Barbie Rewind feels like the equivalent of showing your children the family heirloom rocking horse, and then watching them poke it and ask if they can play Roblox. A weird mix of nostalgia and interior decorating sim, it’s home to 17 retro Barbie games and a dreamhouse to arrange Barbie-appropriate furniture in. Now, it’s been over three decades since I last smashed a Barbie against a G.I. Joe and made smooching noises, so I called in two gaming experts, Kora (9) and Paloma (5), to assist with this review. Sadly, unlike her looks, time has not been kind to Barbie’s gaming legacy. <\/p>\n
Why does she have a scuba mask but not a toilet?\u201c<\/p>\n
“That doesn’t make sense. Why does she have a scuba mask but not a toilet?” A crucial question from Kora as the girls got stuck into the only bit of Barbie Rewind they actually cared about: the decorating. This might be selling itself as a collection of Barbie games from 1991’s NES Barbie through to 2007’s Barbie as the Island Princess,<\/p>\n
