A Hat In Time

None

Went back to playing A Hat In Time. The second world is cinema themed and one of the levels is about solving a fun murder mystery.

The next couple of movies Hat Kid stars in are much more fun including a surprisingly challenging parade level.

After hitting a roadblock in the cinema levels of A Hat In Time I moved to another world, which was surprisingly horror oriented. I also found the hookshot ability, which gives some extra mobility options.

After signing a contract with the devil and obtaining the Hookshot I went back to the cinema world to complete a previously locked challenging train level. After that was done the winner of the awards was more shady than he let on and I had to face him in a boss battle for the final time piece of this world.

The levels in Suncon Forest in A Hat in Time are quite horror oriented. This includes a haunted house where you have to mostly rely on stealth.

It's finally time to take back my soul from Snatcher and complete the Subcon Forest. I also unlocked challenges, which seem to be based on already completed levels.

Started a new zone in A Hat In Time called Alpine Skyline. It includes some pretty tough platforming sections.

The Alpine Skyline zone in A Hat In Time is quite challenging. It's much more "open world" than the previous worlds, which led to some confusion.

The final challenge in the Alpine Skylines wasn't a boss battle, but rather a platforming and exploration challenge. After finding all the secrets in the level I did some clean up in Mafia Town.

I found some collectables in A Hat In Time and cleared a race against a Mafia on a rocket. Good times.

A Hat In Time had a fantastic final level. After a challenging platforming section you face off against Moustache Girl in a high speed anime-like battle. In a weird turn of events you get help from the game's villains. The ending itself is touching and funny. Needless to say the game is an excellent 3D platformer with plenty of character and humour. I highly recommend it to fans of the genre. I'll definitely go back to it to check out the DLC levels which came with the physical copy.

Started playing the Seal The Deal DLC level of A Hat In Time and immediately jumped into a challenge. It was surprisingly difficult, but in the end I managed to reveal the backstory of the captain, which is rather tragic.

After completing another challenge I unlocked the backstory of the Snatcher and Queen Vanessa. I didn't think I would care about the most evil character in the game, but boy is it a doozy. There's also some disturbing lore behind the masks you can unlock to see through dimensions. I've also completed the first act of The Arctic Cruise chapter. The ship is a pretty large level with many secrets.

The final level of The Arctic Cruise chapter quite fittingly takes place on a sinking ship. The platforming was rather challenging at places, but after familiarising myself with the level structure things got better. Doing some chores around the ship in the previous level was also quite fun.

Started exploring the Nyakuza Metro DLC level in A Hat In Time. It features many costumes, colours and camera filters. There are even some hilariously described foods which restore your health. I'm glad that there are so many new items where the collected diamonds can be spend.

Continued exploring the Nyakuza Metro level discovering Time Pieces along the way. Unfortunately all of them were delivered to The Empress. If nothing else at least Hat Kid got a pile of cash to make money angels.

Finally found the challenge level in Nyakuza Metro. To my surprise it revealed the story of Hat Kid's robot companion and it was very endearing.

The Nyakuza Metro culminated in an intense chase level. It was somewhat disappointing that we didn't get a proper boss battle against the Empress, but I guess they have to keep some characters for a potential sequel. There was also a new challenge level in the ship which revealed the story of Moustache Girl, but I still didn't care for her. Overall I can fully recommend both DLC levels and especially Nyakuza Metro with all the extra costumes and customisations.
