How easy is A Hat In Time to pick up and play?Īs a hat-wearing, enemy bashing, daredevil leaping platformer, A Hat In Time isn't an especially difficult game to get to grips with, although a few aspects may take a little getting used to. By combining your hat powers with some light puzzle solving and platforming, you'll work your way through the game's various levels, whether it's using the Sprint Hat, coupled with a fall in a muddy puddle, to chase a scaredy Mafia goon down, or donning the Dweller's Mask to make invisible platforms visible, and able to support your weight. The winged 'Sprint Hat' gives you a dash for an extra burst of speed (and a longer leap, if need be), while the witchy 'Brewing Hat' lets you lob explosive potions to destroy fragile crates and barrels blocking the way, and a cute knitted 'Ice Hat' turns you into a heavy ice statue, which can springboard off certain platforms to reach further afield ledges. Your arsenal of headgear comes into its own while you're exploring, and you'll often need to chop and change between hats to get the job done, as each one has its own unique ability.
With no time limits, you're largely free to explore each world as you see fit, picking up money and collectibles to spend on upgrade badges for your hats, and yarn with which to sew yourself new hats, before getting down to business and completing the mission to earn you the next Time Piece. Each world is divided into a number of 'acts' - essentially missions - with a different primary objective in each, although each takes place in the same sort of area, just tweaked to reflect the act in question, a la Mario 64. In a similar vein to the likes of Banjo-Kazooie, Mario and Jak and Daxter, A Hat In Time is a fairly traditional collect-a-thon platformer, with a focus on daredevil leaps, enemy bashing and light puzzle solving throughout.
