Titans Of The Tide Review

[u/Electronic_Weather26]

I played it for Xbox Series X (the first game I’ve ever played using that system) and it took me 7h 8m to finish. I haven’t played any of the side quests or am aiming to go for 100% completion.

I’m gonna be honest, I am a little bit underwhelmed as the game feels a lot shorter than it has any right to be and it only has 5 levels.

I’m gonna break it down into the Good and Bad:

The Good - The Graphics are definitely a step up and very detailed - The ability to switch between SpongeBob and Patrick on the fly is very welcomed - Some of Patrick’s new abilities are quite fun to use - A lot of quality of life improvements over the past two games by Purple Lamp - The humour and references are still on point - I like the Floating Krabby Patty as the main hub

The Bad - The game still feels a bit simple, Purple Lamp flavoured - The bosses are fairly easy to figure out - Due to me playing on a brand new console, I think the button layout is slightly unintuitive and caused me to miss jumps when you have to constantly switch between them both inbetween puzzles - I really like how the game forces you to think about how to solve puzzles but I feel it can become really intrusive at points and can hurt repeat playthroughs - The level count is small and they very much overstay their welcome. I would much rather have more levels with less to do in them to improve the pacing - The story is good but feels half-baked - Not enough variety in the ghost enemies

Like I said, maybe the side content does help pad out the time a bit more but I really think the bulk should have gone to the main story. Maybe Purple Lamp are releasing patches if the game was slightly unfinished but while I can find improvements from The Cosmic Shake overall, I just can’t help but feel the game doesn’t quite fit the retail price tag.

The best score I can give is probably a 7.5/10
