Sure thing, let’s dive in—if I can just collect my thoughts for a sec. Okay, here goes.

So, I got around to checking out Ruffy and the Riverside the other day, a wacky little gem from Phiphen Games and Zockrates Laboratory. Ever heard of them? Neither had I. Anyway, I ended up having way more fun than I thought possible. Random, huh?
Picture this: The game’s some kind of open-world playground where you, as Ruffy—imagine the happiest treasure hunter ever—get to swap textures. Kind of like actual magic but not quite. There’s a moment where lava straight up turns into a chill river. How do they even come up with this stuff? Or waterfalls into vines? Honestly, blew my mind. It’s colorful, it’s wild, and before I knew it, I was looking everywhere for hidden stuff.
Oh, did I mention you can grab a free PlayStation 5 copy of the game? Yeah, that’s happening. But, eh, catch it quick because it’s up until August 1, 2025. Midnight Pacific, in case you’re wondering.
And, not just this one! You’re into free games, right? ‘Cause there’s a bunch more giveaways you might want to check out. Feels like Christmas come early. Or is it late? You know what I mean.
Anyway, best of luck! May the odds be ever in your…whatever, go win some games!

That’s all for now. I think Ruffy might just be my new favorite. Who knew?
