An excellent title with a MAJOR caveat
A Hat in Time is FAR FROM a disappointment. It was promised to be a homage to the 3d platformers of yester-year during its Kickstarter campaign, and by god did it deliver AND some. With controls that are tight with a technically adept camera to back it up, scenarios that are overall fun to play through and experience, and a soundtrack that supports the game’s goofy and light-handed vibe yet hides surprising and epic jabs of chiptune and rock in its sleeves (some tracks, I think, are not allowed to be as good as they are, I swear to god), this is a definite buy if you were into Yooka Laylee at first, then played it, then realized it was garbage, then threw it in the can and said to yourself “if only there was something else to quench this god-awful thirst for an actually good platformer that doesn’t waste your time”. Pros: - Controls and godlike movement (double jumps, air dives into belly slides, air dive cancellation…) - Soundtrack - Character and general charm Cons: - Too short - Too DAMN short - Current mod support incoherency This is worth noting: this game was too short for what it was going for, and certain parts might have needed some more time baking in the oven. So, naturally someone would want to do more with the game, and the good news is that the modding scene is thriving quite well. The bad news is that its only present on the STEAM WORKSHOP; I don’t think GOG Galaxy will be receiving its own version of the Workshop anytime soon, so GOG users are unfortunately left out of modding privileges as of writing this review. If you don’t care for mods and are quite satisfied with keeping the vanilla game and doing repeated runs, then buy it on GOG. But if you want to consider modding the game, buying the license to play it on Steam is a valid choice. It’s a huge and sour let down that there was no mention of this by the devs, and as of now, there is still no mention of this on their social media pages. Either way, buy the game when you can. Its a treat.
