A Hat in Time Review: BETTER THAN SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY?!?!?!

This isn't just a click-bait title I really do mean it. This to me is better than Super Mario Odyssey. This game touched me on a more personal level and has actually made me a happier person since.
I made this post a little longer just so I could give this game the praise it deserves.

Not many indie games really peak my interest. Most of them just don't grip me enough to make me even want to finish them. And after a while indie games in general to me just become this boring mass of uninspired broken tech demos. I have tried many times to find a game that would quench my gaming needs. Whether it's a metroidvania 2d platformer or a rpg I had hope that the community that grew up on the same games as me would make pick up the hammer and build us the games that we fantasized about as kids. But every time I played these highly rated indie games I would be disappointed time and time again.

However there have been a handful of games that have sparked my interest and got my interest till the end. And even I consider these games as classics

I'd have to say that one of the first indie games I really got into was Undertale. This game is one of the only rpgs I've ever finished. It really got me with the great characters and memorable locations that you explore. The characters you met felt so real and you got to really see their personalities and struggles in their life. It was lighthearted but overwhelmingly sad at the same time. The game even made you take responsibility for your actions. If you did something by accident not even restarting the game would make the game forget. And after 32 hours in the game I can safely say that it's on my top 100 games of all  time.
But what does this have to do with A Hat in Time?

Well A Hat in Time hit me the same way that Undertale did. The characters in the game give the same charm and loveability that Undertale did. Although A Hat in Time doesn't have the sense of dread and meaninglessness looming over the player like Undertale did. A Hat in Times goal isn't to make the player depressed, it's simply to give a good time. The game itself takes after Super Mario Sunshine and other 3d platformers that came out around that time. The game prides itself with it's art style and cute as heck nature. For goodness sake this little girl is named "Hat Girl" and you can blow kisses and raspberries at people. This game never falls short on creativity, whether it's a town only populated with mafia that only refer to each other as "mafia" instead of using names or a movie studio were you help fuel two movie producers in their feud between one another. The game give you tons to do and doesn't tell you how to do any of it. You could be given a mission and completely ignore it and do something else on the other side of the map.
I simply can't get enough of this game and luckily for me they are adding 2 more worlds on top of the 5 already in the game! A Hat in Time fills that large hole in me I never fully realized was there. I give it a solid 10/10 and my personal Game of the Year award!
