A Hat in Time is a cute-as-heck 3D platformer featuring a little girl who stitches hats for wicked powers! Freely explore giant worlds and recover Time Pieces to travel to new heights!
A Hat in Time is a hugely enjoyable take on the classic 3D platformer. The tight, familiar controls and varied, innovative levels result in one of the most fascinating and entertaining games out there. The issues with performance and the camera do little to wipe the smile from our faces while playing through this; if you adore the likes of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, then you'll fall utterly in love with A Hat in Time.
A Hat in Time lacks polish, but it makes up for its shortcomings with excellent platforming and a universe I was happy to be part of.
A Hat in Time excels with an overwhelming charm in its writing and art direction that overcomes any missteps in these areas. Its core, smooth mechanics also benefit from promising ideas, but none of them prevent the game from being pulled into a wormhole of mediocre level design and objectives. The potential for phenomenal platforming and exploration is here, but for every positive, there seems to be a negative in A Hat in Time.
This is a game that, despite its derivative nature, manages to delight in the details enough to make me remember why I loved the games that inspired it to begin with.
An adorable homage to the heyday of 3D platformers that manages to pull a few fun tricks from its hat.
A creative, playful, and polished tribute to 3D collectathons.
You fight a toilet in A Hat in Time. It's a boss fight, too; it's actually quite tough to put that toilet down for good…
Despite a lackluster beginning, A Hat in Time is a charming 3D platformer full of heart.
