TL;DR : Your kid will enjoy this game. You probably won't.
I gave up upon getting mid-way into the second level. It's just so linear. There's nothing really new, it's a basic 3D platformer with Spongebob's universe plastered on it. The controls aren't satisfying at all, and I often fought with them to make Spongebob do what I wanted him to do.
There's no reasons to farm the ressources other than to unlock costumes. The collectibles only allow you to unlock even more costumes. The game has a whole 'We couldn't finish in time' vibe, which is saddening and is seemingly becoming a norm nowadays.
The rhythm of the game and jokes just feels... off. It's as if they made this game thinking this was just another Spongebob episode. Which makes some interactions just so clanky.
One perfect example is a random fish PNJ saying 'Oh boy, they sure beat me up bad!', then cut to the famous overly detailed pictures that we can get in the show, without any sound, music or any kind of ambiance. The frame stays on until you actually press on a button. It's just so incredibly off.
It's visually enjoyable however, and I'd even dare to say charming. My sister is having a blast with the game. But I won't.
