Games I Dislike That Everybody Else Likes
Sure, let's just take one of the greatest 3D Platformer Collectathons ever created and make it play objectively worse than it did nearly 20 years and two console generations ago with one of the clunkiest, spazziest, glitchiest, least intuitive game engines in recent memory. And hey, let's also make the art style look like Halloween candy barf and promise a ton of cut content we didn't deliver on (save for a thoroughly shitty, puny multiplayer mode that barely qualifies as anything)! Gotta love how Nickelodeon rushed this game to come out alongside The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run and then when the movie got delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic this still had to come out at the previous date well over HALF A YEAR before the movie was even released (with a quiet whimper, by the way) so the rush was somehow, against all odds even more pointless than it would have been before. This is all not to mention them making the difficulty for - what I can only assume to be - actual babies. Fundamentally shit, but the only reason it isn't rated any lower is because the bones of that original experience are still here somewhere - under bugs and terrible mechanics and stupid meme callbacks it's at least able to be recognized a little. The God-tier music of its predecessor is present mostly untouched, the humorous writing and voice acting still stands (including the hilariously scuffed Krabs that I've grown to love), and the classic mission design is kept intact. It fails at everything it set out to achieve, granted - but hey there are worse things to be than a reminder to go out and play the original instead.
