I could really use another A Hat in Time, honestly. Not the Death Wish part -- I've still got Dark Souls 3 just sitting there waiting for me when I'm ready for that... -- but the chill, cutesy, fun main game part. Anyone got some recommendations?
Hat in time is one of my favourites.
I haven't found another game exactly like it.
But psychonauts has similar gameplay and it's pretty funny.
Thanks. I've already played Psychonauts (and Psychonauts 2!) but that's a solid suggestion.
Have you played Banjo Kazooie or Donkey Kong 64?
Hmm... I'm pretty sure I started both of them way back when, but I don't think I ever beat them. Dusting off the classics and seeing if I'm better suited to them now with the benefit of a few more years of experience is not a bad idea... Maybe I'll give that a shot after I finish Hell Pie.
Thinking along those lines, there's also Super Mario Sunshine, of course, for anyone else looking. (I definitely beat that one though!)
Hell Pie is pretty much a reskin of A Hat in Time if you like the gameplay. However, the theme is toilet humour so it definitely isn't cutesy.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look. Toilet humor isn't my usual goto, but I can enjoy it from time to time; I mean, that boss from Conker's Bad Fur Day -- you know the one, if you ever played it -- is among the most memorable encounters I've ever had in gaming...
Edit: I'm a few hours in now, and I'd say it's kind of like the developers took Conker's Bad Fur Day and A Hat in Time, ground both up with a meat grinder, shoved the mix in a pie tin, added a dash of Ford Cruller's Secret Blend of Psitanium and Spices, and baked in the oven at 350 degrees until well done. I'm enjoying it so far. Fair warning to anyone else reading who is thinking of trying it that it's much more tuned to Conker's style of cartoon violence (with blood and gore) than to A Hat in Time's.
There's a french developed game called Onirism that's pretty cute but with more mature gameplay :3 Here's Gianni Mantagrano playing it: https://piped.video/watch?v=Sac-wsaGBPA
Thanks for the suggestion. Seems to be in Early Access still. I'll keep an eye out for when it's done though!
This might do, i have it next to play for after i finish all the Castlevania Metroidvanias
How does this relate to Summer in Mara? Are you expected to play SiM first? (Or is it better if you don't play that first if you haven't already?) Is this an independent story in the same setting?
Same gamedev studio, same setting, somewhat loosely connected stories but i believe you don't need to know anything to play them
