SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide

itcool

Purple Lamp continues to improve with each new SpongeBob installment, my only complaint is that the game feels a little short.

I wish there was a mixed option for games like this. This game was really run, it had some really good platforming. The Plankton challenges in particular were really hard. The problem is I saw literally everything the game had to offer in under 14 hours. This game needed more development time, its very light on content. Especially compared to the last game, Cosmic Shake, which I got about 20 hours out of 100%ing. And even then I thought Cosmic Shake wasn't as good or fleshed out as Battle for Bikini Bottom. So would I recommend it? Yes, but only for a pretty good sale price. If you haven't already played Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated or Cosmic Shake, I would recommend those over this one

game felt unfinished but its aight. its very short

Third time the charm right? In this case meh. I mean in the previous review of mine i asked Purple Lamp to keep do SpongeBob games, but now im asking them to stop. For example Battle for bikini bottom 24 hour playtime, Cosmic Shake 13 hour, and now Titans is 6 hour, all for the SAME 40€ PRICE TAG. The charm still there, the graphics are there, and i can guarantee that the platforming is one of the best, yet still... I mean probably you can put +6 hour to actually 100% the game, but yet its just replaying the maps for side quests and collectibles, MEH. AND DLC SKINS FOR MORE MONEY, OMG PURPLE LAMP STOP IT. Still, for a heavy discount, probs below 10€ or from humble bundle (yes it will be in the next months for sure) it worth it. Otherwise DONT BUY IT. 5/10

On one hand it's fun and an amusing premise for a SpongeBob story on the other I'm getting kinda tired of saying 'yeah it's a good game but it's not as good as BFBB' at every new game of this IP. The exploration is a big win on this game though there were so many nooks and crannies to find stuff that I feel that the very limited run time this game has would double if you go for 100%. And a loss would be the combat, I like the bosses but they just shower you with extra life in case you take a single hit and normal combat is way too easy and that's just because Patrick is a beast, early on you get an upgrade for him that grabs enemies from a distance and then you can use them as ammo for other enemies, that upgrade alone makes you cruise without any troubles on every combat encounter that isn't a boss. That being said... now I really want another SpongeBob game where the premice now revolves around mermaidman and barnacle boy and you can also use Sandy, Patrick and Bob.
