Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of my favorite new platforming mechanics is when you have to jump on a boulder and roll down a hill while avoiding obstacles.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It serves as a spiritual successor to Battle for Bikini Bottom, particularly the Rehydrated edition, and continues to build on that foundation with modern visuals, refined controls, and a fresh multiverse-spanning narrative.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For one of the rare occasions in history, a developer made an unreal game with stylized, show-faithful graphics and it actually runs smooth due to the genuine effort of a real optimization.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat feels responsive, with the new array of attacks at Spongebob's disposal being very fun to use.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unlike most games, the fixed difficulty of Spongebob forces you to actually learn and master these mechanics, which doesn't feel like as much as a chore as you may think.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is on point, dialogue is just fun, the art style is pretty and whimsical and the gameplay/controls are smooth.
