3D platfotmers have made a comeback in 2017. Developed by Gears for Breakfast, A Hat in Time is a platformer that starter out on Kickstarter and has made it way across PC and now consoles. Now when you hear "Kickstarter game" you think of delays, unfinished projects, but you're wrong here! There we delays, some development hell, but the extra time they took only made this game more polished and charming that it already is. Collect the Time Pieces, meet interesting characters, and stitch new hats! With lead art by Jenna Brown, this makes for one "cute-as-heck" game.

    Yep. The shitty first experience a lot of people have with Chapter 4 is an example of it. Definitely the least well designed level in nearly every regard despite being much more enjoyable when replayed. If the game had 5 chapters, the 5th would probably have been terrible. Especially considering Chapter 4 was made in place of a scrapped desert chapter people weren't interested in.

    A Hat in Time deserves to have OVER ONE MILLION SOLD UNITS, because it is a worthy contender to contemporary video game characters in both personality and gameplay!!! A lot of people are dismissing this game for JonTron's SINGLE APPEARANCE, the game's indie game status, and the use of the Unreal Engine for its graphics. A Hat in Time focuses on world building (through its set pieces and dialogue), an integration of both light and dark humor, and intuitive platforming gameplay. Even though there are CURRENTLY only four world (More content is coming :) Yay!!!), characters like the Mafia, the C.A.W. Agents, and the Snatcher force Hat Kid to question the quirky situations, which is an extreme contrast of a lot of 3D platformer games. Hat Kid is cunning, naive, and "deceptively cute", according to KZreadr KingK. She even burned trapped souls without hesitation! The Unreal Engine is no hindrance to the environments, as lifelike shading and textures seem to be applied generously to each polygonal model. Gameplay is explained by every other review. Shout-out to anyone that actually read my rant XD

    And now that the DLC is all out, it brings another layer to the world building, and I'm not sure if they added the new places to the world seen from Hat Kid's spaceship, but each location still feels just as varied and distinguished as before. Add on that they brought an entire map's worth of tough as nails challenges for those who want the extra challenge (and boy does it bring it) and leave open the opportunity for modding, making it as easy as possible, and you can tell the creators really care.

    A Hat in Time is the first game in a long time that I had an active drive to 100%. Before going to the final battle, I collected every Time Piece and Steam achievement I could. Not because I was forcing myself to, but because I truly wanted to. I wanted to see everything this game had to offer, and I'm more than glad that I did. It was an experience unlike any other that I'd had in a long time, a 13-hour playthrough of pure gaming bliss, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice to play this insanely charming platformer masterpiece. A Hat in Time deserves its spot as not only my Game of the Year for 2017, but as one of my favourite games of all time, possibly even number one.

    I'm fairly young, still a teen, and A Hat in Time is probably one of the first 3D Collect-a-thon platformers I've played and it INSTANTLY won a place in my heart last year when I got it. On the first day of getting it I sat on the title screen for a few minutes, listening to the music, and booting up a save file felt so good. This game plays out like a Saturday morning cartoon and I LOVE IT.

    6:04 And you can if you download them off of Imgur. Someone put up every title card from A Hat in Time there. 8:20 In other words, that’s Grant Kirkhope. 13:45 Something I guess Jirard didn’t pick up on, but if you die in a fight, yes you start at the beginning, but each phase of the fight is shortened to get you back to the part of the fight in which you died. Also for those wondering about the achievement you get by fighting a boss with the one-hit badge, no, the Barrel throwing Mafia does not count as a boss despite having the boss icon (believe the Toilet of Doom does though). 14:04 She doesn’t say anything...but she does write things down, and what she writes can kinda change the way one sees certain events through her perspective. She may act adorable, but boy does she have smarminess to spare.

There’s a sense sometimes with Mario fights where you are walking around waiting for the boss to do something, where there’s just nothing happening for a few seconds and you’re waiting for the boss to catch up to you. A Hat In Time’s bosses usually feel more like they are one step ahead, like you’re scrambling to keep up with them. I absolutely adore this game.

In the other games I’ve completed, there usually is nothing that signifies that you’ve put in the time and effort to find and do everything. Sure, medals on the safe files are cool, but I’ve never been rewarded in-game before for going above and beyond the finish line. I really love the simple little addition of the completionst hat, and it is now my new default tophat. (I pair it with the color option called Captain of the Sea because it looks really really good)

    You know, I'm very confused as to why I never subscribed to you. I only buy games I know I'll want to complete, so why wouldn't I want to see a collection of videos telling me the level of fun and difficulty each game has? That's totally up my alley! You, sir, have earned another subscriber! Also, A Hat in Time was an adorable, hilarious, heartwarming, fun-as-heck game! I'm glad you loved it. I'm upset JonTron wasn't removed though. That's basically my only gripe.

    Finish the X series first (Well, maybe not all of them, I don't want to torture Jirard with a certain 3D MMX game)

    A while ago, two of my Steam friends told me to get this game, and so I bought the Ultimate Edition for 62% off, which included all of the DLC, and boy, am I glad I did. The game has a lot of charm. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but when I did, everything I could do, whether it be being able to switch hats on a dime, being able to go faster than if I had the Sprint Cap without using the Sprint Cap, was very satisfying. Sometimes I spend minutes on end just diving around in the Spaceship, listening to the music, and I would even play with my friends because of the Online Party function that comes with the Nyakuza Metro DLC. The only thing I would add to the Online Party system would be a chat feature, which means we have to use Steam chat.
