If you’re the kind of person who likes quirky platformers with a whole lot of charm and whimsy, you may have your eyes set on Ruffy and the Riverside. In this bizarre 3D platformer, you’re cast as the titular character who possesses the ability to copy and paste textures, allowing you to change the world around you to solve puzzles and reach new areas.
Ruffy and the Riverside can be a whole lot of fun if you’re able to brave its frenetic gameplay and art style. But you may be wondering how long it’ll take you to reach the end of this rowdy adventure and how much extra content there is to dive into. Let’s answer that for you below.
If you’re just mainlining Ruffy and the Riverside‘s campaign, you can likely reach the end of the game in about 6-8 hours. This makes it notably shorter than some similar 3D platformers, but its wacky gameplay and clever puzzles ensure that not a moment is wasted. Even so, you may wish for a few extra hours when you realize how brief the main quest is, especially if you really click with the Swap ability and enjoy blasting textures all over the map.
Luckily, there are a lot of optional things to do in Ruffy and the Riverside that can extend your time with the game, especially if you’re aiming to obtain all of its trophies or achievements. You’ll need to find a variety of optional secrets and collectibles, as well as swap textures over a thousand times. But given that a large part of the gameplay loop involves the Swap ability, you’ll be well on your way to that one anyway.
Whether you’re looking to push through the campaign or track down every secret, you can get started doing so right away. Ruffy and the Riverside is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PCs.
