    Rehydrated is a wonderful remake of an incredibly fun game. The humor and joyful platforming will have you smiling ear to ear, even if the game has more than a few technical problems.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is a fun and simple platform game that will delight fans of the series and will appeal to those who are not and want something interesting related to this genre. This remake looks good but does not solve some camera and framerate issues.

    Even with its many imperfections, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated ultimately succeeds as an attempt to spruce up a 17-year old game. It doesn’t stand alongside the 3D platforming greats, but it’s a fantastic, humour-filled tribute to a beloved show. People less familiar with the yellow sea sponge’s exploits will find it harder to overlook the creaky, PlayStation 2-era quirks. It looks better, but that doesn’t mean it plays better than it did 17 years ago.

    It’s completely for the fans. Speaking as one of those fans, I think that’s really admirable and despite some late-game annoyances and sound design flaws, I found Battle For Bikini Bottom absolutely worth going back for. Nostalgia may be a powerful tool, but this game is still worthy of your time regardless.

    This game is exactly what lifelong SpongeBob fan hoped it would be. For observant players, there are tons of nods to the show, and the humor and charm of SpongeBob shines through brilliantly. If you were to remove the SpongeBob license from it though, the game would be just "good enough." It's competently made but falls short of greatness. Ultimately, SpongeBob fanatics and hardcore platforming fans won't want to miss this release, but otherwise, you need not rush to get it.

    Rehydrated makes an argument that, if you’re going to remake something beloved, it’s not worth taking any half-measures. Rehydrated’s revisit of the iconic SpongeBob platformer often does just that. Rather than addressing any of the real issues with Battle for Bikini Bottom that could have been tweaked without ruining the spirit of the original, it leaves history intact at the cost of making this a better game – and its problems have only become more noticeable with age and increased competition. There are bright spots that remain fun almost two decades later, and there are pops of ingenuity in its reworking, but it does little to stand alongside the best, or even the pretty good, platformer remakes and remasters we’ve seen this generation.

Yes, it runs not perfectly on the Switch, but for amount of content in this game, it's truly amazing how devs can accomplish that on a weak Switch hardware. Easily one of the best 3D platformers and one of the best games in 2020. Way better than The Last of Us Part 2.… Expand

    , I would like to state that I have not played the original Battle for Bikini Bottom. Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, I would like to state that I have not played the original Battle for Bikini Bottom. Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is an excellent 3D platformed that suffers a lot from sloppy coding and poor use of the very powerful Unreal Engine. Each level of this game is well crafted and offers a lot to do with many side quests that actually feel rewarding. The controls, although clunky at times, are pretty solid and are better than most other games in its genre. The game's main collectibles, Golden Spatula's, are very scarcFirstlye but rewarding and not to difficult to get your hands on. Earlier on in the game, I found myself clipping into the sides of objects and being stuck for multiple seconds and a buddy of mine had an issue where his whole screen would go black and the only way to fix it was to restart his game. Not only did the black screen glitch happen once, but it happened twice. My only other complaint about the game is that the game takes between 10 and 20 seconds to respawn you after you die or when you are loading into a new level. This is almost unbearable and I hope that, if anything gets patched, its this. Overall, the game is a very sold experience and is the best 3D platformer since Super Mario: Odyssey. I would recommend this to fans of the genre and people who enjoy lighthearted, casual fun.… Expand
