This may be a kids-oriented game, where the target playerbase is the 8+ kids. Most SpongeBob fans are between 20 and 30 years old in 2026. Kids these days are into Roblox and Fortnite, that kind of brainrot stuff. No kid is going to buy and play this game. So it really doesn't make sense to make a 3d platformer this easy and mindless. So I think the target audience and the game design are very wrong in this series.


This is the best one of the trilogy, gameplay-wise. It carries on the mechanics from the previous games and adds to them. But it really is very basic, and level design doesn't urge you to use all the mechanics in a challenging way. The story doesn't feel like a SpongeBob episode; it's just not fun for most of the time. Voice acting and the animations are great.


SpongeBob games have to up a level in terms of quality, budget, gameplay, mechanics, game design, writing... In short, everything. Because even though this is the best one of the trilogy, it's still pretty mediocre and feels like a cash grab. That's really sad, coming from a SpongeBob fan who played every single game. If you guys don't feel like you can do a great 3D platformer, just do an open-world-ish game, like The Simpsons: Hit and Run. It can turn out great with the potential of SpongeBob. Please no meh next time, I am tired of waiting for an amazing SpongeBob game.

8.5/10 我说白了 就方方面面的 都做的挺好的 我说白了 堪比任天堂一线产品了。你要是说就楞挑毛病 我说白了 那只能说低幼了就咱就是说属于是啊我说白了

They did it. They actually did it. THQ has perfected the Krabby Patty secret game formula.

It honestly is such an amazing thing to see, after playing the BFBB remaster and Cosmic Shake (which I still greatly enjoyed and endured), but fundamentally and objectively, Titans of the Tide is basically the Triple A lovestory to Spongebob that he always deserved.

The controls are immensely responsive and perfectly tuned. Compared to the jank of the last two titles, that feel like you really are playing a PS2 game, this game feels modern in the best way. The smoothness of the controls, how quickly the inputs render immediate results, as well as supremely improved visuals (going from good, to amazing, to perfection in this trilogy), the game even improves all of the mechanics, old and new.

Titans of the Tide is visually stunning. The Unreal engine is often used to make unrelentlingly realistic, but glossy and overdone, uninspired renderings. But THQ has proved that it can work wonders for bringing immense graphic fidelity to a hyper stylized game. Honestly, for the gaming industry, this is like when they first started doing cell-shaded graphics. This game emulates the show's animation perfectly and with some extra, movie-quality polish on top of it all. It is funny, but this game looks better than the Spongebob Netflix 3d films.

Graphic design is at an all time peak. The levels retain a lot of challenge, while still rewarding exploration and re-exploring areas once new abilities are gained. I find the set pieces of Cosmic Shake to be a bit better, but honestly, Titans of the Tide feels so fresh and original, even when its putting a literal new coat of paint over a BFBB map (complete with a rehauled music track being remade).

I still am amazed by the terrain effects in sand, as created by Patrick's borrowing ability. Speaking of which, both Spongebob and Patrick get so much love and gameplay additions, combined with the ability to near-seamlessly transition between the both of them. This results in some incredibly addicting platforming, racing and boss battles that are deeply inspired and fundamentally interesting. Literally, these are the best bosses I have faced in a game since the Batman Arkham Quadrilogy.

Compared to previous titles, the music is pretty chill and laid back, it does not always fit the gameplay unfortunately. That being said, some of the tracks are legendary and when it all comes together, it comes together perfectly. The synergy between the style, gameplay, mechanics, music and animations really proves that THQ is rebuilding its titan-legacy on more than just nostalgia.

A spectacular plot that feels like an elongated television special from the shows' best years, the entire cast playing some role or the other, retains the Spongebob identity perfectly and with a full heart. Not only that, the THQ trademarks of their own original characters returning is alive and well, this time with Lady Kassandra over Prawn.

Interestingly, Mermaid Mindy, the heir to Atlantis and King Neptune's daughter from the Spongebob Movie, has a brief cameo here. I have no idea where this game and the post Season 3 Spongebob series takes place. Is the Spongebob Movie the true finale? Did King Neptune start balding and lost his physique just before it? Or is everything a post-movie and that was just a bad spot in his life? Who knows...

My theory is that they opted to keep the original, buff King Neptune to hide the fact they are totally remastering the Movie game next, a dream come true. The DLC costumes seem to almost confirm this and there are some elements in the DLC that outright show they are totally working on it.

Hype.

The game is a tad shorter than the previous entries, but the Plankton DLC challenges will add another decent bundle of hours to the masochists that want to challenge themselves. Neptune knows I do not have the strength to do all of them, considering I even struggled more than I would like to admit on the final slides.

THQ, give us the Spongebob Mvoie Game remake and my life is yours!
