WTMG’s Leo Faria: „Ruffy and the Riverside is a joyful little game with a really inventive gameplay loop. It mixes elements from open world adventures, logic-based puzzles, and the level structure of classic 3D collectathons to create something that is truly unique, whilst still being accessible, and not at all condescending. It also helps that its visuals are great, and its sense of humor is completely on point. Even if I had one or two (very small) issues with some of its aspects, it was nothing that would turn the game into a dealbreaker. Its just a fantastic indie game that is absolutely worth your time, no matter the kind of game youre into. An even better deal if you grab it on a portable, considering how perfect its gameplay structure is when enjoyed in small sessions.“
