A Hat in Time is a super fun platformer. It’s bursting with creativity and the hat abilities are just plain fun. Can’t believe I missed out on this gem before. Plus, it started as a Kickstarter project. Pretty cool. I’ve bought the ultimate edition and playing it on Switch. The DLC just adds to the awesomeness. If you love platformers then you gotta check this one out.

I played it some years ago, there are a surprisingly lot of platformers like this going under people's radar.

I've been meaning to get to this for a long time now. I think I might even own it on Steam, I'm not for sure but I think it was part of a Humble Bundle a while back. I need to try it out.

Edit: Just checked and I'm wrong, don't own it. Definitely wanna try it though. I'll make a point to do it at some point.

You have to check it out. This game is criminally underrated.

I got the plat trophy for it, it's genuinely great

Game was released the same year as Mario Odyssy, so it got buried. But those that found it, really liked it.

Im not big on 3D platformers, but this one has always stuck out to me, mostly because of the whole JonTron cancelling fiasco. I dig the art style. Thanks for reminding me it exists. Might have to finally check it out.

I’ll need to buy this some day

Spark 2&3 are another ones i've been meaning to play. Basically a Sonic-like platformer but good.

Its very fun but the best camera type for it isnt the default, I still cant believe giving you control isnt the default.. I had always hoped they would make a sequel that would improve on some of the weaker aspecks of the game because its one of my favorite 3d platformers. For example Yard collecting being basically useless after you get a couple.

Finally was able to check this out (currently on sale on PSN) and man, Im kinda crushed. Waited years to finally try it.

I just cant get used to the way the camera works. I went to the options and made sure I could manually control it, but you cant adjust the sensitivity so it feels really slippery and not comfortable at all. Up and down on the right stick zooms in and out so I dont feel like I really have any kind of true camera control. It reminds me a ton of fighting the camera in the first Epic Mickey.

And to make sure I didnt think I was losing my mind with 3D platformers, after I uninstalled it I went and grabbed the supposed medicore as fuck Yooka Laylee for 3 bucks and Im finding that it feels much better to play. For me at least.

I swear the last 3D platformer I really enjoyed was Psychonauts 1/2. Hopefully Astro delivers.

The default camera is bad but the manual camera worked well enough (not as good as modern cameras but still) nothing is diffucult enough to require a better camera until the 1st dlc, then it becomes a real issue, luckilly thats a small peice of the overall game.

I made sure to keep your post in mind about the camera and made all the proper adjustments before diving in and...yeah...it just didn't work unfortunately

What other ones are there? I love me a good 3D platformer.

Penny’s Big Breakaway comes to mind, I guess.

Pumpkin Jack looks like it would go perfectly hand in hand with something like Costume Quest during the Fall gaming season

This game was great! Played it on PS5 a few months back and its a pretty reasonable platinum too.

It's $15 right now on PSN. Regularly goes for 30
