It really does seem like the controversies surrounding it have colored your view a lot more than you know. Just as a game, YL came across to me as "fun but average". I haven't had any desire to return to it like I do with Banjo Kazooie. Hat in Time? That one decided to try some new things and use the collectathon genre as a stepping stone to new ideas. To me, the controls and level design don't even come close, but in the opposite way. The moves and the stage design compliment each other so well and the moves that Hattington has are great for platforming in general. The camera also is MUCH better than YL. Collission detection? I'll have to pay a bit more attention, but for my part I didn't notice it as much as I noticed weird oddities with ramps in YL.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
