I had been told an awful lot about A Hat in Time from a friend who was following it during its early days. I being my usual idiotic self didn't pick it up when it came out because I don't usually touch games that I have felt were overly hyped up to me. In no way was this a let down to the excitement she had for it. I started the game to find myself hit with a huge wave of nostalgia the second I was given control of the character. I might not be one of the people old enough to remember the days playing Mario 64 that I often see this game compared to but I spent my very early childhood playing Mario Sunshine, then when I got a bit older after the Wii came out I played Super Mario Galaxy, and then it's sequal not to long after that. This game is an adorable childish platformer that will draw you in not just with the gameplay, but the beautifully designed levels, the absolutely stunning soundtrack, the amazingly charming dialoge, the unique and interesting characters, the wonderful exploration, and the amazing replayability. This game has honestly been one of the best games I've played in years and it reignited my love for platformers.
