Critic Reviews for SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide
Despite the pleasantries Titans of the Tide offers that makes it easy breezy and a fair old hoot for SpongeBob fans, you would expect this latest entry to improve on The Cosmic Shake, rather than behaving like a slippery sidestep. Unfortunately, Titans of the Tide is out of its depths because it comes across as an unfinished game that has some sparkling ideas, but the execution is hamstrung by its terrible camera and banal combat, platforming and puzzles. If you want to delve into another SpongeBob game this one might do just fine, but for everybody else Titans of the Tide is a titanic case of meh.
This, combined with a fun but unnecessary chapter and some technical hitches on Switch 2, hold back Titans of the Tide from being the Nickelodeon icon’s best outing yet. That said, if you’re a SpongeBob veteran or someone just seeking a fun adventure for the family, there are times when Titans of the Tide is primed to make a splash.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide isn't going to blow anyone away, but it's a perfectly decent 3D platformer that mostly captures the energy of the show. Swapping between SpongeBob and Patrick is a neat mechanic that's used very well throughout, and levels are big and varied as you explore Bikini Bottom and talk to its populace, all of whom are voiced by the proper cast. It definitely has some rough edges and some soft writing, and it won't win over any SpongeBob detractors, but it's a good all-ages game for both kids and longtime fans.
While SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide isn't particularly challenging, it's well-written, consistently fun and fun enough to be enjoyed by Goofy Goobers, young and old.
Despite its simple and shallow storyline, SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide manages to charm with its fun and nostalgia.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is a wonderfully fun adventure that's sure to be enjoyed by everyone. If nautical nonsense is something you wish, go play this game!
After taking a few steps back with The Cosmic Shake, Titans of the Tide delivers a buoyant dose of nostalgia with a ghoulishly ghost-tinted spin.
