Voiceover sounds like Charlie Day.

I played the Steam Demo on Steam Demo day. It's a'ight.
I had a hard time with the copy past mechanic, It has a time mechanic where you copy something and have to run over to paste it in.
I'm not a fan of time based gameplay.

Agreed. The overall aesthetic is pretty rough. Neat concept though.

 

[Kilau]

Agreed. The overall atethic is pretty rough. Neat concept though.

Don't you mean, ruff?

 

[Thanati]

Got to admit, the only reason I clicked on the thread is because I mistakenly read "Buffy" and was hoping for a new game.

Oh well.

 

[RedC]

Physical release??

Ruffy and the Riverside Hands-On Review on Nintendo Switch 2! Explore this Rare-inspired 3D platformer with a creative copy/paste mechanic that lets you reshape the world in real-time.

This is a Hands-On Review of Ruffy and the Riverside on the Nintendo Switch 2. After spending hours exploring, solving puzzles, and experimenting with the game's unique mechanics, I'm excited to share my experience with you. If you're a fan of platformers like Banjo-Kazooie or Donkey Kong 64, this one might just be your next hidden gem.

The copy/paste SWAP mechanic lets you reshape the world by transforming textures—from lava to vines, stone to wood, or even waterfalls into platforms. The open-world design, quirky characters, and clever puzzles deliver a refreshing throwback to the golden era of 3D platformers.

No spoilers—just honest gameplay insights.
