* MagnificentBastard: [[RailEnthusiast The Conductor]] and [[DiscoDan DJ Grooves]] are a pair of eccentric rival film directors who rope Hat Kid into their latest competition for the annual Bird Movie Awards. Fashioning Hat Kid into the star of their latest films, the Conductor stages a fake murder for footage while Grooves runs a PR campaign to boost her popularity. For the climax of their movies, the two put Hat Kid through bombastic, dangerous, challenges. [[spoiler:[[StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter Whichever one wins the Award]] then steals a Time Piece in order to go back in time and make it so they’ve won every award, with the loser informing Hat Kid of the betrayal so she’ll stop him. When confronted, the winner utilizes various props in combat before stopping the fight to earnestly try to win Hat Kid over, only to use the opportunity to plant a bomb on her which the loser manages to defuse. When Mustache Girl steals the Time Pieces to judge everyone, the directors put aside their differences and [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice themselves to help Hat Kid defeat her]] and, when brought back, beg Hat Kid to stay on the planet and remain their friend]].

Pretty transparent rephrasing of 8.8, dissonance isn't exactly a good review vs a really good review


* CriticalDissonance: Gamespot gave the game a 7 out of 10; on its own, a score that designates the game as "good but not great". But the only real cons the review listed were finding the first world "uninspired", and considering the voice acting over-the-top. The former is something that most fans ''heavily'' disagree with, and the latter can be turned off in the Options menu, something WordOfGod even pointed out in response to the review. These two minor issues being worth three whole points off of the score upset a lot of people, even those who didn't particularly like the game.

Massive critical acclaim seems like an overstatement, and saying fans rated it well seems tautological


* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Considering the notorious reputation of Kickstarter-backed games like ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'', as well as the mixed-to-negative reception of ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' a couple of months prior, many gamers and backers were starting to become skeptical and doubtful of ''A Hat in Time'' over fears that it would be "just another failed Kickstarter game". However, fast forward to October 2017, and those fears were lifted when the game was finally released on the same month. It received massive critical acclaim from fans and critics alike, and it even managed to get a 10 out of 10 score on Steam. As a result of this, many fans consider this game along with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' to be the true revival of the 3D collectathon platformer, as well as one of the best games of 2017 by far.

** One level has Hat Kid help solve a murder mystery on a train, and she can choose herself as the perpetatror for the crime. Come late 2023, and ''A Hat in Time" would be featured as a skin pack along with other indie games in ''[[VideoGame/AmongUs AmongUs]]'', meaning Hat Kid can once again help solve a murder mystery (for real this time), or potentially be the murderer herself.
