A Hat in Time reviews

A Hat in Time is the platformer that many have waiting on for two console generations.

Taking clear inspiration from GameCube/XBOX/PlayStation 2 platformer, this project from indie studio Gears for Breakfast triumphs at each different gameplay style it tries - From interesting and entertaining characters (Snatcher is an obvious favourite, but the two director birds in the second chapter are also wonderful. They feel like they were pulled from LittleBigPlanet 1 and given voices, which is a great thing), to unique scenes (a restaurant in a casino, a murder mystery), this game is a shining example of how to make an engaging and unique modern entry into a genre that's often seen as dated.

Kicked Yooka-Laylee's ass. 9/10. One of the best games I've played in a while. If you're looking for a collect-a-thon game, look no further.

Chapter 4 is a little meh but other than that, this game oozes charm.
I got a blast, while playing this game! It's so handcrafted and heartwarming that I count hours when I can play it. I miss that feeling for a long time.



Basically this is mix of many 3D Mario's but Hat in Time cuts everything slow and repeating. Every mission is unique and change levels, interface and rules again and again. Damn, counting for details takes forever so just take my word, even loading screen for each mission is orginal artwork.






BTW cause it indie game and it doesnt have huge supervisor — sometimes shows cute stuff like victim with a knife in their back, alcohol in childs room, slavery and many more.




Its not that obvious from visuals but almost all characters here is bad guys. But don't worry, its never goes out of control and game stays on friendly wave.



Saddly, game ends very fast. I NEED more! Hat girl, dont' go T_T!
