Here Comes Niko!

You pick A Hat In Time. Then remove the difficulty, the interesting characters, the whole plot and the cool movement and skills. Now you replace all that with boring same-y levels, WAY too bright and bland art, make everything pink and blue, put repetitive missions, add miserable to find objects and give it a completely forgetable "wholesome" plot. But its ok, because its a "cozy, wholesome and representative game". Not. Here Come Niko! manages to be a game that pleases no one. There is not enough "cozy" stuff to do, that always requires platforming, and the platforming is very bland, usually just to complete the current "cozy" mission. Levels are rather boring, all following the same pattern: big objects, surrounded by smaller plots of land, these surronded by water. Objectives are always the same, sometimes you even unlock "new" objectives on previous levels when you complete them on later ones. The drawings are honestly cute, but the art style of everything else is rather bland. Everything is eye-gouging bright and you can't reduce the game brightness. The 2D character on a 3D plane also makes it hard to guess your current distance to certain objects. I also had a bunch of glitches with this game, the biggest one being most objects in the map becoming invisible, so for about 15 minutes I was REALLY confused on why there were climb spots midair, floating bushes and invisible walls everywhere. After 3 whole levels doing the exact same missions and talking with the same characters, I honestly gave up. Its just way too boring. I'm not expecting explosions and chainsaw fights, but I want something more than jumping in the water 5 times to get fish, collecting 30 butterflies, jumping on pots or climbing on a not that high ledge on every single level.

It's very cute, though the platforming is more on the basic side. I still had a good time with it. Just expect something more about the vibes than platforming challenges. I spent 4h before reaching the ending (but only ~2/3 of collectible), so it was a short and sweet experience. Also, it's not explicitly stated, but I felt the story was very [spoiler] trans coded [/spoiler] :3

Short but sweet game with a very cute art style. You play as Niko, who ran away from their home after an argument and is trying to get the job of a professional friend. The game is a semi-easy collectathon the game will take roughly 5-8 hours to complete (even if you go for 100%) The game does have it's issue tho, there are quite a few bugs (not game breaking) but they can be pretty annoying and I don't think the price tag of 24,50 is that worth it for such a short game. But that aside this game is pretty fun and very cute! Also Dutch developers which is always great. Dankjewel voor deze geweldige game! Final rating - 8/10

Was not worth completing the game. Story had no payoff and gameplay became repetitive quickly

A pretty short but still very enjoyable 3D platformer. You play as Nico who just got a job as a Professional Friend. Go out into the various towns, helping people with their problems and receiving quarters for your trouble. The game plays a lot like A Hat in Time and Demon Tide, so if you're a fan of either of those, you'll likely enjoy this game too.

Pretty fluffy, simple and cute game. I can't say the same for the story in the background but its a good time. Also be careful with the movable objects around, they can be used for speedrun strats.

A cute little platformer/puzzle/collect things game. Quite wholesome and not too difficult. Probably also fun for kids. It didn't blow me away but was fun none the less. Was done with the story about 5HR into the game, then went back to collect everything. I would get it on sale but overall glad I played it.
