A Hat in Time Ultimate Edition Free Download Unfitgirl A Hat in Time Ultimate Edition The game isn’t perfect, however. There are a few things which do spoil things a little – some of which are specific to the Switch port, but not all. A Hat in Time may be one of the newest 3D platformers on the block, but it still hasn’t solved that one big problem that has plagued most 3D platformers since their inception: the camera. It is strange that despite Super Mario 64 having arguably one of the best cameras in any game, none of its imitators have ever managed to devise their own camera even remotely on par. A Hat in Time is better than most, but the camera does find itself in the least useful position on one too many occasions, and this can be frustrating during intense scenes. We don’t want to overstate the problem – the camera is good enough, at least in line with its peers – but the quest to find a camera for 3D platformers that matches the one seen in Nintendo’s own efforts goes on. A bigger issue is something we see all too often with ports to the Switch – performance. Despite only targeting a relatively conservative 30fps, the game misses this target regularly.

The issue isn’t so much a low framerate as an inconsistent one, with A Hat in Time noticeably failing to hit its desired rate much of the time, which results in juddering effect that looks worse than what the actual framerate suggests. Very real drops in framerate occur as the complexity of the stages increases, which makes things even more inconsistent. Unfortunately, 3D platformers are a genre where a consistent framerate is particularly desirable due to the huge amount of camera movement and precision leaping, and the performance here isn’t really good enough. Perhaps related to this, the developers would appear to have oped against using anti-aliasing. Nintendo themselves do this frequently, but in this case, the result is often ugly, jagged edges that stand out even on the portable screen. Reining in visual effects to reach a constant framerate is acceptable, but here we have the worst of both worlds with the game still missing its performance target despite these cutbacks. However, by far the most significant issue is the occasional actual pauses to the gameplay. These can be almost as long as one second and can occur during particularly intensive scenes (one example being when the UFOs use any kind of attack). These pause the entire game and did make us momentarily think that the game had crashed. They are relatively infrequent, but significant enough when they do occur that it severely impacts gameplay. It’s worth noting that the developer has said that a patch to fix various issues is on the way, so these technical hiccups could be a thing of the past in the coming weeks.

Cute hats, magical yarn and snappy badges

Also, like other console ports of this game, the Switch edition doesn’t have access to the vast array of user-made content which has spawned a vibrant modding community for the PC edition of this game. The game’s utilisation of Unreal Engine 3 as well as being bundled with the Unreal Editor has resulted in massive community efforts to create new stuff, ranging from customisations, new hats, new weapons and skins to entirely new stages. This isn’t a problem that exclusively affects A Hat in Time on Switch as the open nature of the PC platform means that most games can be modded to a degree, but the community is so vibrant and the content so interesting that it is something to consider if you have a PC and are wondering which platform to buy this title on. It is a testament to the quality of A Hat in Time however that none of these issues are significant enough to change the fact that this is still an excellent game. It’s a hugely charming, fun and refreshing 3D platformer that stands as one of the best attempts to fully revive the genre. Issues with performance give way to the fact that the worlds are so unique, and every act so fascinating in its concept and execution that there’s no putting the Switch down until you’ve finished. People on the fence about which version of the game to buy might want to keep the above issues in mind, but for everybody else, this is a brilliant and hugely enjoyable game which we highly recommend.

Conclusion A Hat in Time is a hugely enjoyable take on the classic 3D platformer. The tight, familiar controls and varied, innovative levels result in one of the most fascinating and entertaining games out there. The issues with performance and the camera do little to wipe the smile from our faces while playing through this; if you adore the likes of Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, then you’ll fall utterly in love with A Hat in Time. Disclosure: Ziff Davis, IGN’s parent company, recently purchased Humble Bundle, the publisher of A Hat in Time. This technically makes us the publisher. (We didn’t actually know about that when this review was being written.) Humble Bundle and IGN operate completely independently, but going forward, all Humble Bundle-published games we cover will have a disclosure regarding our relationship, and we will endeavor to use freelance critics to review them when possible. There’s a mafioso floating outside Hat Girl’s pillow-stuffed spaceship, miles above the planet below, decked out in a blue blazer and an apron that says “Kiss the Cook.” He probably should have been a lawyer, judging by how he chooses to interpret the situation.

“What is this? Flying boat?” he asks. “All boats need to pay toll in Mafia Town … even in space!” It’s one of the first moments in A Hat in Time, and it sets the tone for the bizarre 3D-platforming antics that follow. Seconds later Hat Girl refuses the pay his toll, prompting the lunkhead to smash the ship’s window, which turn sends the 40 magical hourglasses that power Hat Girl’s ship careening down to the planet below, along with poor Hat Girl herself. Hat Girl later returns to use her spaceship as a hub for her adventures, taking time to board up the hole by hammering nails in the glass. Apparently. Yeah, A Hat in Time gets pretty weird. But it’s the good kind of weird: the kind that kept a big, stupid grin on my face for the next 11 hours or so. I loved almost every moment of it, thanks in a large part to its personality, its mostly creative levels, and its wonderful 3D platforming that recalls the glory days of the Nintendo 64. The utterly adorable Mustache Girl swears herself as an enemy. HALO WARS 2: Complete Edition

You might be thinking from the title and all those hourglasses that A Hat in Time has as much time travel stuffed into it as an entire season of Doctor Who. Oddly, that’s not the case, and A Hat in Time seems barely interested in maintaining any kind of storytelling momentum, much less staying on topic. For instance, an utterly adorable adversary called Mustache Girl swears herself as an enemy early on but is basically forgotten for hours while Hat Girl busies herself chatting with trenchcoated crows and bartering her soul to maniacal forest spirits. It’s a bit like watching a series of Silly Symphonies – the early, wacky Disney shorts that often had little in common with each other besides a few recurring characters. A Hat in Time encourages this association, as it kicks off each new zone with a hand-drawn title card as though a cartoon were to follow instead of a platformer. At times, the segments varied so greatly in theme and setting I felt as though I were playing entirely different games. Deep forests populated by creepy spirits come later. There’s the sunny, cluttered alleys of Mafia Town, where loveable louts brag about their degrees in “mafia” amid a colorful but largely aimless landscape that initially feels like a by-the-numbers 3D platformer.

Murder on a train! Parades! Trespassing in a movie studio?

(It does much to make up for this, though, with an exhilarating 2D boss fight demanding perfectly timed leaps before a crowded stage.) But Hat Girl’s adventures grow more focused when she ventures into a movie studio where an owl and an Elvis-like penguin compete for awards while our hero stealthily avoids the gaze of crows on a sepia-toned Orient Express. Deep forests populated by creepy spirits come later, as well as soaring alpine peaks and beautiful, abstract hidden bonus zones that exist mainly to challenge your platforming skills without the need to conform to setting, much in the way of Super Mario Sunshine.
In a weaker game this extreme variety might be disconcerting because of a perceived lack of focus. But I found the constant shifts in setting were what kept me interested, as well as the frequent opportunities for A Hat in Times’ adorably goofball and occasionally dark humor. Repetition barely exists as a result, save for the enjoyable and tight platforming dance of running, jumping, collecting baubles, and belly-flopping over chasms. It only suffers on account of the occasionally wonky camera that seems to be the curse of just about every 3D platformer ever made.

On their own, these ingredients would have made have made for an enjoyable but unsurprising 3D platformer. But let’s talk about the hats. I love the hats. The main goal of A Hat in Time may technically be collecting all those lost hourglasses, but that’s never so much fun or as rewarding as finding all the bits of yarn that let our hero craft new hats. One might be a visor that lets her race across landscapes; another might be a witch’s hat that lets here concoct a brew she can throw like a grenade. By the end I had so many I could have opened a hat shop, and I liked that the associated abilities encouraged returning to previous zones so I could find extra hourglasses and – more importantly – more hats. Badges add to the sense of discovery, too, which grant Hat Girl perks such as automatic loot pickups or a last-second parachute that lets our hero correct herself after a bad jump. A Hat in Time, oddly, is a game that grows more enjoyable as the levels progress. This isn’t just because of the excitement of discovering new hats and badges, but also because the levels themselves increase in creativity, size, and rewarding challenge. A Hat in Time is almost never exactly linear, but it’s definitely at its best when it gives Hat Girl a clear goal, allowing both the platforming and the storyline to slip into a satisfying flow.

Get past Mafia Town, and you’ll find yourself zipping from door to door on a moving train, using hat abilities to hunt for clues and get to keys that unlock other doors beyond precariously placed platforms. (If you need another Doctor Who reference, the train itself is much “bigger on the inside.”) Elsewhere, you’ll sneak through the labyrinthine backstage of a movie set where humans are banned, timing your moves so as to avoid being seen and getting slapped with astronomical fines for “owl harassment.” The flow gives purpose to the platforming, and so boosts the fun. “Charm” is a word that gets thrown around far too often in discussing games these days, but virtually every frame of A Hat in Time warrants it. Months from now, I’ll likely remember it less for all the bouncing around and more for Hat Girl’s “can-do” look at she dons a deerstalker cap before solving a case or for “Corgi Quest 7: The Leashes That Bind,” the text-based RPG she plays back on her ship. It captures the spirit of early Nintendo not only in the strength of its platforming, but also because of its near-saccharine purity, which gets smartly shattered at perfect moments such as when Mustache Girl starts talking about cutting up all the mafia guys and stuffing them in little jars.
