I recommend “A Hat in Time” to all fans of 3D platformers. This game is more challenging than one might expect from its cutesy aesthetic. Speaking of which, the game is not so cutesy that it becomes annoying; it is genuinely and organically adorable. The humor is great, too. My only complaint—and this is specific to the Switch version—is the long load times.

A phenomenal game from the genius of Gears for Breakfast. If you grew up with the Gamecube, you'll be smacked in the face with nostalgia that you didn't even realize you had. It's whimsy, full of character, and downright a blast to play. You won't regret this title and I hope to see many more like it in the future.

A hat in time is a game I've been following since its alpha, and it's so great to finally be able to play it. It's a love letter to games like mario 64 and banjo kazooie, but also to things like psychonauts. I get more PlayStation 2 vibes than n64, which I feel is a good thing.
The game is bright and colorful with fun movement options that make me feel like a pro as a navigate tiny platforms and make prescision jumps. The characters are great and I love how you can customize hat kid and make her even cuter.
This game has a few flaws, the most annoying one being the camera. It sometimes zooms in way too close and makes it difficult to see what I'm doing or where I need to go next. There's also no first person option to look around, but there is a camera badge that's free roaming. It's a little cumbersome but it works in a pinch.
Overall, I'd say this is a good buy for those that like both the n64 3d platformers as well as ones from the ps2, such as sly cooper and the aforementioned psychonauts. It's a little rough around the edges, but that's part of the charm.

After purchasing this game from a friend's recommendation - I quickly fell in love. The colors, animations, and slightly dark humor were great!
The only cons:
*It was over too quickly
*The DLC seemed to have drastically higher difficultly levels that the original

My son is a fan of Mario 3D world, and I got him “A Hat in Time” on digital when it was on sale in Nintendo. After completing the game, he rated it a 10. When I found out Bestbuy had a physical collection, my son wanted it, Though it has no inside art cover, it’s great to have a physical copy!

This is a fantastic port of an amazing platformer. while there are some concessions due to the limitations of the switch in portable mode such as the resolution and anti-aliasing not being high, and some slow-down at points; it doesn't affect the enjoyment of the game. the fact that i can take this game, which is designed to be played in short bursts and not marathoned, with me is fantastic. this is why i will buy the switch port of many games.

Excellent game, super fun. I've been waiting on this one for a while because I've thought $40 was too much, but it hasn't gotten much cheaper so I bit the bullet at $30.

A bright and colorful game that's not too frustrating. Fast action and fun gameplay. Be sure to update the game before playing as the original release had slowdown issuesm
