PUNCH FIT

great fitness game.I don't really know weather it's going to actually get me to build up muscle and lose weight, but it's regardless a pretty good game

It is a solid workout game that makes exercising feel more like fun than a chore. The punches and combos keep you moving, and it’s a good way to burn energy while still feeling like you’re playing a game. It can get tiring fast, but that’s kind of the point—it’s a fun way to stay active.

PUNCH FIT is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, PUNCH FIT is a software application that provides a number of boxing related workout routines that you're supposed to do while wearing a clunky VR visor... which makes it hard to use. Talk about bad ideas implemented badly... and most importantly, this is not a game. It's from the weirdly named "The Strippers" in Japan, and I think we can at least take some comfort that they have something to fall back on, because as far as software developers go, these guys failed. For starters, if you want to be a developer, one of the first things you should know is that applications like Microsoft Word and exercise routines are not video games. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers.

What an awesome game. Can’t believe it’s free, or that they gave up on it on PCVR. I bought it on Meta to support them, although kind of bummed it’s not being developed on here as I would rather pay for this one.

At first I thought [i]hey, a free workout game in VR, sweet! what could go wrong!?[/i] Then the lyrics in one of the songs got homophobic. Great jorb devs. This game is just a waste. Asset in question is [b]005_PictureThisPonderThat by C4Kaboom Artlist[/b] if you wanted to know.

yeah I too poor to purchase a VR, at least let me play this time in dream.

Interesting cardio game. It's got lootboxes, yet no microtransations (as of writing this review). Good for a quick spot of cardio.
