SeekerA Hat in Time
Aside from its creative hats and hat-based abilities, A Hat in Time never exactly feels like an inventive platformer. But it does its job well, even while suffering from the occasionally awkward camera issues that 3D platformers are often known for. It stands out, though, for its infectious and endearingly goofy personality, its creative and widely different levels, and its enjoyable platforming. And, of course, all those hats.

These wacky villains lead to some tremendous boss encounters that put Hat Girl’s reflexes to the test. They’re genuinely difficult and abandon the conventions you’d expect from this kind of platformer. Enemies will throw out a series of attacks before breaking the fourth wall and sitting the player down for a chat. It’s brilliant, using A Hat in Time’s cavalcade of playful qualities to its advantage. I won’t spoil anything here, but I’d be surprised if you didn’t put the controller down with a grin on your face.
