Explore a fantastical adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding dragon and his minions using real-life exercises. Traverse grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, Ring-Con and Leg Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into in-game movements. With additional mini games, Ring Fit Adventure is a great escape for players of all skill levels and schedules. In the Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on real-world exercises. As you work through each level (and possibly work up a sweat), you'll earn experience points. Between fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation, such as squat-powered launch pads and more. Want to compete with others? Pass around the Ring-Con accessory, and select from a few mini games: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using squats and more.

Great fun during COVID

Rather than trying to find room for home gym equipment, adding the Ring Fit Adventure to our routine has been a great expansion of options to try and stay active during stay-at-home guidance. Easy to setup and get going, the workout gameplay is pretty unique and distracting (in a good way!)

This is easy to use, has offline fallback with physical buttons, and has helped me bring the smarthome to the backyard without investing thousands of dollars in the Hue outdoor ecosystem. Absolutely love it!

These are interesting!

Overall, I really enjoy these headphones.
- I have a larger sized head, but the ear cups have great cushion, and I really like both the aesthetic and weight distribution of the ski goggle band across the scalp. I wish the mic could go a hair longer, but I've been told I still come in quite clear and loud
- Sound quality is "ok." If you're expecting noise cancelling or truly outstanding audio quality, this ain't it chief
- The range of the propriety wireless adapter is actually quite impressive, albeit there are issues with interference with other devices on the 2.4GHz spectrum (routers, motion activated lights)
- Breathability of the earcups are an issue in the Arizona summer, as they are less breathable than other headphones I've owned in the past
- Not a big fan of the SteelSeries engine, seems overkill for the lack of options available, and the options that are available in the application are lacking clarity and effectiveness
- Not a fan of the usage of various USB standards for charging and wired playback (e.g. to an Xbox controller)
On the note of wired playback, these will work wired with an Xbox controller. I found I had to bump up the audio on the headphones themselves, and there is zero visual indication that the headphones are actually on in a wired state -- wish the manual or other reviews had mentioned that.

Just works perfectly

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been in the Hue ecosystem for a year now, and while the hardware quality of bulbs themselves has maintained at a healthy level, the software behind the ecosystem continues to get better every month. While it is an investment for sure, I can't recommend going the Hue route for peace of mind when it comes to everything "just working."

Logitech's HERO sensor doesn't offer an immediate difference over other previous G502 models, but the braided cable and overall texture of this model is nicer than previous versions I've owned previously. Love the shape and the additional button placement.

The purchase of this drive, with it's ease in shuckability, is still going strong nearly 2 years later. Be warned, this drive is a gateway to going full NAS in your home. Looking to go to 64TB by end of 2020 at this rate.

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

I've now got 6 of these little donut sized devices around our home, facilitating great music playback for it's size, allowing for intercom usage to broadcast messages across the house, and to help automate more of our daily taskings around the house. They will surprise you with how versatile they can be!

Great for smart home

The ability to have smart home control without having guests download apps, share credentials with family who may not want all the Nest alerts I get, and have at-a-glance visibility when your battery is low after a long day at work is absolutely worth it for my family and I.

This case not only looks beautiful, but it's sturdy construction and great cable management system make doing a custom build an absolute breeze. For those with airflow concerns, I suggest looking at the GamersNexus review of this case line from NZXT to see how the static pressure intake is acceptable for airflow.

A fun extension of the Banks' universe

Overall, this movie plays well to the original, with cut-ins and seamless blending of traditional animation styles with real-life acting, but falls short of the original's magic with an overuse in my opinion of CGI.
