Very briefly explained, as much as I adore this game it has it own flaws that I wish were looked back at and revamped including the ones you mentioned. Hopefully this channel gets the exposure it deserves in the future :D
funny that i just bought the game a few weeks ago tho i only did the first mission so this review kind of gave me the urge to play the game lol, great video btw
Have you seen the new game "Hell Pie" yet? it's probably not as good as A Hat in Time, but it's a very nice 3D platformer with some challenging dungeon style (obstacle course style areas within a larger hub, reminds me of a dungeons in an RPG how it's set up) So you have a larger hub world, with multiple smaller dungeons within the hub world. You have a Cherub attached to one of your Horns, and you can use it in a similar way to the hat in Mario Odyssey, but it also has a grappling mechanic which is used to extend your air time while traversing. For someone that is into 3D platformers I'd definitely recommend it.
I haven't heard of it before, but based on the trailers it looks like a fun game. I've noticed that I generally have an affinity for games with a grappling hook mechanic, so I'll probably check it out at some point. I've added it to my Steam wishlist. Thanks for the recommendation.
