SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide Reviews

Love this game. Fun Bright and Exciting.

A great sequel to the Cosmic Shake. Despite being shorter than its predecessor, the gameplay is much more dynamic, and the swapping mechanic makes the platforming more fun. If you enjoyed the previous games, you will love this one too.

A strong SpongeBob game. Fan service is well-done and meaningful. The game takes advantage of the character swapping mechanics to make some really fun platforming moments.

After recently completing SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, I came straight to Titans of the Tide, albeit with a little sour taste in my mouth because I didn't really enjoy Cosmic Shake to much. I am going to apologise in advance because I am going to compare this to Cosmic Shake a lot. Titans of the Tide was MUCH more enjoyable than Cosmic Shake, in my honest opinion and I will explain all of this below, so let's get to it! [h1][b] What I liked/Pros [/b][/h1] ⚫This adventure with SpongeBob SquarePants has us in the middle of a feud with the Flying Dutchman and King Neptune. It HAS a good little story to follow. It's consistent from start to finish. ⚫The locations you visit are vibrant and colourful. All of which you can explore freely. Tackle challenges, side quests and collect to your hearts content. ⚫You can SEAMLESSLY swap between SpongeBob and Patrick. It's so smooth. ⚫The combat in this game compared to Cosmic Shake was really refreshing. Being able to swap between SpongeBob straight to Patrick to grab an enemy to throw then right back to SpongeBob to bubble them (and so much more) with the press of a button... oh man. This is the type of combat Cosmic Shake should have had. ⚫The platforming in Titans of the Tide compared to Cosmic Shake is such a difference. Its so much more fun. I personally think it's because of the seamless character swapping and how well the mechanics blend. ⚫The dialogue in Titans of the Tide actually made me laugh! ⚫The original Voice actors are back again and I have to say... they done a damn fine job here! They knocked it right out the water!! ⚫SEMI-SPOILER - [spoiler] for finding all the TV's you get a song called "Titans of the Tide" which is sung by David Hasselhoff. It's a sea shanty-style track! I LOVED IT! (What shall we do with a drunken sailor) [/spoiler] [h1][b] What I didn't like/Cons [/b][/h1] ⚫Again, just like Cosmic Shake... Titans of the Tide has the exact same enemies that are all just "bigger" versions of the last one. Instead of "blue jelly" in Cosmic Shake, picture them "GREEN" (ghostly). You never fight King Neptune's people... only Ghosts sadly. ⚫No "coop". Which is a damn shame. I get it though... but if this was coop this would have been amazing. ⚫For £34.99 I'd expect my game to be a bit longer to be fair. What I am saying is, it's a little short. [h1][b] My Verdict/TL;DR [/b][/h1] SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is a much better game than Cosmic Shake, in my honest opinion. It was an absolute blast from start to finish. Better combat, better platforming, seamless character switching with great mechanics, good exploration... what can I say? I personally loved Titans of the Tide! The only things that let it down a little is the fact it does nothing to truly innovate the 3D platformer genre (for a new game of course). No coop is a bummer, length and price of the game could be a bit longer and less expensive and the enemy variety could be better. After that's said - I would recommend Titans of the Tide to any SpongeBob fan as this game was fun, funny and that "SONG" just made collecting worth it! [h1][b] 8/10! SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is a much better experience than Cosmic Shake! [/b][/h1]

Awsome, F.U.N and funny and crazy, I playing 120fps and 4K resolution.

This is actually an exceptional modern puzzle platformer with plenty of nostalgia and fanfare. My four year old son loves to watch me play it while we explore and try on different costumes for Spongebob and Patrick. You can catch jellyfish, make Krabby Patties, find treasure chests, and do side quests. The gameplay involves switching back and forth between the two characters, each with their own abilities. Fans of all ages will find some joy in this.

Just as charming as Cosmic Shake with the same simple satisfying platforming yet way too overpriced for its super short length, only 10-12 hours required for 100%. Same goes for the DLC but overall perfectly silly game

Best SpongeBob game but I did the final boss battle about 7 times before realising there was a glitch I couldn’t get past. DNFd 😭

This is a great game. It's the best game based on SpongeBob. If you're a developer and you're reading this review, please take note of what I'm saying. You've done a great job by allowing players to switch between characters quickly and dynamically. The levels have become more expansive, offering more opportunities. This multi-faceted freedom of action and dynamic movement is truly impressive. Keep up the good work. but. YOU ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS! The sound and music in the game are very poorly made. Especially during cutscenes. The music is also very poor during boss battles. The bosses are also very boring. The only decent boss is the squirrel monster Sandy. The other bosses are just boring nonsense. In future games, make bosses that can be fought like the squirrel monster Sandy. The mini-games are also very boring. if you make the next game about sponge bob. then make it about the very first full-length cartoon about sponge bob from 2004. I think you can make a great game in your style and with a new modern vibe

They brought back Kassandra, my love. I like how they dimmed the vibrancy compared to the previous games. The movement is also solid compared to Cosmic Shake. Exploring feels rewarding as there's always something to find around every other corner. Though maybe too much to find. When 100%ing it there were chests in places that had me scratching my head as to how anyone would have found it without looking it up or accidentally meeting the requirements to having them appear. The reward for finding all the TV's is pretty good too. There's some slackjaw mouthbreather in the reviews talking about how he beat this game in 5 hours. While I don't think this game is long enough to warrant a $40 price tag, there's no chance you're beating this game in 5 hours unless you're rushing through and skipping all the collectables in a game where collecting is half of it. Get this game on sale, but take your time to explore if you want the full experience.
