A Hat in Time

Started playing this probably about 4 and a half years ago on the nintendo switch. I would certainly recommend this game mainly because of the mods and the community. This is probably obvious but play the main game first before playing or downloading mods from the workshop. I would also recommend getting the DLCs because they're just as fun as the main game.

I love this game. The movement is fun, the hats are cute, and the story is wonderful. That's not to say that this game is perfect though- The performance isn't the best, being oddly laggy on systems that really should be able to run it fine; especially bad on linux. Some of the hats are very situational or just don't have much use to begin with (e.g. the Ice Hat). That being said, it's very fun to explore and collect time pieces through each level. The bosses are engaging and the music is lovely. If you like 3d platformers, this is a must-try.

Excellent, beautiful and pretty funny. Love this game.

Love this game. Great example of what a modern platformer should be. Lots of charm and polish in addition to the stellar gameplay. Also HUGE applause for adding a coop mode (both local and online) as well as a mod browser (allowing you to also play multiplayer on modded maps). The DLC are fantastic as well (Seal the Deal and Nyakuza Metro). This released alongside Mario Odyssey and I think it keeps up with that game. For me, having two high tier platformers at the same time was amazing.

Chaotic, fun, very enjoyable. I could describe it further, but I went in blind, didn't use google, it posed quirky as heck. I do recommend if you're into platformers.

I nearly wrote a serious review for this game, but why bother! It's fun, and if you just write your name here you can try it for yourself... Now go on kid, enjoy yourself a little, you're contractually obliged to!

This game was a really good platformer and i really liked the design and story. I'd recommend this game to other players because it was really fun and lots of people would enjoy it.

Back then, I heard a lot about this game, though sadly, I never got the chance to play it till two years ago. Once I finally had the chance to catch up, I did so―and it was amazing. The game's cartoony visuals and characters, the moveset, the worlds and the levels. It's all a nice mix of nostalgia and something new. It may lack a few animations here and there, but with the small team behind this game taken into consideration, this game deserves every spent cent and minute you put into buying and playing it. I enjoyed it a lot, and would definetely buy A Hat in Time 2 if it ever came out.

Generally one of the most well known and beloved platformers of it's generation, still absolutely worth a buy if you have the cash.

Genuinely one of the best 3D platformers to come out in the last few years. Originally played this game years ago and came back for a second playthrough/100%ing the achievements I have missing and still having fun with it. Feels a lot like playing Super Mario Galaxy when I was a kid

this game holds a really big place in my heart, and when I saw it was on sale, I *had* to get it again! great 3d platforming mechanics, great music, and really great everything!

A cute and cozy platformer gamer that you should definitely try if you enjoy the old 3d platformer games. This game is a MUST try if you enjoy those, with a great humor, iconic characters with two amazing dlcs, one of them (the seal the deal dlc) includes an amazing hard mode (Death Wishes) that will turn the game into a super challenging and sometimes stressing platforming game. A must try if you want it, try to get this game along with the Nyakuza Metro DLC and the Seal The Deal DLC when they are all on sale, because the game alone by itself is pretty short

I had fun with the game but it has some very serious control issues that frequently lead to frustration. Button reassignment appears broken and locked the game when I tried using it, the direction the player is facing and sometimes committed to is not always intuitive, and the camera is one of the worst I've ever dealt with in a platformer. However the world is well crafted, the story is minimal but the dialogue is well written and funny, and ultimately it felt like I was playing a good tribute to Super Mario Sunshine. Mod support initially looked like a plus. But when I actually tried some of the community-made levels that are spotlighted I didn't find a lot to like. Currently there's a Beach Bash mod that's featured and that level is great. The rest? Varies from solid but forgettable to low effort to downright player hostile. I'll never forget being stuck on one, having to google a video to figure it out, and that person using photo mode to ignore collision just to understand what the level even wanted us to do.

It's just really fun and high-energy. Also, it does 3D platforming very well.

Best Plat-former (Excluding Rage Games) in my opinion. Tons of fun with a unique story line, amazing Bosses, great DLCs, fun and interesting mechanics like hats and badges. Fun with friends, Fun alone... FUN!!!

Any game that creatively uses genre blending and breaking player expectations is likely going to find a place in my heart. A Hat in Time is clearly a passion project that uses whimsy to its fullest extent. I like to say "never underestimate the power of whimsy" in game design, and this game is a leading example of that. It has some scary moments that may be hard on kids, but this game would truly be a crowd pleaser for anyone of any age.

Gameplay is fun and not too hard, and the controls are very easy to get used to.

This game oozes with character and the movement is simply great. It's well polished and a great game.

not eveen going to lie last time i played was 2 years ago and i randomly though about this game and i rememberd that this game is one of the most fun games i have ever played i would say second place first place has to go to elden ring nightreign though

This is a very cute platformer. If you like 3D platformers with cute graphics and great control schemes for all play types, this is a very great recommendation to YOU.

Please buy and play this game it's so fun and colorful and brings a smile to my face anytime anyone plays it

A Hat in Time + DLC- Playtime: 46.1 hours (may be a bit inflated by afk time, but the game does have alot of content) Hat in time is a great 3d platformer, full of all the fun and charm you'd want in this type a game, with the amount of rough edges you might expect from a new indie game studio making this type of game. Gameplay - The game is overall really good. The base movement feels really nice and it has alot of room for skill expression in the movement without making the game too complicated for new players. It's probably one of the best 3D platformers out there (easily beating out the banjo games tbh) it just has a couple more annoying things that are a bit frustrating. There are sections of the game that feel really freeing and make you feel as if you can do anything, which makes it kinda suck when the game randomly decides you can't do that actually by either putting up invisible walls in very climbable looking spots, putting death zones where you wouldn't expect them to be and making a surface randomly very slippery. These things are rather minor annoyances in the grand scheme of things, it just feels kinda bad. The hat powers you get aren't the most interesting imo, they mostly serve a purpose of enabling certain mechanics at certain times, the dweller mask being the only one that really opens up interesting gameplay, but only being used when they want to do that kind of gameplay. I find myself complaing a bit more than you'd expect for me liking this game, but there's not much to say about what is good in a 3D platformer, it's just good movement and good vibes. Aesthetics - This game frankly looks amazing and really does good with making the goofy fun vibes. Lots of decent jokes and vibrant atmosphere. The story serves the game well, as it's not too complicated but makes things more fun. Seal the Deal DLC - Here's the part where I get a little pissy. The other DLCs are just free new worlds they added to the game that are just more of the same fun stuff, but Seal the Deal is a challenge mode for the game. It takes all the content already in the game and makes it harder by putting different challenging missions and changing things in the level. This is mostly fun, but some of the last few challenges are EXTREMELY grating. There are a couple challenges that are really annoying cuz they take way to long to do, and they take way too long to get to the hard parts. Defeating these challenges are really hard cuz they're pretty difficult challenges, but you also have to get past what is essentially an unskipable cutscene of you doing the very easy part of the challenge everytime. The final boss rush mission and Cruisin' for a Brusin' are the ones I'm talking about in particular. The first 2 bosses in the boss rush are really easy, but you have to beat them every time to get to the last 2, and if you die 3 times you have to start it all over. The extra challenges make it even more annoying and it's just really annoying and takes forever. Crusin' for a Brusin is similar, in that it's really slow at the start, and you need to have an extreme level of familiarity with the mission in order to complete the challenge missions of this level. Everytime you mess up you have to do the really easy part for a long time again. I eventually just stopped trying with these levels, they're just really annoying, and every moment I tried doing them I was just thinking of how much more fun I would be having if I just sarted playing a different game. All in all, play A Hat in Time, it's a really good time, just don't do true 110% completion (all stuff + Seal the Deal), only go for 100% and have whatever fun you can squeeze out of Seal the Deal without it being annoying.

i absolutely adore this game, such a fun and entertaining time! and i really like that it challenges you with the seal the deal snatcher challenges

This game is a hidden gem and it is criminally underrated. PLEASEEEE let more people discover and play this game.

Game is the funniest platformer I have played in a long while. Strongly recommend for people who want to have a blast. 10/10.

Really great game, heavily discourage 100% due to Seal the Deal, like that DLC my thoughts too shall be undercooked; three missions for one unique area and the rest are C-side Celeste missions. Nyakuza Metro however is a perfect continuation of the game's silly and fun vibe, additionally the multiplayer was very fun. Overall very good, get this and Nyakuza and you'll have a good time.

I finished it on PS5 PS4 getting 2 platinum trophies in both devices. but also trying to 100% it on steam. this game is a true fantastic franchise filled with good jokes playful scenarios and my first platformer. Getting mods made the whole experience feel more newer and more satisfying because the mod makers are absolutely amazing still releasing unbugged new refreshing mods and I recommend night of wonders as your first mod after you finish the game. This game means tons of me I thank everyone who made the community to what it is. DOWNLOAD THE GAME. Can I get the DLCS for free? :3

very cool it's the only game where you can play as a bow-wearing child with a rocket launcher shooting up a bird with 500 health

This game may look like it costs £24.99 but trust me, it costs a lot more as I'm forced to give all prized possession to the Hat Kid.

Exactly what a platformer game should be, a genuine credit to modern gaming 10/10

insanely charming and fun collect-a-thon!! i've always been super into this genre of game but i keep coming back to a hat in time. i loved it so much on my first playthrough a few years ago that i 100% my save file. the movement is simple but is extended in a very fun way by the hat system, effectively giving you one special power at a time. levels are designed insanely well around this and encourage backtracking once you get a hat that unlocks a secret collectable at some point earlier in the game. every world in the game keeps the vibe fresh, and you never really feel like you're playing the same stupid level as you did earlier in the game. it's not as expansive of a game as super mario odyssey or anything but every world is 10x more memorable than any other 3d platformer i have played, odyssey included. i've found that playing randomizers has breathed fresh air into this game for me, prompting a ton of playtime in recent months. very dedicated custom level community too! very replayable, and the dlc is extremely worth buying too. this game should be in your steam library, in my eyes it's an absolute gem of the genre

Practically all my time on this game was on the switch, and its easily one of the greatest games I have ever played.

Camera movement is super annoying and there are many places that requires precise 3D platforming which is not convenient at all with the bad camera and some inconsistent controls (grappling hooks and air dash doesn't trigger consistently). But having said that, overall it's a cute, comedic and fun platforming game with tons of variety.

i like the amount of things in this game even without mods. other than that, i'd like better mac support and mods actually to WORK on mac

I love it! It's my favourite 3d-platformer in the last few years! It has such a great motion and makes fun just to run around, and the worlds are really interesting. I was looking for a game that provides some levels that feel open and give me incentive to explore, without forcing me to collect everything to complete it. This is what I got here!

Been wanting to replay this on Steam w/ mod support since I remember enjoying this game years ago on console and I wasn't disappointed. This game takes to me back to my memories playing Mario Galaxy and Sunshine while not being afraid to branch out and try new ideas for worlds/level structures with child-like whimsy. Good times. Would recommend

When I say this game's legit become one of my comfort games, I mean it, I legit fell in love with Conductor and Snatcher, a great play, lovely challenges, epic music

I honestly adore this game with all my heart! Where to even start with this? It's got such a colourful cast of characters and even if you're not the best at platformers there's something for everyone here! It's very forgiving and has harder modes if you want a challenge! one of the most fluid platformers I've ever played, movement feels so easy to do and is top notch. Dlc is great too! I honestly just wish there was more!! What a great little game. Also snatcher is my favourite and is the sole reason I actually found this game due to fanart and spreaded it like wildfire to all my friends! Love that multiplayer is good and works after they added dlc. Honestly hope they'd bring out a hat in time 2 someday!!

good graphincs and fun plot and story would love more DLC but the DLC that's out is so fun

Another game where my 4 year old watches me play and wants a computer when he gets older.

Fun and kinda funny. And probably the best game I've bought aside from Terraria/Avorion. You can scream at me all you want but I REALLY love that bomb timer section on the train. (Spoiler oops)

Masterpiece, although it may run a bit slow with older devices i was barely able to run it but i still had a stupid amount of fun!!!! great game even with a potato computer

Extremely fun and easy enough to not be stressful while hard enough to keep me interested. The character customization is also a great cherry on top and the plot felt silly and lighthearted. Will definitely pick this game up to play through it again

Very fun platformer that is reminiscent of old classics such as Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, with tight controls, an adorable artstyle, and great level design. However, it is not flawless, and a major criticism i would have to hold against this game lies in its optimization. The steam version was very prone to crashing when loading between levels, which although annoying did not detract too much from my enjoyment of the game as it did not interrupt me in the middle of playing a level, but it is something potential players should be made aware of.

What is wrong with everyone who gives this cheap Mario Galaxy knockoff a high score? This game is so clunky and boring, the fist bossfight is terrible as well as the previous levels. I was so hyped to play this game for a very long time but I'm super disappointed and I'm refunding this game and I'm not buying it back even for 1€.

Creative and the modding helps too! Main game isn't hard, but the DLC cranks up the difficulty to very hard.

Одна из самых милых и прекрасных игр во что я играл. Прекрасный ОСТ, прекрасные уровни и неплохие персонажи. Это одна из тех игр в которую хотелось бы поиграть ещё чуть-чуть побольше. Рекомендую, а единственным минусом в игре является то, что она заканчивается :)

(PLAYED ON STEAMDECK MOSTLY WORKS FLAWLESSLY) 🎩 A Hat in Time – A Charming Throwback with a Lot of Heart A Hat in Time is a colorful, lighthearted 3D platformer that wears its inspirations proudly. Playing as Hat Kid, a space-traveling child on a quest to recover her lost time pieces, you’ll explore a series of imaginative worlds that range from haunted forests to chaotic movie sets. Each level feels distinct, and there’s a real sense of personality throughout. What the game does best is movement. Hat Kid controls smoothly and responsively, making platforming fun and fluid. There’s a satisfying rhythm to jumping, diving, and exploring, and that alone makes the moment-to-moment gameplay enjoyable. Visually, the game uses a cartoony cel-shaded style that works well for the tone it’s going for. While the graphics aren’t technically impressive, the charm comes through in the art direction. The soundtrack is also a highlight, with energetic, memorable tracks that elevate each environment. There are some rough edges – the camera can occasionally be clunky, and not every level hits the same high standard. Some areas feel more tightly designed than others, and a few segments can be frustrating rather than fun. But these flaws are relatively minor in the bigger picture. Perhaps most impressive is what Gears for Breakfast, a small indie studio, has achieved here. It’s clear the team had a lot of love for the classic 3D platformers of the late '90s and early 2000s, and A Hat in Time captures much of what made those games special, while still forging its own identity. Final Verdict: Is a charming and sincere platformer that stands out in today’s indie scene. With strong movement, creative worlds, and tons of heart, it’s well worth playing – especially if you’re a fan of the genre. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 / 5 – A delightful, lovingly made platformer with a few rough spots but plenty to enjoy.

workshop mods are funny music is good and levels are good.

Truly a cute as heck plataformer, just try to not break your computer on some of the later content!
