Critic Reviews for SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game
Though the controls could be difficult for young children due to the physics involved, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game is designed to be fun for everyone, and it would certainly be hard to be depressed while in this bright world.
An open world sandbox that lets you run free around Bikini Bottom, there's plenty of fun to be had in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game. It's packed with minigames and activities, but it's just a shame the whole experience feels rather rough.
Vibrant and silly, SpongeBob SquarePants: Patrick Star's Game is unpretentious and sometimes sloppy, but it embraces the innocent chaos of a character as beloved as the protagonist of the franchise. The title gives the player freedom to make a real inconsequential mess through Bikini Bottom, especially if he is a creative child.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game feels like another excuse to cash in on the SpongeBob name. The game doesn't do anything offensive, but it's so barebones that it doesn't even really feel like a complete experience, particularly for seasoned gamers. If you absolutely have to try anything with the animated sponge's name on it, then frolicking around in Jellyfish Fields for a few hours or so could be fun - but otherwise, don't bother. It's probably worth just booting up Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated again if you're in the mood for some SpongeBob gaming in your life!
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game is the funniest game of the year with its hilarious open-ended gameplay that's sure to crack you up. ⭐
The Patrick Star Game is an open-world adventure designed primarily for children, developed by PHL Collective and published by Outright Games. The game is set in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe and puts Patrick Star at the centre of the action, offering a chaotic and fun experience full of humour typical of the series. Visually colourful and with an attention to detail, the title captures the carefree atmosphere of Bikini Bottom, accompanied by a playful soundtrack and original voices. However, the gameplay, while offering challenges and mini-games, can be repetitive with an unstructured progression. The physics engine is a key element, but not without flaws. Nevertheless, younger gamers will appreciate the freedom it offers and the chaos that comes with it, making The Patrick Star Game an accessible and fun product for its target audience.

Patrick's first own video game is definitely not a total failure, but it can hardly do justice to its legendary original. If you can get used to the weaknesses of the title and just want to have wild fun, you can still take a look here. Especially for younger gaming fans, it is a nice pastime.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game turned out to be exactly what we were waiting for. A colorful reinterpretation of Goat Simulator, a sandbox adventure with no real purpose other than to sow chaos and revel in witty activities. Compared to its source of inspiration, PHL Collective's work brakes on the side of insanity and leans toward a very young audience. A hoot, however, that proves to be within everyone's reach, provided one accepts the modesty of the aspirations as well as the restrained nature of the experience. If you have always dreamed of driving the chaotic Patrick through the streets of Bikini Bottom, this is your chance!
