A Hat in Time Reviews
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 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.

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 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.
A Hat in Time doesn’t try to innovate mechanically, but it does through the places its adventure takes players.
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 is well worth the full price. The lovely visuals, and challenging gameplay will keep you entertained for hours
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.
