A Hat In Time is Mario in everything but name. For an independent game, it's an an incredibly well-crafted game. While it lacks that final touch of polish you'd get in a Mario game, the effort here from the developer is commendable. This is one of the best platformers not made by Nintendo.

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 Hat in Time is a very enjoyable platformer that blends perfectly with the Switch’s controls! Fans of Mario will love the gameplay, as well as the charming characters and engaging story. A Hat in Time truly stands as one of my favorite video games, and is definitely a must-play for any fans of 3d platforming games!

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.

This is one of the few 3D platformers on Switch that even compare to Super Mario Odyssey. This game is incredible in every way. This is actually the second time I have bought the game because I originally bought it digitally on Steam, but I needed a physical copy because I love this game so much.

This is probably more Mario 64 than Banjo & Kazooie, but it's still an awesome game even when not compared to the greats. Charming and action packed - a quality title for all ages.

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 game pays homage to the great 3D platformers from the N64 days. Strongly reminds me of a combination of Mario, Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo Kazooie. Lots of entertainment and fun, highly recommend!

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.
