Ratings and reviews

This feels like a spiritual successor to Battle for Bikini Bottom. You're limited strictly to SpongeBob as a playable character, but he's got a bunch of new abilities. So the combat stays feeling fresh enough throughout. The graphics look great and the whole game has a cinematic feel. Controller support is also flawless and worked without any configuration. The developers clearly put a lot of work into making this game feel like a true sequel to an OG classic. I think they succeeded.

Great game with funny dialogue and many references to the show. My only complaints are sometimes the dialogue can overlap, cut off, or glitch out. The game also becomes very laggy at higher resolutions (I picked High for optimal performance). I have a Google Pixel 6A (might be the reason). The game also stutters randomly (especially when loading in new areas while playing, which caused me to die a few times. Overall, it's a fantastic game despite the performance and audio issues.

I completed the game 100% with all achievements, and overall, it was a really fun experience. The story is great, and I loved the different voiceovers—especially the Hindi voice-over, which was a standout for me. Some areas like Bikini Bottom and the Wild West felt a bit laggy, though. Hope the developers can optimize those parts to make the game even better. For the price, it's definitely worth playing—especially if you're a SpongeBob fan!
