    Yeah this game sucks… thought I would like it because Mario Odyssey is my favourite game but no. It’s just really bad. Nothing good to say. Waste of time and money. Graphics bad, camera bad, platforming bad. Just pure garbage all the way through. I try to find some good in every game I play but wow this one is a real stinker!

    At the first glance this game is charming, funny and simply cool.
    However the more you play all this cool stuff blurs away by:
    1. too few mechanics and features; 2. eclectic level design; 3. uneven areas combined with frustrating and imprecise controls + unfair level design; 4. very poor graphics (considering to how much space this game needs!!); 5. lack of content and mediocre reuse    At the first glance this game is charming, funny and simply cool.

    Taking into account the stuttering, low resolution textures, and downgraded 3D models, this is still an incredible game. When I started playing, the game was a bit harder to look at, but as I continued and got back into the flow of its platforming I stopped caring about the visuals. While the glitches are still bothersome, it’s a testament to just how good A Hat in Time is that I still adored the game in this compromised state.

    A Hat in Time brings back a genre that, as Nintendo fans, we hold a ton of nostalgia for. Even with some archaic mechanics present, this is still one of the best modern examples of what a 3D platformer should be.

    While it's true that the game presents some technical issues that need correction, there's plenty of positive elements that make this a fun and involving game, including the variety of levels and the humor that can be found throughout the entire experience.
