    This was a pleasant surprise. Although I never played the original BFBB as a kid. I did play the sequel which was The Movie Game. I was hoping for a Movie Game Remake. But I can understand, that it was probably better to a new game. But as the 4th game in the BFBB series, it surprisingly stacks up well. But I can't help but feel that it doesn't go that much above it's peers. The problem isThis was a pleasant surprise. Although I never played the original BFBB as a kid. I did play the sequel which was The Movie Game. I was hoping for a Movie Game Remake. But I can understand, that it was probably better to a new game. But as the 4th game in the BFBB series, it surprisingly stacks up well. But I can't help but feel that it doesn't go that much above it's peers. The problem is that like the other games in this series, people who enjoy SpongeBob are the ones who is will get the most out of this game. At it core, it's a pretty good platformer. But is nothing outstanding. Another issue is that it also doesn't really brings any improvements that BFBB sequels had. Like the upgrade system from The Movie Game. In fact it even sort of regress from BFBB. The collectables are just used for costumes. They are not tied to progression or even again the upgrade systems from The Movie Game. What's worse is that Patrick and Sandy are not playable. I know they weren't as fleshed out as SpongeBob in BFBB. But The Movie Game addressed that issue. Sandy was removed, but they made Patrick more fleshed in that game. But in defense, they did give SpongeBob more abilities to make up for that. These abilities are really fun to use. I even like they are some shortcuts you can take if you think outside the box. The levels are very fun and creative. This game clearly has a lot of effort put into it. But despite it's simplicity, I couldn't put this game down. The only real issue here is that there are some bugs and some poorly thought out moments. It is definitely worth playing if you like SpongeBob.… Expand

    I personally going to give it a 8, it feels like alot of filler. But other than that. Don't trust game critics, this game added a lot of stuff and small missions to do to keep you playing. It looks more clean and is extremely smooth. It's a major upgrade from battle of bikini bottom.

    While the main campaign of SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: THE COSMIC SHAKE was quite enjoyable, it felt lacking in many areas.

This is the only positive unfortunately because the fun cast of characters is actually only okay.
    To start with the negatives, I actually lied about there being a gambling mini game, there is none. This is a major blow to me as a spongbob fan as we all know spongebob is well known for his horrible gamlbing addiction.
    Overall, it's a fine return to form but lacks in certain areas that could be improved in the next game. Prime example: gun play is overall lacking and the weapon balance really needs to be adjusted more often in order to compensate for causal and competitive play. Still better than the previous entry, Spongebob Aquarepants: Truth or Square. but needs to be enhanced further.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game! It fixed most of the errors of the first part. I also really liked the fact that there is no need to look for shovels scattered throughout the location for plot advancement. The graphics have become much better compared to the first part. The music has also become more complex and advanced, I can't help but praise the developers for it. And yes, finally SpongeBob is fighting with someone normal, and not with robots (already tired of so many games). As for the disadvantages: it was disappointing that you can only control SpongeBob. Due to the reduced number of playable characters, SpongeBob becomes too strong and pumped up compared to the first part (looks a little silly) In particular, I can attribute the number of locations to the disadvantages. I think it would be possible to do one or two more. Well, as it is, the game is beautiful, head and shoulders above the first part. And I personally thank the developers for the release on the Nintendo Switch platform)… Expand

    The game is simple. The story is also fun with perky dialogues. The money system is totally useless. But there is a bunch of problems with the camera. Also movement with riding or sliding are jerky at best. That gets annoying with the more you play. The prehistoric world wasn't well designed.

    Не рекомендую. И вот почему.
    Плюсы игры:
    -красивая картинка -оптимизация (steam deck не сосет) И это все! Минусы: -скучные бои -скучные миры -нет челенджа -нет юмора -примитивно и однообразно Если сравнить с недавним ремейком Битвы Бикини боттома, то это провал. Там было все, отличное начало, яркие и интересные поиски секретов, юмор и желание возвращаться в игру. Здесь это нет, поэтому    Не рекомендую. И вот почему.

    虽然《海绵宝宝：宇宙震动》的主要战役非常令人愉快，但在很多方面都感觉欠缺。 首先，它有一个非常深入和复杂的赌博迷你游戏，您可以在其中与帕特里克和您在旅途中遇到的许多其他有趣的演员一起玩扑克。 不幸的是，这是唯一的积极因素，因为角色的有趣演员实际上还可以。
    首先从负面开始，我实际上撒谎说有一个赌博迷你游戏，没有。 作为海绵宝宝的粉丝，这对我来说是一个重大打击，因为我们都知道海绵宝宝以其可怕的赌博成瘾而闻名。
    总的来说，这是一次不错的状态回归，但在下一场比赛中还存在一些可以改进的地方。 最好的例子：枪支玩法总体上缺乏，武器平衡确实需要更频繁地调整，以弥补休闲和竞技游戏的不足。 仍然比之前的条目更好，海绵宝宝：真相或广场。 但需要进一步加强。    虽然《海绵宝宝：宇宙震动》的主要战役非常令人愉快，但在很多方面都感觉欠缺。 首先，它有一个非常深入和复杂的赌博迷你游戏，您可以在其中与帕特里克和您在旅途中遇到的许多其他有趣的演员一起玩扑克。 不幸的是，这是唯一的积极因素，因为角色的有趣演员实际上还可以。

    SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake takes a different look at the SpongeBob multiverse and while doing this, it manages to bring the old generation platform - adventure games to the new generation with improved controls.

    That would be unfair to call SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake a bad game. Compared to the previous games, I think it would be more accurate to call it "soulless" rather than "bad". You're not surprised by this though, because every sailor knows that 4/4 string ostinato in D minor means death.

    Altogether, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake feels like it’s exactly in line with what the cartoon has become. The humour isn’t quite what it used to be, the characters are flanderisations of their original counterparts, and the plot is just too weird that it probably won’t appeal to older fans. But the children will love it.
