Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Kirby's first foray into a fully 3D adventure and they pulled it off so well the first time because this is hands down my favourite Kirby game. They managed to translate the gameplay of the 2D games so well into 3D that there's nothing I really feel like is missing from the 2D games. This could easily be the new formula for the Kirby series going forward.

This game has absolutely no business being this epic.
I never thought I'd be screaming in my living room like I was a character from Dragonball Z while playing a Kirby game.

Kirby finally gets a full 3D title!
Platforming and action all feel really solid, with a great soundtrack.
Level design feels good, pretty typical 3D Nintendo game. There is a world map where you pick a stage, and stages are broken up in smaller isolated areas, rather than open world.
Kirby is the delightful little pink puffball we all know and love.
His abilities in this one can be upgraded at a shop in town by spending currency found in game, letting their attacks evolve. The town also has a few mini games, in game video cinema, gotcha trophy machine, and a kitchen to buy an extra healing item to keep in your pocket if things get messy.
Each level has specific extra goals (these are widely varied, and are revealed after you finish the stage once), each rescuing a Waddle Dee which are your main goal for the game.
Couch co-op multiplayer works great, 2nd player gets to control Bandana Waddle Dee.

Rating: 7.5⭐
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first 3D kirby game, and a step in the right direction. The game is fun, it looks really good,but it feels too simple and maybe too easy. I would've also liked more unique abilities instead of variations/upgrades but it's cool i guess. Overall the game is good, but pretty forgettable.
Played on: Steam Deck😅

What can I say that hasn't been said? New favorite Kirby game. Best in my opinion. I really don't have many gripes with the game. The jump to 3D was damn near perfect. I did miss some other favorite abilities like Spark, Wheel and Water but they went for quality> quantity for their first 3D Kirby game.

Poyo!

one of the best if not the best game on switch hands down and thank you Nintendo for keeping couch coup alive and well.
