![]() They brought up that the game has a lot of small jokes, as well as some references that fans of the show will love. This is despite “a few hiccups and disappointing aspects” of the game. Gamespot, who also gave the game a 70, said that the game, at its core, achieved its goals. According to them, the features gave a “fresh feeling” that break through the possible “monotonous routine of fighting the same… enemy repeatedly.” Moving higher up, ScreenRant gave the game a score of 70, calling the game a “fun platformer for all ages.” According to them the game “provides players with the feeling of a classic 3D-platformer, using enjoyable game mechanics and gradually increasing difficulty that then throws the popular Nickelodeon characters right in the center of it all.” The variety of game mechanics within each level was something they found interesting. However, it wasn't anything they considered groundbreaking, just better than the rest of the game. They did mention, however, that the boss battles at the end of each level were something that they felt was unique. IGN mentioned that the game's mechanics did not age well and that the developers did not do anything new to the formula. IGN, who gave the game a score of 50, said that the “barebones platformer manages to be surprisingly boring despite its SpongeBob-infused charm.” They specifically brought up the game's platforming (“becomes irksomely repetitive within a few minutes”) and combat (“without anything to meaningfully differentiate the first battle from the last”). They did, however, say that it was still a pretty fun game. They specifically mentioned the lack of multiple playable characters as one of the disappointing points of the game. Kotaku, for example, said in their review that it “isn't quite the sequel to Battle For Bikini Bottom that wanted.” Kotaku didn't give a score for the game but did mention that although the game does have “good jokes and pretty levels”, it “leaves out a lot too”. ![]() While this may seem like a mean way to describe the game, various other websites have basically said the same thing, just not as straightforward. The reviewer called the game a “lazy, generic platformer” that had “five hours of content that feels like it was made by people who watched some footage of a bad 90s platformer and decided that was how they wanted to proceed”. This is the lowest out of all the aggregated review scores for the game. After checking the possible cause for this low score, I saw that PureXbox gave it a low score of 40. The version did a little better at 71, however, the Xbox One received the lowest at 67. The Switch version of the game had a score of 73, while the PlayStation 4 version got a 70. ![]() However, the aggregated score for each of them isn't all that good. Metacritic keeps separate scores for each platform this game came out in. It would appear, however, that this might not be the case. When news of Cosmic Shake came out, eyes were on it with people wondering if it would be a good successor to the classic. Although SpongeBob doesn't seem like it could be a big game, Battle for Bikini Bottom became a cult classic and is still going strong today. Unlike Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, which was a 2020 remake of a 2003 cult classic, Cosmic Shake is a brand new game and story. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Review Scores: 67-71 on Metacritic The question is, was it successful in doing so? Let's go through what critics think of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake based on their reviews, as well as the scores they gave the game.
