weight loss goals.
Love the new friends feature which rewards you for playing with friends. There are special bonuses for certain group activities such as trading and baking in gyms.
It's generally just really fun. I've been playing since its launch in 2016. The game has currently only reached generation three so there's still so much to achieve!
