A Hat in Time

This game was a really good platformer and i really liked the design and story. I'd recommend this game to other players because it was really fun and lots of people would enjoy it.

Niche little platformer that no one ever talk about, especially when talking about other platformers no ive never heard someone mention this game ever. 10/10 in like everything this game is great

Started playing this probably about 4 and a half years ago on the nintendo switch. I would certainly recommend this game mainly because of the mods and the community. This is probably obvious but play the main game first before playing or downloading mods from the workshop. I would also recommend getting the DLCs because they're just as fun as the main game.

I love this game. The movement is fun, the hats are cute, and the story is wonderful. That's not to say that this game is perfect though- The performance isn't the best, being oddly laggy on systems that really should be able to run it fine; especially bad on linux. Some of the hats are very situational or just don't have much use to begin with (e.g. the Ice Hat). That being said, it's very fun to explore and collect time pieces through each level. The bosses are engaging and the music is lovely. If you like 3d platformers, this is a must-try.

Excellent, beautiful and pretty funny. Love this game.

Love this game. Great example of what a modern platformer should be. Lots of charm and polish in addition to the stellar gameplay. Also HUGE applause for adding a coop mode (both local and online) as well as a mod browser (allowing you to also play multiplayer on modded maps). The DLC are fantastic as well (Seal the Deal and Nyakuza Metro). This released alongside Mario Odyssey and I think it keeps up with that game. For me, having two high tier platformers at the same time was amazing.

[h1]A Masterpiece[/h1] that is set to be a modern classic! The more you play, the more you get into it. [h2]The good:[/h2] - The settings are variegated, rich of content and never boring. - The characters are very well written and the voice acting is superb! - The dialogues and writing in general are solid and actually funny. - The protagonist is cute and versatile. - Controls are extremely smooth and fluid. - The difficulty is optimal for fun and has challenge. Nothing is really all that easy, and there are more difficult sections, so there's definitely satisfaction in completing levels. - I never found serious bugs. Just rare, minimal glitches. [h2]The bad:[/h2] - Some visual stuttering but fortunately only while loading levels. While playing, there's no problem at all. Little note: Every time I replay the game, the first 10 minutes feel a little clunky. I played and replayed the game numerous times and I still haven't get what's the problem. After that, everything is wonderfully polished and amazing. Vote:[h2] 9.5/10

best game ive played in a while, love the story, it's so funny too, and you should play it bc its fun

my relationship with this game has been long and fraught but ultimately a very strong back half with the last two worlds (and a great final boss, honestly aside from the first the bosses in general were a disarming strength) leave a really nice taste in my mouth and leave me wanting to be nicer to this than ive maybe felt over the literal Years it has taken me to play this in full. me taking an obnoxiously long time to play a game in piecemeal is not uncommon for me, but it almost never happens with 3d platformers...by far my favorite game genre, would probably be my favorite genre of Anything if horror movies weren't that wee bit more personally vital. i have absolutely devoured just about every indie 3d platformer ive tried that came out in part because of this game's success...and in that way, i have to thank it. and its a good, even great game ofc...boundlessly recklessly creative, intensely cute and likable, feels nice and welcoming to play. and yet my truth is that i could barely ever stand to play it for more than one level at a time. considering the amount of much more contentious entries in the scene and genre that i have lathered with unconditional praise, from the hyper-juvenile hell pie to the janky and amateurish clive n wrench, i understand if this comes across as incoherent contrarianism on my part. but my inability to strongly connect with this game has been a source of much thought and feeling for me for a long time, so its the main thing i want to try to articulate, rather than any of the good things about it. u can turn to most other reviews for that. i think broadly, it comes down to two things (1) its a "well" controlling game, and not an interesting controlling one, which would be a problem for me in most games but is particularly difficult to swallow in a 3d platformer. after close to ten hours of play, i have so little impression or recollection of how hat girl feels to control, or how she interacts with the world. one little nuance of the wall run/climb is how it appears to be faster and more powerful if youre doing it after a double jump, a great nuance that makes just Barely reaching certain heights much more flexible, but its rly the only nuance like that i personally noticed. everything else is smooth and pleasant and forgettable...a double jump, a dive that requires no setup, and not much else. i rarely felt like i was making decisions with my verbs...the more challenging sections are just more precision rather than greater complexity, a successful execution will essentially always look the same. and yet even extremely verb-light entries in the genre like the zippy lightweight Tinykin have so much texture to me still...but theres so little shape or weight or color here, at least imo...not much expression from either the designers or available to the player (2) this is much better articulated in a video by b-mask, which coins the extremely useful term "creative syntax", but there is a lack of unity and discipline that does a disservice to the endless wellspring of creative ideas. it genuinely is absolutely dizzying how many fun, endearing little nuggets there are in every single moment of this game, character designs and bits of set dressing and quest setups. but its all too much, with weak conceptual throughlines. this is a much worse issue in the first two worlds than the last two, but theres still a distance-creating sloppiness that i cant quite shake. returning to finish this after having semi-recently revisited psychonauts 2 *really* drives this home, the way every level in that game brought together Multiple big bold quirky ideas into something instantly recognizable and with depths to uncover was hard to shake when thinking about the worlds here. without a strong conceptual framework allowing all the disparate ideas to work towards themes and emotions, it feels like what there is to be Gotten is just continually on the surface level...the delights are varied but equally shallow. every new world is such an exhausting mental bombard of distracting, competing ideas, never quite synthesizing into something that has a lasting intuitive appeal for me. even the absolute basics feel strangely ill defined...hat girl is cute and appealing but she doesnt have that instantly readable mascot juice, her abilities and contextual place in the game's world feel consistently arbitrary, if theyre defined at all. i love the main hub, how it feels stitched together from a child's personal power fantasies...it feels like theres a thread there that could have unified more of the game, but doesnt. there is ultimately a frustrating vagueness and lack of aesthetic/artistic sturdiness that makes it difficult for me to fully conceptualize this game and its world as a unified whole,,,something i can fully carry in my head and heart the secret third reason is the chemistry between the two...gameplay thats a bit too polished, and surrounding elements that arent polished enough. i have to reiterate that im only emphasizing the negative because ultimately this is a game i *should* love, which makes the fact that i cant quite get there stand out as the most cohesive thing i can say about a game that, as ive said , struggles with cohesiveness. my most successful attempt at holding it as a conceptual object is as an object of frustration,,,at the game a bit, probably mostly at myself. i reinstalled tinykin while writing this.

A modern take on the collectathon formula of yesteryear. A bit rough on the edge but, a charming little game. Do hope for a sequel.

This might be the best platformer I've played in a while. It's a charming game with a very bizarre sense of humor. I think my only minor complaint is it seems like the voice acting could've been done once again. Some of the lines seem jarring and out of sync with the cadence of the rest of a conversation (particularly Mustache-girl, probably because her lines were done first). The game is a blast in couch co-op too, and that's getting rare these days.

I got this game on my switch and bought it on steam for the workshop I havent beated on steam yet but I did on my switch. anyways if you like Mario odyssey then this game is for you its really fun cute and challenging at times. also unlike on switch the local co op is some much better because the second player actually gets there own screen. i dont got much more to say get the game if you like 3-D platformers

I love this came, every level has tender loving care put into it, easily best platformer I've ever played. 1st got it on the switch in 2021 and only recently got it on steam on sale. Been waiting to get it on steam for just over a year and now that i finally have it i can eaily say it exceded all of my expectations on my 2nd play thought 100% would recomend

My fav platformer (purely platformer) game :> Hat Kid's Name is best character along with Snatcher. HATS

I love this game. its so charming with loads of worlds to explore and characters to meet. i would DEFINITELY! recommend this game.

One of the best in its genre. If you like 3D platformers it's a no brainer buy.

in my opinion, one of the most memorable single player games ever made the eccentric scottish bird man really helps my enjoyment along

It is on the first place of all platformers ever made together with Super Mario 3D World.

This game has set a VERY high bar for platformers. I think only Astrobot came close to the fun I've had with this game

Clarification: My opinion might be biased because I like this kind 3D Platformer and games with modding support. This game is a love letter to 3D Platformer games like: Spyro, Psychonauts, Rayman 3, Ratchet & Clank or Super Mario 64. This game reminds you that videogames are first and foremost GAMES that are meant to have a nice time playing them. Sure they can tell an story and have nice grafics but not before their gameplay being fun to play with it. This game is still good even when it was released in 2017. You don't need to buy the DLCs, there're plenty of users levels. Also the fact that DLC levels are unlocked after almost clearing the base game. Modding content gives this game a lot of fresh air my favorite was one where you could play as Rayman from Rayman 3. Hence why I had the experience of playing the long over due Rayman 4. In general this game can be a introduction to the 3D Platformer games. Keep in mind that it shares a lot of ups and downs from the 2D Platformer games, the main issue many people don't like the 3D Platformer is its camera. While the 2D has a fixed camara most of the times, in 3D you sometimes are also fighting aganist it because it gives you a bad angle in a certain event. To be honest the camera issue is also present on this game and sometimes makes some boss fights harder than necesary. Mods can give you the edge for those bosses, my favorite are the 'infinite jump badge' and the 'Half-Life Alien Gun'. Controler support can be tricky to set up, better play it with keyboard. If you want to use Mods browse them outside the game, sometimes mods crash if you install them with the in-game UI. Use the Steam 'Workshop' tab before you start the game. From there see the mods you want to add and click 'Suscribe'. Each level is divided on chapters that needs to be completed before the boss fight. You need to collect Pons (green bubbles) and a Time Piece (Hourglass) to end the current chapter. Each of the base game levels requires a 'hat' to perform an special interaction that unlocks something (call it powers that gives you a reward for using them). Collecting hat duplicates gives you yarn used to sew new hats. The 'green bubbles' you collect are used to unlock badges or access to chapters. Unlock new hats first, Hookshot Badge second and Fast Hatter Badge third. The game has good english Voice Actors (VA), specialy the Snatcher performance. The music fits the setting of each level. The levels can be explored for collectables almost entirely, once you unlock the 1st chapter. Toon characters, silly situations and bright colors are what makes the 3D Platformer games special. Sometimes you just want to have a full game and not a 'live service' that feels more like a 2nd job. For those who want to try out, one of the game genres that currently Nitendo is monopolizing. This is a hidden gem in steam.

If you're looking for a game to scratch that early 2000s platformer, look no further!

the only flaw i've noticed so far is SOME of the voice acting... everything else is pretty much perfection

this game is super fun! it keeps you busy and has a lot of fun quests and action. super good would recommend.

Loved this game as a kid, decided to buy it on Steam to relieve good memories I now love it to bits! One of the greatest Platformers, and the "AHAHAHAHAHAHH FOOOOOOOL", "peck-neck" and the characters themselves really left an impact on me

This game is riddleled with charm. There will come up annoyences with the controls and camera but I love this game anyways

I really love this game. I had a great experience and had fun playing for hours. This game has elements that remind me of my childhood, and it truly evokes a feeling of nostalgia and innocence.

I love this game. It's so charming and fun to play. I love all of the characters and the modding scene is lively and always making new and inventive levels and other creations. Play this game!

A Hat in Time is one of the greatest 3D platformers of all time, Everything from the charm, the characters, the gameplay, and the soundtrack. It's perfect. I remember finding out about this game a few years back after seeing Alpharad's video comparing this game to Mario Odyssey, thinking no way it could be better. But BOY was I wrong, after 100% it on the Playstation, I decided to get it on PC, and I've now 100% it once more and beaten the game many times. It's a joy, it's a blast, and it's one of my favorite games of all time. So thank you Gears for Breakfast for giving us this masterpiece. (Also there's steam workshop which is also a huge bonus!)

love this game bought it 3 times first on playstation then nintendo and now steam honestly this game makes me happy

Now I am not the biggest fan of platformers, but if every platformer was like this, they'd be the only games i play. A Hat in Time is for sure one of the best games I played so far, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Smooth gameplay, great story and characters and a good game overall.

Cute game, charming, fun, and has some good challenges. The online function is awesome too.

Back then, I heard a lot about this game, though sadly, I never got the chance to play it till two years ago. Once I finally had the chance to catch up, I did so―and it was amazing. The game's cartoony visuals and characters, the moveset, the worlds and the levels. It's all a nice mix of nostalgia and something new. It may lack a few animations here and there, but with the small team behind this game taken into consideration, this game deserves every spent cent and minute you put into buying and playing it. I enjoyed it a lot, and would definetely buy A Hat in Time 2 if it ever came out.

Generally one of the most well known and beloved platformers of it's generation, still absolutely worth a buy if you have the cash.

Genuinely one of the best 3D platformers to come out in the last few years. Originally played this game years ago and came back for a second playthrough/100%ing the achievements I have missing and still having fun with it. Feels a lot like playing Super Mario Galaxy when I was a kid

this game holds a really big place in my heart, and when I saw it was on sale, I *had* to get it again! great 3d platforming mechanics, great music, and really great everything!

A cute and cozy platformer gamer that you should definitely try if you enjoy the old 3d platformer games. This game is a MUST try if you enjoy those, with a great humor, iconic characters with two amazing dlcs, one of them (the seal the deal dlc) includes an amazing hard mode (Death Wishes) that will turn the game into a super challenging and sometimes stressing platforming game. A must try if you want it, try to get this game along with the Nyakuza Metro DLC and the Seal The Deal DLC when they are all on sale, because the game alone by itself is pretty short

I had fun with the game but it has some very serious control issues that frequently lead to frustration. Button reassignment appears broken and locked the game when I tried using it, the direction the player is facing and sometimes committed to is not always intuitive, and the camera is one of the worst I've ever dealt with in a platformer. However the world is well crafted, the story is minimal but the dialogue is well written and funny, and ultimately it felt like I was playing a good tribute to Super Mario Sunshine. Mod support initially looked like a plus. But when I actually tried some of the community-made levels that are spotlighted I didn't find a lot to like. Currently there's a Beach Bash mod that's featured and that level is great. The rest? Varies from solid but forgettable to low effort to downright player hostile. I'll never forget being stuck on one, having to google a video to figure it out, and that person using photo mode to ignore collision just to understand what the level even wanted us to do.

It's just really fun and high-energy. Also, it does 3D platforming very well.

Best Plat-former (Excluding Rage Games) in my opinion. Tons of fun with a unique story line, amazing Bosses, great DLCs, fun and interesting mechanics like hats and badges. Fun with friends, Fun alone... FUN!!!

Any game that creatively uses genre blending and breaking player expectations is likely going to find a place in my heart. A Hat in Time is clearly a passion project that uses whimsy to its fullest extent. I like to say "never underestimate the power of whimsy" in game design, and this game is a leading example of that. It has some scary moments that may be hard on kids, but this game would truly be a crowd pleaser for anyone of any age.

Gameplay is fun and not too hard, and the controls are very easy to get used to.

This game oozes with character and the movement is simply great. It's well polished and a great game.

not eveen going to lie last time i played was 2 years ago and i randomly though about this game and i rememberd that this game is one of the most fun games i have ever played i would say second place first place has to go to elden ring nightreign though

This is a very cute platformer. If you like 3D platformers with cute graphics and great control schemes for all play types, this is a very great recommendation to YOU.

Please buy and play this game it's so fun and colorful and brings a smile to my face anytime anyone plays it

A Hat in Time + DLC- Playtime: 46.1 hours (may be a bit inflated by afk time, but the game does have alot of content) Hat in time is a great 3d platformer, full of all the fun and charm you'd want in this type a game, with the amount of rough edges you might expect from a new indie game studio making this type of game. Gameplay - The game is overall really good. The base movement feels really nice and it has alot of room for skill expression in the movement without making the game too complicated for new players. It's probably one of the best 3D platformers out there (easily beating out the banjo games tbh) it just has a couple more annoying things that are a bit frustrating. There are sections of the game that feel really freeing and make you feel as if you can do anything, which makes it kinda suck when the game randomly decides you can't do that actually by either putting up invisible walls in very climbable looking spots, putting death zones where you wouldn't expect them to be and making a surface randomly very slippery. These things are rather minor annoyances in the grand scheme of things, it just feels kinda bad. The hat powers you get aren't the most interesting imo, they mostly serve a purpose of enabling certain mechanics at certain times, the dweller mask being the only one that really opens up interesting gameplay, but only being used when they want to do that kind of gameplay. I find myself complaing a bit more than you'd expect for me liking this game, but there's not much to say about what is good in a 3D platformer, it's just good movement and good vibes. Aesthetics - This game frankly looks amazing and really does good with making the goofy fun vibes. Lots of decent jokes and vibrant atmosphere. The story serves the game well, as it's not too complicated but makes things more fun. Seal the Deal DLC - Here's the part where I get a little pissy. The other DLCs are just free new worlds they added to the game that are just more of the same fun stuff, but Seal the Deal is a challenge mode for the game. It takes all the content already in the game and makes it harder by putting different challenging missions and changing things in the level. This is mostly fun, but some of the last few challenges are EXTREMELY grating. There are a couple challenges that are really annoying cuz they take way to long to do, and they take way too long to get to the hard parts. Defeating these challenges are really hard cuz they're pretty difficult challenges, but you also have to get past what is essentially an unskipable cutscene of you doing the very easy part of the challenge everytime. The final boss rush mission and Cruisin' for a Brusin' are the ones I'm talking about in particular. The first 2 bosses in the boss rush are really easy, but you have to beat them every time to get to the last 2, and if you die 3 times you have to start it all over. The extra challenges make it even more annoying and it's just really annoying and takes forever. Crusin' for a Brusin is similar, in that it's really slow at the start, and you need to have an extreme level of familiarity with the mission in order to complete the challenge missions of this level. Everytime you mess up you have to do the really easy part for a long time again. I eventually just stopped trying with these levels, they're just really annoying, and every moment I tried doing them I was just thinking of how much more fun I would be having if I just sarted playing a different game. All in all, play A Hat in Time, it's a really good time, just don't do true 110% completion (all stuff + Seal the Deal), only go for 100% and have whatever fun you can squeeze out of Seal the Deal without it being annoying.

i absolutely adore this game, such a fun and entertaining time! and i really like that it challenges you with the seal the deal snatcher challenges

This game is a hidden gem and it is criminally underrated. PLEASEEEE let more people discover and play this game.

Game is the funniest platformer I have played in a long while. Strongly recommend for people who want to have a blast. 10/10.

Really great game, heavily discourage 100% due to Seal the Deal, like that DLC my thoughts too shall be undercooked; three missions for one unique area and the rest are C-side Celeste missions. Nyakuza Metro however is a perfect continuation of the game's silly and fun vibe, additionally the multiplayer was very fun. Overall very good, get this and Nyakuza and you'll have a good time.
