- Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a fun little game based on the classic Nicktoon, but unfortunately it’s a little too short and too easy for the price. The ability to swap between the four main babies and each having their own strengths and weaknesses is nice, plus the graphics and audio are pretty spot on from what Klasky Csupó gave us over three decades ago. However, the high price point for a rather easy game that can be completed in under ninety minutes will likely be a bit of a turnoff for a lot of people. If you’re able to wait for it to go on sale, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Russell Archey · Sep 25, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As mentioned in the beginning of the review, your impressions of Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland are going to depend on how you feel about a game that takes its presentation and design strictly from that 8-bit generation of gaming. The game looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous on the presentation front, and the game does a good job of applying the Super Mario Bros. 2 mechanics to its game world. You'll wish the camera issues from the HD mode were fixed and that the cheap hits from enemies and their placement weren't present in the most annoying of areas. The game is fine, but the frustration from these issues and the relatively high price for such a short experience prevent it from being an all-around great title for fans of nostalgia.
Cody Medellin · Sep 23, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - It’s perhaps somewhat ironic that Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland would fit right in with the terrible licensed shovelware titles of the ‘90s and early 2000s. The gameplay lacks depth, the controls are awkward, and the lack of explanation of what buttons do doesn’t help either. While the audiovisual presentation is okay, that’s really not enough to justify the existence of this game. The final nail in Adventures in Gameland’s coffin is how grossly overpriced it is for both the length and quality of what you’re getting here.
SebastiaanRaats · Sep 18, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland was a mixed experience. I loved its presentation, with its amazing visuals and pretty decent soundtrack, but its level design felt a bit cheap, its platforming can be faulty at times, and, well, it’s just too damn short. By the time you’re starting to get used to its intricacies, the game is already over. I did appreciate the intention of making it a remaster of a fictional long-lost 8-bit title that had never been released before, but even games from back then featured a bit more meat and lasting appeal. If you’re a fan of the show, by all means, this is worth your time and money, but for everyone else, just wait for a sale.
Leo Faria · Sep 11, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a baby sized adventure with an all grown up price tag, with poorly designed stages and frustrating enemies.
Lyle Pendle · Sep 10, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland looks good on the surface, ultimately it is a game trying to be Super Mario Brothers 2 and is nearly forty years too late to scene. It’s short, strict and just not worth the price tag they’re offering it at.
Jake Mounsey · Sep 10, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Luckily, level design is good, offering sprawling environments with numerous secrets and alternate pathways. Plus the levels feel unique from one another. The kitchen has an industrial aesthetic, the attic more of a haunted house, and so on. They brilliantly take mundane, everyday items and extrapolate them into fantastical environs, much like you’d expect from the mind of a child. Cumulatively, you end up with a title brimming with nostalgia and good ideas, but controls that hold the affair back.
Graham Banas · Sep 10, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a better game than I expected it to be. It’s a quality platformer in the style of the Western Super Mario Bros. 2, with some extra elements and features to keep it from being too close to its source. The Rugrats license has been implemented well, though I did find myself wishing it had voice acting for the cut scenes. A little on the short and breezy side to be sure, but worth a play for fans of platformers and the Rugrats alike.
Shaun Musgrave · Sep 10, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a well-made platformer that captures the heart of what made the TV show tick, and that’s perhaps its greatest achievement. The character swapping system isn’t unique, but it works well owing to some clever and occasionally quite challenging stage design; and, while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, there’s a fun action game here with a good level of exploration. Whether you’re drawn to the HD or retro aesthetic variants is down to which of your nostalgic sentiments is strongest. Either way, the 8-bit representation is so accurate to hardware of that era we can’t believe it wasn’t actually released three decades ago.
Tom Massey · Sep 09, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a fun time for Rugrats and platforming fans alike, featuring solid level design, a enjoyable story, and good enemy design. The game performs perfectly on Switch and is arguably more fun to play in handheld mode, though there’s something special about seeing 8-bit graphics on the big screen.
