As I reviewed this game on the PS4 Pro, it’s also worth noting that performance was smooth and consistent across the board. While it’s not obvious, I can also appreciate the light texture work given to each of the three protagonists, which doesn’t seem necessary but ultimately makes sense, given the three dimensional nature of the game compared to the show. Pair this with the fact that dialogue is performed by each of the original voice actors, and it’s clear that Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated nails some sense of authenticity. That being said, visuals this time around pop a lot more than they ever did, with each location falling more in line with an accurate representation of the show, which features brights pinks, greens and yellows at every turn. Think of it as a precursor Super Mario Odyssey players must explore and navigate locations in order to find a certain number of golden spatulas, therefore unlocking the next location.īattle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated feels more like a remaster visually rather than a remake. Krabs, can help those players stay on track with a simplistic mission structure, encouraging exploration rather than confining players to a linear path.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated does little to push the original forward, bringing across gameplay that in 2020 feels tired and uninspired, the curiously uneventful story, and frustratingly aged platform mechanics. So many platformers have gone above and beyond the caliber of game presented here. But in today’s landscape, this may have been a poor choice of title to remaster. In many respects, this version is every bit as good as the original. That said, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated left me disappointed, but not in the way you might think. Here, among so many others, was one to look forward to, for the reason anyone looks forward to any remake: I have many fond memories of the original PS2/Xbox version. Upon its reveal, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom stood out in a sea of remakes and remasters.
