I think I'm done with A Hat in Time for a bit. I've hit a point where it's just not rewarding to grind out the last few achievements and Death Wish challenges, so I think I'll step away from the game for a while. Leave some things for me to do when I come back to the game for the promise second round of DLC. Here are some of my notes on the game from my journal, from different days over the last couple of weeks.

Cut for length )



Hmm. I feel like my tone is overall negative, but I suppose that's only because I took a break or got broken out of the game when I was frustrated. I love the game - five stars,, anyone who likes platformers should play it. I only mentioned briefly the soundtrack, but I find I love it in general - it's bombastic and cheerful, and some songs are so peaceful. I've added it to my rotation of music to play in the background.

Current playtime is 32 hours.

 I've been feeling pretty good since my meds got upped in the middle of January. Mom decided that today we'd go to Costco, to grab just the basics and make the most of the samples, and I didn't think anything of that. It wasn't going to be one of our all day shopping trips, or even a long trip at all. We were there maybe an hour and a half max? and I was just in so much pain when we left, sitting in the car was agonizing. I held myself together to feed the dogs and put the groceries away. I thought laying down for a bit might help, so I went upstairs to lay down and it took four hours for the pain to ebb enough that I could mildly function. An hour and a half in Costco ate five and a hour hours out of my day in total.  It's just... I thought I was doing really well the last few weeks? That whatever's up with my hip had healed more then that? But it turns out it might have been an illusion crafted by the home bound condition of it being hecking cold out. Aided by the magic of low pressure systems.

 

I did play a bit of A Hat in Time early today - made an attempt at the final boss, and actually made it through the level this time. I'd made decent progress on learning the boss's pattern when suddenly the boss just up and despawned from the arena. Just poof, gone - I don't think I'd done anywhere near enough damage for any sort of cutscene to have glitched out. I played around in the arena for a bit, just in cause something was trying to load in the background, and once it was clear nothing was going to change I quit out and I didn't have time to try again. It's a mild delight, because it's been ages since I've run into a glitch that's actually really affected my ability to play a game! As I recall... the last time was needing to wait for collision to load in FFXIII-2, and that wasn't really a hindrance just an annoyance.
