A Hat in Time Reviews
A Hat in Time is a timeless adventure of epic proportions. An old school platforming game with a twist. A classic that will be one of the most memorable games in existence. I recommend these for people who misses the good ol’ days and have been waiting to get their hands on a game that plays similarly to games like Super Mario 64. It can definitely satiate the feeling of anticipation as we wait for Super Mario Odyssey to be released.
Gears for Breakfast has done a fantastic job of revisiting an old genre with a new, fresh perspective. Featuring tight controls, a whimsically colorful universe and characters, and a gorgeous soundtrack, 'A Hat in Time' hits all the right notes to become an instant classic.
A Hat in Time is well worth the full price. The lovely visuals, and challenging gameplay will keep you entertained for hours
What flaws it has do little to change the fact that the gameplay is satisfying and the characters will make you smile. The title is a little on the short side, at around ten hours, but it’s ten very enjoyable hours that don’t overstay their welcome.
A Hat in Time doesn’t try to innovate mechanically, but it does through the places its adventure takes players.
A Hat in Time revives the 3D Platformer and even kicks some well-needed dirt in its crusty old eyes. Come for the cute visuals and compelling characters and stay for the tight controls and addicting gameplay loops.
Astoundingly charming, A Hat In Time manages to make almost every moment of gameplay a blast. Despite the occasional frustrating difficulty spike, the delightful whimsical personality of the game manages to win over even the most hardened of hearts. 3D platformer fans should definitely snap this one up.
A Hat in Time shows how to make a spiritual successor right and besides some reduced length and the shortcomings from that fact, this game doesn't need to hide behind the big players in the genre. If you're looking for a Super Mario substitute on PC you'll have a great time.

Gears For Breakfast isn’t a slave to nostalgia. It knows what made early 3D platformers special in the late nineties and it knows what makes them hard to go back to in 2017. It's updated the genre but kept the nostalgia flowing in the process. A Hat in Time could do with being a touch longer, but I enjoyed the entirety of my fifteen-hour playthrough. Not bad for a $30 package.
A Hat in Time is a top piece of work from a developer who embraces all that is great about an old style 3D platformer and then makes it their own with innovative and insightful fresh ideas.
Cute-as-heck callback to the platformers of old. If you don't like it, get lost.
A Hat in Time is an incredibly fun and incredibly charming throwback to classic collect-a-thon platformers. While it has some visual issues and a sometimes wonky camera, none of these issues can stop A Hat in Time from being an adorably fun time.
What a great game, A Hat in Time was just enjoyable and ever so charming featuring this lovely tale that anyone could enjoy.
A Hat in Time is one of the better Kickstarter platformers that have come out to date. The world is colorful and full of areas to explore. The enemies are challenging, with bosses that are no pushovers. The replay value of the game is very high due to the number of areas that can be reached once you find and make appropriate hats. Overall, this is a platformer that you don't want to miss!
Billed as a “Cute-as-heck platformer” it delivers on that promise. It has great platforming, level design, and gameplay, but it doesn’t have a cohesive feeling to tackle the big dogs.
A Hat in Time is a witty, colourful game with tonnes of variety. It's one of the best 3D platformers I've played in quite a while and succeeded where Playtonics Yooka Laylee didn't. The game has taken everything we loved about the games from the golden era of 3D platforming and updated it to modern standards without being locked in the past.
This is a lovely game with a dedicated button for blowing kisses. It may not be the best it’s ever been here, but A Hat in Time on Switch is most definitely still cute as heck and worth taking notice of.
GREAT - If you were waiting for this game to appear on the Switch library to play it – play it. It is still an absolute joy to experience. Technical issues aside, this unique indie gem stacks up even against Nintendo’s most iconic titles. If you’re still looking for that true love letter to fans of late 90’s platforming, you owe it to yourself to check out A Hat in Time.
A Hat In Time’s Switch port is sadly the worst way to play the game, however, beneath all its bugs and poor visuals, it’s the same aggressively fun and ruthlessly charming platformer. Its nine-hour runtime is filled with fluid gameplay, hilarious characters and diverse set of levels that toy around with the genre in the best way possible. A Hat In Time is simply one of the best platformers in years, and it’s worth dealing with the Switch’s technical limitations to experience.
