The Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection is a compilation of retro games from consoles such as the Game Boy and PlayStation, allowing you to play them all on the same device. It includes Rugrats: Search for Reptar, The Rugrats Movie, Rugrats: Time Travelers, Rugrats: Studio Tour, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and Rugrats: Castle Capers. These games are based on different moments from the series.

The controls can feel somewhat clunky and the cutscenes do not live up to modern standards, but much of that is part of the collection’s charm. Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection feels like a love letter to the franchise, bringing together a selection of classics in a way that will appeal to ’90s kids who grew up with Rugrats, as well as retro gamers who enjoy experiencing these kinds of titles on modern consoles.

The selection of games in Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection is particularly strong, both in terms of their visuals and gameplay. Some are 2D, while others are 3D, depending on the console and the era in which they were released. You will find more arcade-style games alongside more open-ended experiences, helping to keep things interesting. Each title even includes a short scene showing how the game connects to a particular episode.

Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection is definitely an ode to game preservation, something further reinforced by the high-resolution scans of the instruction manuals that originally came with the games. Its goal is to keep certain titles available that might otherwise be lost over time.
