- A review of Ring Fit Adventure with 5 good things and 5 bad things pointed out. Want to know what Ring Fit Adventure is like, and if it is good for weight loss? Check out the rest of the channel!
Now, this was recorded in June 2020, and I have since found that you are able to alter the power of moves in the adventure mode, but the power is still slightly (less) unbalanced near the end of the game, so...point still stands. Aaaannnyway.

I'm glad someone else noticed the unfair balancing. Some of the harder exercise you get early on like the squads and planks should definitely do more damage. I'm still doing them because I want to actually do something that challenges me, but it does feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot sometimes.
Yeah, its rough in that sense. I try using those physically harder moves in my custom workouts to make sure I'm still doing them, but for adventure I've ended up swapping them out.
agree
Why the f- (sorry I forgot this is a kids game not just a dragon daddy hormone stimulation simulator) on earth does twisting your wrist do crazy damage to every single enemy on the board but plain old traditional squats do pitiful damage to a single enemy
For switch games you make it 5 joys, 5 cons
GENUIS
I've always heard "your sweat is so shiny it's beautiful". This line makes me laugh though. :D
Hahaha!
I'm just gonna say it, I love ring. Hes a wierd little work out freak but hes so positive all the time and tbh I kinda need that energy right now
We dig that energy!
For me, Ring Fit Adventure is an excellent fitness game. However, there are only 3 cons.
1- Ring is the only character with voice acting while the others are grunting when dialogues appears.
2- The game is always reminding you on how to do the Ab Guard, which is a move that you have been doing since world 1. As well as all the moves you must do in the overworld or dungeons, like breaking boulders, opening a chest, climbing, etc. We don't need a reminder. We've been doing these actions during the entire adventure.
3- The game is asking you way too many times if you want to take a break. There should be an option to change how often do you want the game to remind you if you want to take a break. Some people knows when to stop.
Great points there! I'm really frustrated with Dragaux not having a VA. Seems weird. And yes, there should absolutely be optons to turn off the tutorials after a while. Maybe you'd have to unlock it.
I get the game asking you to take a break, its definitely a good call for those who are newer, but also an adaptable option for it would be appreciated.
the reminders are great though, if anything they could give option to turn them off, but I love the fact that they keep popping out so there is no way I get confused about some sections
Even when taking a class at a gym I need reminders periodically. I’m new to gaming and working out. Sometimes I get so focused on what I’m doing that I forget a move or control so for me the reminders are nice. I also slight memory issues too. But I can see how it would get annoying very quickly! Haven’t gotten mine yet but the more videos I watch the more I want it!! Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Not only the tutorial for the ab guard. It's pretty useless for the victory pose as well, and it would be nice to have an option to skip the explanations for the minigames. Maybe I need a reminder, but maybe not, and it's frustrating to go through the tutorial (which is relatively lengthy) when you don't need it.
@@CadenzaVvi I absolutely hate it when I see a spring and immediately squat only for the game to stop, tell me to squat and count to three until I can progress.
I realized recently that the habits I got of moving in the last month is something that I miss when I don't do it. Like, yesterday, I gamed for 4 hours. Afterwards, I really felt a urge to move, and played some Ring fit. Today, I played quite a lot (I had my dinner delivered and the food arrived earlier than expected, so I was in the middle of my training; the 40-minute break made it so I was able to play longer) and it felt so good afterwards!
I'm so glad that this game helped me staying active after my yoga lessons stopped and that it is now a part of my daily routine. I'm hopeful that this can have a similar result for other people. This game is really neat!
This is so lovely, and shows how it has become a real part of your life now! Whilst it is ok to take a day off or two, I'm so glad to hear how active you've become through Ring Fit!
My biggest complaint so far (I haven't had the game very long) is that with only 6 slots for exercises in battle, it's hard to get enough variety in each level. I've heard that as you progress you can upgrade the number of slots you have, so I'm looking forward to that.
Definitely a goodpoint there! I know that you can increase those slots, yes. I currently have 8 slots, so I use two per attack type right now, unless it calls for a specific colour in the menu.
skill points come at about level 40-50 and there is an option to increase skill slots. and also there is a increased skill tree at level around 60-65 and it might increase again after (i’m only at world 11)
Oh, I am so glad to hear input from a fitness trainer about Ring Fit Adventure. I'm enjoying your videos and just subscribed, too. You are so right in the advice about listening to your own wisdom (and that of a trainer) above the generic guide info: I've got old injuries and scar tissue to deal with and there's no way the game can tailor advice around that. I also agree that some of the chatter from "Ring" is jarringly weird - but ignoreable. One feature I appreciate is the pulse meter that helps me assess light, moderate and intense working out.
I've been using it for about 90 days (80 days of actual use), beginning at level one and working a 45-minute session of about 14 minutes of clocked exercise. I'm in my 60s, mostly sedentary and did NOT want any injury to stall me out (which has happened so often in the past) so I started out at the bottom. I am having good results: Progressing to level 9 now, losing 8 pounds, 2" off waist, etc. and enjoying the process.
One tip I have for newbies is to RECALIBRATE after a bit. When I first got it, I was nervous about damaging the Ring, so when I first calibrated it, it registered me as way weaker than I am, and as a result, the game expected less of me. I figured this out as I noticed after about a month that I never needed to use any of the in-game smoothies. Even after upping the level to 8, it was still letting me win too easily. I re-calibrated ring, leg and running and it became a more 'honest' workout.
I'm glad you're getting use from the IR reader, I've found it fairly ineffective for me as it rarely reads...could be a joycon issue!
Thats really great how you've rebuilt from the ground up, and its great to see the older generations getting on board with this game too! Fantastic effort, keep it up!
I find the other voice’s “your sweat is so shiny and beautiful” slightly less creepy and more encouraging lol
Ayyy I haven't heard it, but I'll be sure to check it out. Thats good to know though hahaa
I just got a ring fit and I’m loving it so far - I haven’t created any playlists yet - this is a good idea! I’ve been doing the sets when I want something different from adventure.
Hey, I enjoyed the video. It's always nice to hear a professional's take on something related to their field.
I don't totally agree with some of the cons, namely the voice getting irritating. I personally find Ring's constant cheery attitude encouraging and appreciated. It's nice to have someone as excited about me getting healthy as I am.
Obviously though that's totally subjective, and just a difference in opinions.
I do very much agree with your #1 con though. I too have found it annoying that some very easy workouts are as effective in combat, if not moreso, than more physically challenging workouts.
That's one of those things I've learned I just need to mentally discipline myself on. "Don't set nothing but super easy workouts! Regardless of how much damage they do!" I keep one or two of them as kinda a mid-battle break, but try to equip mostly effective and tough workouts. This works for me personally.
Again, nice video. I liked it.
Hey Isaac! Yes, its one hundred percent subjective! Where I find Ring a tad on the irritating side, I'll always be pro encouragement and positivity during a workout, and I appreciate the way you feel about Ring's positivity. Thats great, because getting healthy is absolutely something you should feel good about!
Ahh the last one is frustrating. I hear that near the end game there is a sort of remedy for this issue, which is great! But until then, putting some harder exercises in regardless of power is awesome. And you can always get the levelled up versions to help with variation from World 9 onwards. Variation is the spice of life ;)
The constant squats were really hard on my knees, and they resulted in an ache that would haunt me after the game. I found out after a while that I was best served playing this game while wearing runner's braces. As soon as I started using them, my issues went away. Dropped 40lbs.
Interesting anecdote! Great to hear you found a way to make it easier for the squats. And 40 pounds is a hell ofa result! Well done!
@@MasterTrainerPeter I wish I could have kept all of it off! It's surprisingly difficult to jump back into the game when you've taken time off - especially at higher levels.
I found that with calibrating the leg strap I needed to go a little slower on the calibration. Once that was done I was able to maintain a steady pace within the game and everything seemed to be a bit more responsive when running. I haven't had to recalibrate my strap since and it works.
Lovely! Thats really good to know!
i just started playing but i'm already with you on the unfair balancing, especially as someone with limited mobility. the number of exercises i can is already reduced, but i still want to get a decent workout...but i also want to defeat the bosses lol. it's going to be harder to me to get a proper workout if i can only select the exercises i can realistically do AND the ones that deal a fair amount of damage (not to mention the colour coding).
I would agree with 99% of your pros and cons. Personally, I haven’t had much of an issue with run/walk/sprint. It may take a second or two to register, but for the most part it’s pretty accurate. Perhaps it has to do with the joycons in relation to the console?
Hey Andie, thats absolutely fair. I'd be having quite a few issues with it, but I have recently found it to be a bit better. Must be a thigh strap position thing from when I was playing before! I do still find the stairs/knee lifts to be tough to register at first though.
Haha, i am glad we have a different voice for Ring xD he talks as frequent as always of course, but his voice less obnoxios.
I would also like to change the battle power maybe through skillpoints.
And like you said a but more information about balancing your workout.
Yeah, I think Ring's voice is just...one of those game things! As you go through the game, you do get high and alternate powered moves, so the balance does change as you go.
After a month with adventure mode, one thing that I feel like a con is the universal level. Kinda like raising the volume bar and volume for all apps go up the same. I wish I could add level to specific routine rather than to do that routine and wait for the cool down to do that routine again to simulate higher level of that routine.
I think you can use smoothies to instantly reset the last move in Adventure mode, if that helps?
also, another big con related to your #1 con -- once you reach a certain level, and you've gotten all the abilities from the skills tree, you just stop getting new abilities, period. There's a set of 10 abilities that I've used for at least the past 200 battles or so just because they have the most power (top 4 single-target, top 3 three-target, top 3 five-target)... I would love it if the abilities didn't have a specific power, just a type of attack (1, 3, or 5 target attacks) that way I could still get the wide variety of exercises, because there are many attacks that I haven't done in months just going through adventure mode
Extra ways to customize attacks would be excellent! That level of deeper customization would be excellent for a Ring Fit 2!
Great points!
Cons 1 and 4 I agree 100%
Ring is an acquired taste, and the non specific advice would be impossible to solve...
The Pro list way to short with only 5 LOL
Ring fit adventure is a really great game
My number one issue is with the leg strap. I wear mine all the way up my leg so it doesn't slide down. This causes a number of moves to not register properly, like knee raises, mountain climbers and leg scissors.
Leg strap wasnt something I really had issues with until I washed it, interestingly. I'm working on some ways to assist with it!
4:41 I belly laughed so hard I can skip my ab workout today. Thanks!
You're welcome!!
i started playing this game recently and the problem i have is, adventure mode at the beginning seems to focus too much on the legs, you travel by jogging and when in battle, 3/4 of the skill are basically squad...
my leg pretty much give up after 5 minutes of playing this game on my 1st day because it just cant handle all those skill that involve the leg.. wish there is more variety in the battle skill so your leg have more chance to rest.
There is bit of a focus on hip and knee flexion but its in differing degrees. New skills unlock fairly soon :)
Con: Monsters just can't keep up with you, but their HP scales very high.
I have not used anything but my basic clothes halfway through NG+ and monsters stopped being a challenge long ago unless I give up ab guard. I even let bosses use their full damage ultimate attacks and they only take off a handful of hearts most of the time.
Yeah, the attack/defense stats are a bit wack at higher levels.
i like the shiny sweat line though :c it always makes me laugh
Totally fair, each to their own!!
The largest issue for me is the constant reminder to cooldown and "turn your exercise into experience points with a victory pose". Very annoying.
Turning that off could be fantastic tbh. I think having it based on your difficulty level would be good too.
I really like that game but I hate that some attacks I like are really weak and some which are pretty easy are super strong.. and as a gamer I still focus on damage output...
Yeah, I tend to focus on that a bit too. The attacks do end up changing in power balance as you get further into Adventure...which I wasnt aware of when I initially made the video!
About the unbalanced Battle mode, I don't it is a bit deal since it is for the adventure. I can alweys pick the harder exercises on free mode to train better.
Yeah, but early game in Adventure it can be frustrating. I know it gets alleviated at the end game (but I didnt know at time of recording!). Using the Custom Mode to get the harder exercises in it great though! Keep it up Eduardo!!
@@MasterTrainerPeter I still have to buy it... to hard to find it over here
My daughter (20) and I (52) are thinking about getting the Ring Fit. I'm worried that there may be moves I simply can not perform at this time. Does it give you options? Is there a way to work around this?
So the game features multiple 'assist' modes to help with certain movements. It can remove the running part, leg moves, shoulder moves etc to help if you have issues with movement. It means you can focus on what you can do, and bring in more down the line!
I know with my thicc thighs the Jogging used to climb the stairs or getting though water never registers properly.
You can recalibrate it
The biggest con in my opinion are the suboptimal controls. The ab workouts wont recognize half the time.
At me, every move when you dont hild the ring, it wont recognize.
I wouldnt call them suboptimal in most parts. Some moves have really poor detection (Mountain Climbers and Open Close Leg Raise come to mind), but most other moves work well for most people. Have you tried adjusting the leg strap?
@@MasterTrainerPeter Adjusting the strap, different positions, turning the controller off and on again.
Every movement with which you have to lay down the ringcon only wants 2/3s of time.
It’s a completely fair comment to make, but I feel like the #1 con can be mitigated by choosing random, which is what I do
Well, perhaps being so chipper keeps the dark influence away. Or so Ring thinks. It's not healthy to "overwork" an emotion, just like muscles. Would be a good foundation for a sequel story. Get on that Nintendo.
Maybe?! YES NINTENDO MAKE A SEQUEL.
Umm, not sure why #5 exists. I like the ringcon and glad it exists, but yes, it could be improved.
Was that the 'con' where I show the Ring Con? Because that was just a pun :)
İ have 50kg overweight. Will i lose weight or not is the only answer i wanted to hear.
You need to alter your diet so that you are in a caloric deficit. This will trigger weight loss.
Ring Fit has exercises that can assist with getting you moving and such, but the weight loss comes down to your food/drink. Ring Fit also has educational aspects about nutrition and your body in general, so I'd recommend it!
Nintendo will take your video into account, just so they pulls off another stuff like Ring Fit Adventure, but with those issues addressed.
I hope we get a sequel! Hopefully they listen to feedback on it too!
another HUUUUUUUGE con - I've played the game quite a lot, level 327 currently and I'm one level away from beating the regular mode + extra levels...... this ring con is so awfully, terribly flimsy after the first 50 or 60 hours of play. I actually *HAVE TO* use the abs assist mode to get through the canoe rowing and flying, because otherwise I couldn't do it. All the ring presses and pulls and stuff work fine, but rowing and flying are nearly impossible without the abs assist turned on. I seriously rage quit the game once because the flying just was not responding to all my stomach presses with the ring.
How interesting, so the tensile strength of the Ring degrades so significantly the lighter presses dont register? Seems weird that Ring Presses work but Ab Guards dont!
