A Happy Little Game
3D platformers are somewhat scarce these days. There's only a couple in recent memory, but nothing really has stood up to the likes of Mario, Banjo, and the plethora of other mascot platformers from years before. A Hat in Time is the result of a successful Kickstarter that had the aim to recapture that time, with a girl that wears a hat. A Hat in Time plays like most 3D platformers, where you run and jump, with your main goal being collecting stuff or random objectives (e.g. 'Get to the finish in X time' or 'Defeat this thing,' etc). The two important parts of a 3D platformer, to me, are: How well do you move, and how well does the camera work? Movement is very fluid; run, jump, and dive, and you get get places pretty quickly. It feels like there was a ton of effort put into how Hat Girl moves around to ensure that you don't do something you didn't mean to. The camera is alright. There are some glaring issues that I hit with it, but it largely did it's job. I don't think many 3D platformers have a flawless camera, and A Hat in Time's isn't any different from the stuck cameras of Banjo or Mario. I found multiple areas where the camera swings in way to close while I'm moving, screwing me up. There's also, seemingly, unavoidable issue in the second world where the camera fidgets rapidly and there's not much you can do without zooming in uncomfortably close. The game is short, but it's bursting with personality. I would highly recommend it to anyone that's a fan of the old mascot platformer days. The only major issue I have with this game is the subject of support; the Steam version has already been patched to fix the camera issue mentioned above, as well as other improvements, but the developers seem to make no reference to the GOG release in any of their social media. Still, the v1.0 release functioned well enough that I completed the game without much of a problem. Hopefully the developers will start talking about improving the GOG release soon.
