Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland will be free on Epic Games Store from September 12

Nostalgia all around

If you grew up in the ’90s like me, then you’ve likely got at least one fond memory of The Rugrats. Starting on September 12, Epic Games Store is giving players the opportunity to get Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland entirely for free.

The Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a thoroughly enjoyable dive into epic nostalgia. Filled with collectables to find, interchangeable characters with special abilities, and levels that look like something directly out of the cartoons you grew up watching. 

If you’re feeling even more nostalgic and want to truly take a trip down memory lane, you can always play in retro style by switching to 8-bit mode. I played the Adventures in Gameland demo in March and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything from the music to the voices brought back wave upon wave of nostalgia, so I highly recommend any ’90s kid make the most of this freebie when it arrives.

Also, there’s multiplayer, which means you can wander around the Rugrats house (and beyond) with a friend, and really bring those memories of cartoons past to life. On top of that, it’s coming to Epic Games Store as a freebie only two days after it’s set to release! What’s not to love?

If you’re not ready to be overwhelmed by nostalgia, you could always go for the second game on offer that week — Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. You can play solo, or with up to three friends, making the approach to Rhythm Castle to try and take down King Ferdinand. 

The game has over 30 tracks of all genres to play your way through, so there’s something for all tastes. Imagine Guitar Hero, but with cuter graphics and a story of overcoming adversity and puzzle solving on the side. It’s all about embracing chaos and, if there’s ever something I can get on board with, it’s chaotic fun.
