Games Asylum: "Nostalgia forms the core of this side-scrolling 2D platformer. What we have here is a brand-new NES game – with even a physical NES cartridge release planned – that’s overlayed with cartoon-like HD visuals, complete with the option to toggle between the two visual styles. This two-pronged approach recalls the current state of the toy industry, with many modern toys aimed at both collectors and children. That’s to say, the 8-bit visuals are clearly meant to rouse nostalgia for those who grew up with Nickelodeon’s Rugrats in the ‘90s, while the modern HD visuals are presumably to appeal more towards today’s more discerning youth."
CCG writes - "Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is better than it has any right to be. I wouldn’t call the experience unique in the slightest as I can pinpoint every little reference and inspiration this title took from retro games. For all the good and bad, it is an NES title. "
Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is an interesting take on a series that hasn't had a modern game in a few years. This is a challenging platform where looks can be deceiving, but it might be perfect for fans of the series.
Dive into the nostalgic charm that brings beloved Rugrats characters to life in our Rugrats Adventures in Gameland review. Don't forget your screwdriver!
