Importance of sports in games

With the dizzying growth of the gaming industry and the lifestyle sedentary, titles that promote physical exercise are valuable for health, motivating players to get up and play sports. However, Sport & Fun: Swimming is limited to the swimming mechanic, and punitively imposes a 15-second pause if the player tries to swim quickly. thus causing frustration for the player who does not want to limit himself to slowly doing the swimming movement.

This game is monotonous and tedious, failing to engage the player with new challenges as there is only one movement repeated. If you're looking for movement and exercise games for the Nintendo Switch, I'd suggest other titles, like Just Dance, that offer more dynamic gameplay. Alternatively, there are games that require less movement but still utilize these mechanics, such as 1-2 Switch or Mario Party. That can bring entertainment to different target audiences less niche.

Conclusion on Sport & Fun: Swimming

The game failed to hold my attention for more than 5 minutes. The limitation of movement that the game imposes and the mandatory breaks were annoying. In addition, its price is around 20 dollars or 106 reais, although it is currently on sale for 10 reais or 2 dollars, and it is only available for Nintendo Switch. Sport & Fun: Swimming it is not attractive and does not seem to be a viable option. With all due respect to the developers, I cannot recommend purchasing this game as I cannot identify an audience that would feel comfortable playing this title over any other sports game.
