The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about a hat in time is "Why did it take me so long to play it??"
A Hat in Time is a homage to old 3d platformers, but that ends here, because it is it's own game, while it does seek inspiration from older titles like Mario Sunshine it implements it way diferrent, it implements it a hat in time's way.
For me the most important thing in a platformer is the controls and how freely you can move, and here while the moveset is not as big as Mario's, the level design is made in such a way that you can fly through the levels combining habilites and hat, it is easy to play but it fells amazing to master the moveset.
Also this game has an brilliant set of characters, there are so many ideas, my favorite one are the birds and the murder mystery(!) chapter, the ideas are so damn good.
This mix of excellent movement, lovable characters, amazing loading screens and music makes for one of the best indie games and 3d platforms out there,it's not just a sunshine or banjo copy, it is just better than they.
