Jul 8, 2025An adorable indie game that is, in many ways, a love letter to the 3D platformers of the 90s. Its visual style, core mechanics and variety of scenarios are proof of overflowing creativity. However, it also suffers from execution flaws that prevent it from shining to its full potential. It's a game that will be especially enjoyed by those who grew up with the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation era, but may turn off modern gamers accustomed to greater refinement.

Jul 7, 2025Ruffy and the Riverside is an adventure-platform that seems to have come straight out of the 64-bit golden age, but the “swap system” integrated into its gameplay manages to make it quite unique in its genre and to give life to truly unique and fun puzzle elements. The perhaps excessive “richness” of some levels makes orientation more difficult than it should be and some performance issues on Switch 2 (in backward compatibility) would require prompt intervention by the development team.

Jul 6, 2025Those who miss retro 3D platformers will certainly enjoy Ruffy's colorful world, but as a modern platformer it offers too varied an experience. At times the bear's own adventure is captivating, but the difficulty level too often swings from easy to illogical, and the adventure doesn't feel rewarding enough. Too bad, because there was potential for better.
