So, I got the game two hours ago (Germany), I've watched all the First Looks and Reviews and stuff ... after the first two levels and with a quarter of Dragaux's health bar down, I was drenched in sweat. I think with mostly slim and at least semi-fit reviewers out there, people casually underestimate how much of a serious workout this is for people like myself, ranging from stocky to obese, who just don't exercise (and hate themselves for it). There's nothing laughable at all about the degree of exercise you'll get out of this game if you're a person who objectively needs to exercise.

@markinstlouis 4 жыл бұрын

I'm right there with you. With my work schedule (12 hour rotating shift work), the gym is a waste of money. With this, I can play for a little bit and shower/go to bed. I'm 51 and seriously out of shape, and this had me tired after just the first level. If you already work out regularly, this may be easy for you, but for people like me that need the motivation to get off of the couch, it's a pretty good work out.

@sint666 4 жыл бұрын

I regularely work out, so I'm one of the semi-fit reviewers, and I put the difficulty up to maximum because I thought it would be okay. I got completely destroyed by the first set of levels hahaha, this game is a blast! This makes me think that you can really improve, because if you feel you are getting the hang of it, no matter how low you start, you can increase the difficulty to keep challenging yourself! Normal exercise needs a lot of discipline to improve and keep coming back to, and in this game it is just a press of a button in difficulty select and you are set for a challenge! This is probably the only game which i physically can't binge, I just have to stop even though I want to see what the next level brings (which gives GREAT motivation to work out the next day too!). You are absolutely right that this game is no laughing matter, it will get people into shape, maybe not like an athlete, but it's the no-workout to some-workout that is the hardest and yields the biggest results!

My wife laughs when I say I'm getting fat because that's really like... 5-10 pounds overweight but FOR ME... I hate it. I know I'm nowhere near the shape I used to be in and I've been trying to figure out how to accomplish that. It's great to hear your review. My schedule somewhat precludes a gym membership too.

It's pretty hard for me to get enough motivation to exercise "normally" at the moment, but i really need to fight this upwards weight gain trend so a fun little game like this is exactly what i need right now.

Today I'm about 190 pounds and I've been maintaining myself but I really need a motivation to lose more weight and this game is looking like that's gonna be exactly what I need.

This is where I hoped gaming could go for a long time. There was this design concept of a 360 degree treadmill with VR and gun for gaming that was on shark tank that looked so fun but obviously hasn't come to be due to cost/gamer preference. I'm actually not a fan of RPGs in general but this is so different. I hope more games can be made with movement.
