Ultra Hat Dimension - Switch Review (Quick)

I really wanted to like this game. The first few levels of Ultra Hat Dimension gave me hope that I would have fun with it. The object of the game is to disguise the witchy protagonist with various hats in order to sneak past robots who also wear hats. The
