Some quality of life additions certainly make the game harder and more playable at the same time.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of the new graphics, the PC port actually added real PC mouse controls, fixing most of the problems with the crappy camera design of that era.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is simple but charming, especially if you already like the SpongeBob universe.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Mini bosses and bosses are actually creative, fun, challenging (although not as much as the original) and the soundtrack absolutely slaps.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On a technical level, it performs excellently on the Steam Deck, running smoothly and making it a solid pick for portable play.

7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is fairly easy but diverse and satisfying with innovative mechanics for each of the three playable characters.
