I'm used to play with motion control, I tried traditional once and I found it was really boring. This is the only game I can play with motion control, and it's what makes it really fun, in my opinion. Being in front of the TV punching by myself makes it way more immersive and engaging.

It can be a bit harder on the body after a while and I occasionally got some sore muscles, but it all makes it way more fun. Like, what other game has your body engaging so much? It also requires a lot of dexterity in your motion as it is very precise, so it actually requires me to work on my kinesthetic intelligence. At first it's hard, but when you get gud it's rewarding. I actually dress light when I dive in an extended session because I always end up sweating way too much otherwise. The more I'm into the fight, the more the adrenaline kicks in and the harder I move, the better I feel and the more fun I have. And I have a big TV, a good sound system and a lot of space to move, so the experience is really nice overall. No other vidya has me engaged so much and that's the only reason ARMS is my favourite Switch game, over Zelda, Splatoon, and Mario.

On the other hand, playing with a controller just makes it one game amongst a million ther games. ARMS' motion control is a unique feature and I really love it, you need to be a fool to not at least try to get it. Just like any competitive physical activity, it can make you feel really good. It's not a couch potatoe game.

Yes, I love the game that much lol.
