For instance, we care about hours over money. Many new AAA games have similar costs, which is why we value the experience of playing more than price comparisons. We don’t value grinding and fetch quests as much as games that make the most out of every level. We also care about the in-game narrative more than most. If the world of a video game is rich enough to foster sociological theories about its government and character backstories, it’s a game we won’t be able to stop thinking about, no matter its price or popularity. We won’t punch down. We won’t evaluate an indie game in the same way we will evaluate a AAA game that’s produced by a team of thousands. We review games based on what’s available in our consoles at the time. For instance, we won’t hold it against a video game if its online mode isn’t perfect at launch. And finally, we have very little tolerance for junk science.

It’s a solid execution on a game that has only grown with popularity since its release. For those ‘90s kids out there, it offers a moment of relaxation, a short break to slip back to a time that was a bit easier than now. Much like SpongeBob, I need it.","2025-02-08T09:18:23.632884-05:00",{"id":31,"logo":637,"name":638,"slug":639,"tags":155,"bluesky":16,"twitter":639,"youtube":640,"facebook":639,"mastodon":16,"muckrack":16,"claimed_at":16,"description":641,"website_url":642,"score_format":45,"average_score":159,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":16,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":643,"news_editor_email":644,"platforms_covered":16,"claimed_by_user_id":16,"reviews_this_month":49,"active_authors_count":49,"headquarters_country":256,"reviews_editor_email":645,"editor_in_chief_email":646,"published_authors_count":49,"published_reviews_count":49},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FShackNews-Logo.jpg","ShackNews","shacknews","Shacknewsgames","Gaming News on the Cutting Edge of Technology.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shacknews.com\u002F","Canton, OH","tj.denzer@shacknews.com","bill.lavoy@shacknews.com","asif.khan@shacknews.com",{"id":648,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":649,"author":650,"original_score":500,"normalized_score":139,"review_url":656,"review_date":657,"summary":658,"created_at":655,"updated_at":655,"author_id":651,"last_edited_at":410,"outlet":659},22871,26,{"id":651,"bio":16,"name":652,"avg_score":653,"outlet_id":16,"created_at":654,"profile_id":16,"updated_at":655,"claim_token":16,"article_count":290,"claimed_by_user_id":16},2786,"JosephYaden",67.5,"2024-12-04T07:10:57.600363-05:00","2024-12-04T07:13:25.167662-05:00","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameskinny.com\u002Freviews\u002Fspongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated-review-shallow-fun\u002F","2020-06-21","SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated hits you with nostalgia, but that's not enough to carry it forward in 2020.",{"id":649,"logo":660,"name":661,"slug":662,"tags":663,"bluesky":16,"twitter":664,"youtube":665,"facebook":664,"mastodon":16,"muckrack":16,"claimed_at":16,"description":666,"website_url":667,"score_format":45,"average_score":111,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":16,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":16,"news_editor_email":668,"platforms_covered":16,"claimed_by_user_id":16,"reviews_this_month":49,"active_authors_count":49,"headquarters_country":16,"reviews_editor_email":668,"editor_in_chief_email":668,"published_authors_count":49,"published_reviews_count":49},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSkinny-logo.png","Game Skinny","game-skinny","[  \n  'independent',\n  'inactive',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","GameSkinny","@gameskinny4737","Video game guides, reviews, news, and culture.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameskinny.com","N\u002FA",{"id":670,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":402,"author":671,"original_score":254,"normalized_score":327,"review_url":677,"review_date":678,"summary":679,"created_at":680,"updated_at":680,"author_id":672,"last_edited_at":681,"outlet":682},72570,{"id":672,"bio":16,"name":673,"avg_score":674,"outlet_id":402,"created_at":675,"profile_id":16,"updated_at":676,"claim_token":16,"article_count":406,"claimed_by_user_id":16},5606,"Jonathon Dornbush",83.25,"2025-02-06T08:55:44.864528-05:00","2025-02-06T21:04:50.56678-05:00","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002Fspongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated-review","2000-01-01","SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated makes an argument that, if you’re going to remake something beloved, it’s not worth taking any half-measures. Rehydrated’s revisit of the iconic SpongeBob platformer often does just that. Rather than addressing any of the real issues with Battle for Bikini Bottom that could have been tweaked without ruining the spirit of the original, it leaves history intact at the cost of making this a better game – and its problems have only become more noticeable with age and increased competition. There are bright spots that remain fun almost two decades later, and there are pops of ingenuity in its reworking, but it does little to stand alongside the best, or even the pretty good, platformer remakes and remasters we’ve seen this generation.","2025-02-06T09:03:10.050364-05:00","2025-02-06T11:06:36.2819-05:00",{"id":402,"logo":683,"name":684,"slug":685,"tags":415,"bluesky":686,"twitter":684,"youtube":687,"facebook":684,"mastodon":16,"muckrack":16,"claimed_at":16,"description":688,"website_url":689,"score_format":45,"average_score":159,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":16,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":690,"news_editor_email":16,"platforms_covered":16,"claimed_by_user_id":16,"reviews_this_month":49,"active_authors_count":49,"headquarters_country":256,"reviews_editor_email":16,"editor_in_chief_email":16,"published_authors_count":49,"published_reviews_count":49},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","ign","ign.com","@IGN","We're all about video games, movies, TV, and comics!","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","Los Angeles"]
