Battle for Bikini Bottom is a game i have always held dearly to me as it was the first game i had ever played.
Recently it has become a tradition for me to 100% the game once a year to celebrate the game that stated my love for video games.

Needless to say when this game's remake known as Rehydrated was announced i was very hyped for this game. now that the game is out i have some mixed feelings overall.

First lets just cut straight to the chase. This game looks fantastic, Each level has been pumped full of life and it was worth playing through just to see the sights of Bikini Bottom like this. The extra animations for dialogue also help let certain jokes land better and it brought a smile to my face many times~!

Another addition was some move tweaks to the cast of playable characters. In the original i always felt like when ever i was forced to play as Sandy and Patrick i would be annoyed by their more limited movesets. However in Rehydrated almost all my problems from the casts movesets have been fixed, Patrick, who in the original I disliked playing as the most, can now attack in midair which helps him fight certain robots he had trouble with in the original. Likewise Sandy now has the ability to lasso robots and tiki's in midair which helps when fighting "G-love" robots. Even Spongebob the one who's moveset worked perfectly fine got the ability to bubble bash in mid air after one jump.

With all this said i have two main issues with the game, and this is where the whole Mixed opinions come in.
My first issue is the high amount of bugs that occurred during my playthough was very distracting and the other Issue is with how the "Added cut content" thing was handled. i won't lie i do sorta feel lied to as the single player mode is completely the same, No beta Patrick dream, No Robot Squidward, No missing phase of the final boss readded. Nothing. i can't help but be bummed out as this was one of the things i was most looking forward to. Instead any "Cut content" has been lazily throw into one of the worst mutiplayer modes i have ever seen. its a huge missed opportunity as you don't even fight the Squidward robot it's self.
That mutiplayer mode is awful... Just awful...

i could yell about BfBB and Rehydrated for hours but you get the point
As it stands i still believe the original shines brighter as the more polished version however Rehydrated is still great and i still can't believe this game was made~
Hopefully with some patches to the bugs this game will become better then it already is

PS. WHY PURPLE LAMP DID YOU REPLACE THE CONCEPT ART IN THE THEATER WITH RANDOM ASS SCREEN SHOTS FROM IN GAME I DID NOT JUST GRIND FOR 40,000 SHINY OBJECTS FOR 5 STUPID SCREENSHOTS
[This has since been changed thank god]

So where to begin...

When this game was first shown off i was a bit skeptical but soon enough i found myself really excited for this game.

Finally it came out on the consoles and i bought it, i was super excited to be able to play and make tons of friends playing one of my favorite series on the big consoles. Though i ended up disappointed. the mutiplayer would almost never work and i spent most of my time in Solo, i ended up droping this game alot faster then i had hoped on console.

Soon enough i got myself a new good gaming PC and ended up getting hyped again for this game on PC and here are my thoughts.

Monster hunter world overall is probly the best Monster hunter yet. The game improves countless things over the other monster hunters and overall makes it easier to get into for newcomers.

The game has a huge emphasis on its story, something the other games lacked and honestly, I did not care at all for the story or any of the characters i met. Though i did enjoy some of the cutsceens that played when meeting a monster for the first time. Though i wish i could skip some of the cutsceens, since i was playing though a second time.

As someone who has played since Monster hunter 3 TRI on Wii Seeing monster hunter with this level of graphics is stunning. everything feels so alive, you can see and catch all sorts of tiny creatures within the world giving the world a extra feel of life. This game really benifets being on Pc and newer consoles One of the biggest changes in this game is the map being one huge area instead of being small areas put together by load screens this adds so much to the world feeling more real and alive in so many ways

The game brings many qulity of life changes that all come together to make the best Monster hunter experience such as not having to stop to pick up items such as herbs or honey which made me want to grab stuff now. Being able to see where items spawned on your map, so even if you dont have any honey you could easily know where stuff is. being able to move well drinking potions, having a wishlist for armor that tells you if you get a resorse you needed for that shiny new armor you wanted to craft and so on. There is so much stuff that i dont think i could list all the improvements, but just know it really pulls together the experience.

For anyone who has been looking into this series for awile now but was never able to get into it i highly recommend it to you.
