A Hat In Time gameplay and first impressions
A cute nostalgia trip š©ā³
I recently took the time to thoroughly scan through the entire PS Plus game catalog. While doing so, I discovered 16 new games to download that I somehow had skipped over for many months. The first of those games that I decided to play was A Hat In Time.
A Hat in Time is a charming and critically acclaimed 3D platformer developed by Gears for Breakfast. Released in 2017, the game harkens back to the golden era of the genre, drawing inspiration from classics like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. Players assume the role of Hat Kid, a space-traveling, hat-wielding protagonist who must collect Time Pieces to fuel her spaceship and thwart the sinister plans of the Mustache Girl. The game's colorful art style, whimsical characters, and clever level design create an endearing and nostalgic experience for players of all ages.
One of the standout features of "A Hat in Time" is its imaginative and diverse worlds. Each level offers a distinct theme, from a movie studio filled with quirky characters to a spooky haunted forest, providing a variety of environments that keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. The game encourages exploration, and players can use Hat Kid's various hats, each with unique abilities, to navigate intricate landscapes, solve puzzles, and uncover hidden secrets.
The game has received praise for its tight controls, creative level design, and delightful sense of humor. A Hat in Time successfully captures the essence of classic 3D platformers like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie while adding its own modern twist. With its lovable characters, vibrant visuals, and entertaining gameplay, the game is celebrated as a standout title in the indie gaming scene.
As much as I love many of the 3D platformers that I played as a kid, A Hat In Time just didn't really hit for me. I had heard that the beginning levels are somewhat basic, so maybe that's what it was for me. I just didn't have the patience to wait it out until the better parts of the game.
See for yourself my true first impressions of the game in the following gameplay video.

Ooh that all are seems to be interesting
Hi, the girl with the hat is a complete tightrope walker, I don't know how she keeps her hat from falling off.ššš
This game looks cute, its graphics reminded me to the classic 3D platformers I played PS1. It aesthetics also reminded me to The Wind Waker.
This does look quite interesting, I became a fan of 3D platformer "collect-a-thons" after the 32-Bit era while developers figured out what worked, what didn't, etc. I still enjoy a lot of 3D platformers from that time, but thanks to hindsight, I know to avoid games like Bubsy 3D (anyone that lived through 32-Bit knows what I mean).
Is A Hat in Time available on Steam or GoG.com?
Edit - Found it on Steam for about $30.
I do not think this one is worth $30, but if this is your type of game then maybe it is worth it.
I saved it to my wishlist, if it hits $20 or lower I will be grabbing it. Till then, I have plenty of other games like this to keep me busy. Thanks again for bringing this one up, I completely missed it originally.
No problem š¤ good luck
