So how's the game?

[ArmoredSnowman]

I've been really considering buying the game, and now that it's released, I was wondering what others have to say about their experience with the game

Never heard of it until now but it looks cool and is reviewing pretty well.

[Redgrave]

I've only heard good things about it. It sounds like something you would get if you wanted Mario Odyssey but don't have a Switch, or just want to play something similar to classic 3D platforming games and have it tick all the right boxes while also having it's own sort of charm and originality to it. Before the reviews I only really heard of it because it has best birdman JonTron voice a character in it.

I bought it and enjoying it. Reminds me of super mario 64. Its pretty much the same thing.

Just bought this, really looking forward to getting into this! After platinuming it I might start speedrunning, as I've heard this game is building a nice community of speedrunners in it as well!

Watch this video, it has all the information you need to make a decision.

Feels a lot like Super Mario Sunshine. Which is my favorite 3D Mario, so it's a good thing. I think the price for digital only is high af, but I backed it on Kickstarter so got it for $15 or whatever instead... Well technically more since I got it on steam, and then the "upgrade" was just another version of it. But meh.

 

great game thus far. Funny too.

It’s fun. Whole game is very charming and there’s impressive variety for a 3D platformer. Only criticism i have as of now would be that it’s kind of short.

[BlindMango]

I'm having a blast with it! I didn't expect it to be so funny at times and have such neat scenarios. It's been a while since I've played a game quite like this and it's really fun!

Pros:
+ Cute artstyle
+ Good level design
+ Good voice acting
+ Good character design
+ Amazing soundtrack

Cons:
- It ends

Compared to yooka laylee, a hat in time is the 3d platformer rebirth we needed.  It's fun, it's made with care, and it's got really great level design.  It is a bit over priced though but I think it's worth it

I thought Chapter 4's level design was atrocious personally. Though, oddly enough, my favorite level design was the Bell area in it. That was really fun puzzle-y platforming. But yeah, not a fan of Chapter 4. Especially that it rehashes the content, wouldn't hate it so much if not for that aspect of it.

The game was an absolute blast. The most fun I've had in getting a platinum in a very long time. I cannot recommend a Hat in Time enough. I really hope they add trophies for the New Game +, Multiplayer, and bonus chapter DLCs

Yeah, I don't care for Chapter 4 either. I much preferred the way the other Chapters were structured instead of wandering around hoping I'm going the right direction. Mafia Town is by far the best Chapter in the game IMO  and probably the one they spent the most time on. Kind of reminds me of Yooka-Laylee in the way the opening areas of both games are great but things kind of fall off as you get further. I did like this game quite a bit more than Yooka-Laylee though.

Oddly enough I think this criticism suits subcorn forest more than it does alpine skyline? Alpine is pretty linear when you think about it, sure it has branching paths but it's not like you can get lost, it's pretty straightorward to see where you need to go. It was my least favourite chapter too don't get me wrong but for other reasons, it didn't really have a storyline or anything going on thus making the whole place feel a bit pointless in the end besides the fact you're just collecting more time pieces, I liked the design though and I really didn't feel like it was a bad chapter, it just lacks some of the charm and personality in comparison to the other chapters, it kinda feels like they cut some content around chapter 4 imo.
