I'm almost finished with A Hat in Time
100% satisfied, glad I backed this game. I was concerned (before it came out) how fast Yooka-Laylee came out and that this game appeared much shorter.
I'll let anyone know who is considering getting this game: It is much better than Yooka-Laylee. The scenarios are all very unique and, despite how they advertised it, it isn't really a collect-a-thon in the sense it was made out to be. This game is more akin to Sly Cooper and Super Mario Sunshine than the Rareware n64 games.
I'm about to go to bed, so I won't really type more, but while I think Yooka-Laylee might only be fun to people nostalgically, I think that A Hat in Time is more fun and would be more enjoyable to people who did not play those N64 games.
Another one I hope comes to Switch soon.
