New fitness game rewrites the rules on how players think about, and interact with, video games

Turns out playing a video game can somehow be extremely exhausting. — 123rf.com

Ever since I started working at home, I realised that I needed to stay fit instead of just sitting around playing video game... errr, I meant, working very hard at the computer every day. The logical solution was to get Ring Fit Adventure, Nintendo's bizarre hybrid of video game and fitness/exercise machine, because my brain operates entirely in the context of games.

The game was originally released for the Switch back in October 2019 and has been pretty hard to get hold of – possibly owing to the fact that it's one of those rare video games that requires specialised hardware controllers/accessories to play – but fortunately I got my own copy!
