A Hat in Time 

 

Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download code for A Hat in Time on the Playstation 4 before the game came out. This downloadable only 3D action adventure platformer is also available on the Personal Computer, and Xbox One. I found no information at this time of a physical copy of A Hat in Time on any of the mentioned systems. My apology to the millions of upon millions of gamers in the physical copy movement.

A Hat in Time is bright and colorful. Something about the graphical style made my head feel funny. A little girl with a hat is on a journey across space. Where are her parents? She loses fuel when a Mafia guy breaks in through the window. Yes they are out in space. How is this Mafia guy breathing? How does the little girl survive a fall from space? So many questions in this short video game.

There are five worlds to play in A Hat in Time. We are given missions to accomplish in A Hat in Time. Some can be beaten quickly. If you take the time to explore a bit you can find yarn. What does yarn get you? New hats that will give your little girl new abilities. Anyone else creeped out about playing a little girl? Sure I don't mind playing a little girl in a My Little Pony game, but in a game like this one. It just feels odd, off, and weird.

I ran into some odd glitches here and there in A Hat in Time. There are also numerous places where a gamer can get stuck. If that were not bad enough the jumping can get weird at times. Thankfully this character can wall run - for a bit at least. What are short video games known for? Extreme difficulty. A Hat in Time is really easy until you face a boss. Then you better dust off those Olympic skills. I know others who gave up on A Hat in Time during the first boss. Here is a thought - not everyone wants to spend hours trying to beat one boss.

The issues families can have with A Hat in Time is violence, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, crude humor, strange characters, and more. Why is there a little girl with a mustache in A Hat in Time? More stuff that just creeped me out. A Hat in Time never really encouraged me to explore the areas. Which is a shame. I do not want to see sequels to A Hat in Time.
