A Hat in Time is a 2017 platform game developed by Danish game studio Gears for Breakfast and published by Humble Bundle. The game was developed using Unreal Engine 3 and funded through a Kickstarter campaign, which nearly doubled its fundraising goals within its first two days. The game was self-published for macOS and Windows in October 2017, and by Humble Bundle for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles two months later. A version for the Nintendo Switch was released in October 2019.

Runs well on modern hardware.

when i was younger i used to be OBSESSED with this game. i wanted a hat kid plush for my bday but they were out of stock on the fangamer store, so my mom emailed them about it. she told them how its my birthday n stuff and they responded by saying that they had 1 more plushie in a warehouse somewhere and that they love bdays, so they went out of their way and arranged something for me!!! i got it right on time. this story is really relevant to how i feel abt this game because i have nothing but fond memories of this game. its always nice to look back on and i always have a good time playing this over by myself or with a friend. its nothing but good vibes and the fact that its moddable is just the cherry on top. you can never go wrong with a session in this game :) ALSO YEAH playing couch co op with someone is Bliss with certain mods. maybe one of the most perfect couch co op experiences u can have with a friend
This is a literal must-play for any 3D platforming fan. Controls, music, theming, story, dialogue, and more are all excellent. Additionally, the two main DLC expansions (Seal the Deal and Nyakuza Metro) are exceptional. If you are considering buying this game, you should definitely buy those two alongside it for your first playthrough. There is admittedly not much reason to buy Vanessa's Curse as it's a dead online mode. My only real grievances are: 1) The game is not super well-optimized and has a tendency to run poorly, crash, or massively stutter on certain systems depending on your settings. You may have to edit the settings.ini file manually just to get the game to load. 2) Even after playing nearly 150hrs, the camera is a little tough to get used to. It fights REALLY hard and makes it so you essentially have to do some (totally optional) tricks blind because the camera is determined to zoom in and focus on like, the wall or a rock or something.
for some reason in 2017 I was so anti-nintendo I put this game and yo noid 2! over super mario odyssey. I still stand by this ranking but felt I should mention this in my review of this game. Review over - MarvelousMaxter Reviews
