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?)
