    I have always found Kirby games to be amazing and this was no exception. Nintendo handled the transition from 2d to 3d in what I would say is the best way possible.

I came out with this being one of my favorite games on the console. Fantastic level and boss design, unfailingly creative, a beautiful art style, a purveying sense of happiness throughout... My only problem is I wish the ending plot twist related to Kirby rather than Elfilin, but that's really a very small nitpick. This game is fantastic. Best Kirby game, easy. Buy it now.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I purchased this game in order to play it in co op with my girlfriend. This is the first Kirby game I have ever finished. This is also the first 3d Kirby game ever made. Here are the pros and cons of this game and how it compares to other games of similar nature.

    Let’s start with the cons first.
    The main story of the game is too short. From the moment we picked up the game up until we defeated the final boss Fecto Forgo it took us around 20 hours. After you complete the main story another side quest opens up. This side quest is about collecting the pieces of soul of a character called Leongar in order to save him. This side quest consists of 5 additional levels. Those new levels are just recycled material from the previous levels you have already played with a bit more difficulty added to them. Those extra levels have the same bosses you played in the main story, just more difficult. I generally don’t like recycled materials in video games. It shows laziness by part of the creators. To me it feels as if the creators wanted to make the game feel longer so they just copy and pasted some levels from the main story to create a side quest. The length of the main story was the biggest deal breaker for me since I didn’t find the bonus content interesting at all. After you finish the main story you unlock the colosseum, but that’s another recycled material that I didn’t like since I have already fought those bosses in the main story.

    The pros:
    This game has a very unique design, a very good gameplay, and the co op is very entertaining even though it has limitations. The gameplay is classic Kirby fun and that was very enjoyable. If the main story wasn’t this short I would have ranked this game higher than Luigis Mansion 3 and the New Super Mario Bros U deluxe. The levels on this game start by being very easy but as you try to collect everything it becomes harder and harder. I enjoyed the progressively level of difficulty.

    I would rank Kirby and the Forgotten Land lower than other multiplayer adventure games that I have played on my switch. My two biggest concerns is the short length of the main story and the recycled extras that it gives you. Is a funny adventure but be prepared for a short game. Buy it second hand. Don’t pay full price.

    Super Mario 3D world 10/10
    Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze 10/10
    Super Mario Odyssey 10/10
    Luigis Mansion3 - 8/10

    This game shows that Kirby should and should only be in 3d. This is such a fun game sure it may be a little easy but the quest that you can do to save more waddle dees make you go in the level over and over again which adds more time playing the game. everything about this game is great.

Siendo este juego mi primera entrada a la saga de Kirby, la historia me ha parecido mejor de lo que suele presentar u juego de plataformas y en los tramos finales gana muchos enteros (de lejos la mejor parte del juego). La jugabilidad está entretenida y el hecho de poder usar los poderes de tus enemigos es una mecánica bastante interesante. Igualmente es una jugabilidad muy enfocada a todos los públicos y para que lo pueda jugar gente de todas las edades, por lo que a lo mejor hay quienes le parece demasiado sencilla. Debo añadir que el lobby principal me ha parecido muy completo y con bastantes cosas extra por hacer. El diseño artístico es magnífico y gráficamente tampoco está nada mal. Los bosses finales de los mundos también me han parecido que están muy bien hechos, con grandes diseños y animaciones; y sobre todo lo que más me ha gustado es la banda sonora, redonda en todos los aspectos. Como puntos negativos puedo destacar la repetitividad en algún nivel en concreto; y principalmente el multijugador, muy mal implementado y nada recomendable de jugar (por lo que a mi parecer se debe jugar como una experiencia de un jugador). En conclusión, la última entrega de Kirby denota el potencial que puede dar la pequeña bola rosa y su mundo y es una entrega muy completa y entretenida para todos los públicos. 8.2/10

    The pink puff jumps into the 3D finally, and is not only this the cool thing. The whole game design is so awesome, levels are very creative, colorful and rich of details. Musics rocks as usual. Abilities are very cool I loved the new two one and challenges are amazing to play.

    Kirby and the forgotten land is one of the best kirby games ever made. But there are some flaws.

    Positives: -Gameplay: controlling Kirby is as fun as you'd imagine even in 3d, the fly ability is really limited but it makes sense. There is a decent variety of abilities, they don't have a lot of moves tho. Mouthful mode is really creative and adds much more variety -Artstyle: the    Kirby and the forgotten land is one of the best kirby games ever made. But there are some flaws.

    -Artstyle: the characters look good and cute, the models are great and everything is charming overall
    -Content: the number of levels is what you usually find in a Kirby game, bu there are lots of extras too. It took me 40 hours to complete the game 100%. The waddle dee town expanding overtime gives off that Mario Galaxy feeling, which is really good.

    Negatives:
    -Graphics: the illumination system in some of the levels is kinda bad, especially in the post story levels and in treasure roads
    -Difficulty: apart from the final challenge, the game is really easy    … Expand

One of kirby's funniest games yet with the introduction of mouthful mode which allows you to suck in certain objects and control them. The theming of most of the levels are unlike what we're used to in kirby games, these are set in uninhabited places previously occupied by humans. These levels are by far best as they utilize mouthful mode in fun ways as well as give us the most unique settings for a kirby game.

    One surprising feature is the ability to upgrade your copy abilities which adds a sort of progression. You do have the find the blueprints and you will have to get the currency but these are not chores and do not require you to grind, you will get the coins through just playing and the stars can be obtained by doing mini levels that take no more than 2 minutes. This lets you tailor the experience and change your favorite abilities into one that fit your playstyle better. Another form of progression is the town, here you can obtain new buildings that allow you to do things such as heal, watch cinematics or play mini games. It is not essential for anything other than upgrading abilities and you'll unlock most of it through just playing so there is no grinding. It's a fun addition that shows your progress when releasing waddle dees.

    There is also a lot to collect in this game, I did not collect a lot but when I was I thought it was quite enjoyable. The collectibles are hidden throughout each level in the form of "gotcha" figures. You can also use a vending machine to obtain any missing ones but its random which you'll get. These are not needed for anything in the game and you can skip them entirely.

    Graphically the game is great, it sticks to its stylized art very well and doesn't have anything that feels out of place. There were times where I had FPS drops but it was very rare and didn't stay that way for long.    … Expand

    Coop mode is, however, the part of the game that has the most downsides to my eyes. It's certainly fun to play in coop but it feels like it has been added much later in the making process of the game. I say that because the camera always centers on Kirby wherever he is and whatever he is doing. If you (the 2nd player) have passed a challenge and Kirby hasn't yet and he falls in the lava for example, the 2nd player is often teleported to the lava too... This feature was often frustrating, especially in the big boss fights where the camera just forces you to die because you're too far from Kirby.

    Besides the coop mode, I guess the game is a 10 for solo players but because of the coop mode that is sort of broken, I have to give it a 9. I highly recommend this game, even if you want to play in coop mode (just be prepared to be killed randomly). Enjoy!    … Expand

    It's Kirby, you can't really mess it up. This one shines best with it's level design and overall charm. Copy abilities feel a bit watered down this time around but something was bound to be lost in the transition to 3D. If you like Kirby games you're bound to like this one too, if not I wouldn't expect this one to win you over more than any of the others might have.

    Después de muchos títulos Meh!, por fin tenemos un Kirby que logra refrescar la formula y potencia al personaje. Es un juego con una historia interesante, buena jugabilidad, dificultad bien medida, gráficos con personalidad y duración adecuada que se potencia en el post game. Lo único malo es que la personalización de la ciudad no escala mas allá de la tienda y coliseo.

    Since 2000, many people have wanted a 3D Kirby game. I didn't, because I wasn't alive back then. But that's beside the point! How is the 3D platformer seemingly every Kirby fan wanted?

But that's beside the point! How is the 3D platformer seemingly every Kirby fan wanted?

    A vortex sucks our pink hero up and brings him, his friends, and 300 Waddle Dees to a new world that seems to be abandoned. He meets a chinchilla-like character named Elfilin, and they need to explore the world. I won't rank the story because that would spoil. Play it for yourself.

    The most obvious thing about it is that it's a linear platformer. A lot of people don't like this. I don't really have an opinion on this. Frequently I compare this game to Odyssey. I personally like Odyssey's gameplay more, but this is fine. It doesn't bring down the experience. The levels are layered with secrets, specifically Waddle Dees that are needed to fight the world boss. I like this. I love exploration in platformers. There are only 12 copy abilities, but they're all fleshed out and tons of fun to use. There are even evolutions! There are a couple of copy abilities you can't take everywhere. They're called the Mouthful Mode. This is where Kirby inhales something like a car or traffic cone. Kirby looks a bit silly when he eats them, but they're all fleshed out like copy abilities and never overstay their welcome. The gameplay is 9.8/10. The only things bringing it down are nitpicks.

    How are the graphics? For starters, the detail is amazing. You can see every blade of grass, every bit of skin on Kirby jiggle, and stuff of the like. It has graphics comparable to Luigi's Mansion 3. It really makes a lost world look lively. The locations are beautiful and creative, such as Alivel Mall. It eerily looks like a normal mall, but it looks lively and not-so-eerie. The music is great, too! There was no bad song, and there were some stellar ones, such as Sword of the Surviving Guardian. The presentation is an 11/10, and rivals Luigi's Mansion 3.

    The game will take you about 15 hours to beat, including post-game. I 100% it, and I got 30 hours on it. There are 300 Waddle Dees as I previously mentioned, and there is another collectible in the post game. There are also collectible figures that you can display in Kirby's home. The content is 9/10. The main game doesn't take too long, but 100% takes just the right amount of time.

    Is Kirby and the Forgotten Land living up to the hype? YES!! I adore this game, and many other people do as you can see below. This is my second favorite game, and many people's all-time favorite.    … Expand

But after the comfortable opening section, the game really ramps up in terms of imagination, visuals and challenging — yes, challenging — bosses. The level design is perfect, crafting a post apocalyptic world that goes beyond the regular ice-lava-sky-sea platformer settings. Hidden collectibles aren’t just there for completionists but to upgrade your Kirby powers RPG-style. And while the inclusion of dodge and guard mechanics seems superfluous when faced with cuddly and harmless enemies, they’re essential for getting past late-game bosses that do not mess around. This is an excellent game, maybe a little on the short side at 10-11 hours minimum, but it doesn’t outstay its welcome and is fun from start to finish.… Expand

    Kirby is an extremely fun game and very kid friendly. The story isn't too complicated and is interesting enough to keep you engaged.

    Kirby definitely take some inspiration from Mario Odyssey and the implementation is good but not as revolutionary as in Mario Odyssey. In Kirby mostly it's only the matter of option instead of functionality and the variations not really that many although the variation comes from you upgrading the abilities which create ton of fun as you progress through each level.

    Difficulty of the game way too easy even in wild mode but that's understandable as Kirby not aim to be a challenging game, instead become a relaxing game. Luckily, the boss design is fabulous so there's a learning process to save all the waddle dees, just don't use any buff to create more challenging experience while playing.

    Regarding exploration, it's somehow way too easy, I kind of expect that hidden path should be hardly noticeable but in this game, it doesn't seem like a hidden path at all. It could be due to my habit of playing any game (search every corner) which makes Kirby not really a pleasant experience when it comes to exploration. Mario Odyssey on the other hand, has a lot of hidden path, room, etc which makes exploration more dynamic and fun.

    Level design is great but somehow (the way I see and experience it) all levels not create equally or at least reach certain standard. Some levels are boring, some are generic and fine, some are fantastic especially the last level which also quite lengthy. Although, I can say that nearing the end, all levels are consistently great. Probably because they throw every element in the game (?)

    The addition of treasure road are great which create more challenging levels as well as teach you how to fully understand the capabilities of all the abilities. Some levels are too easy and some are total nonsense that I barely reach the target time.

    Last the the developer decision of FPS lock-unlock is weird. Kirby is a 30 FPS game but when you in the level or shop menu, the game will unlock to 60 FPS. The inconsistencies really bothers me. I prefer to go all the way with 30 FPS instead of jumping from 30 to 60 and then back to 30 again when playing the level.

    Overall I do enjoy the game although it's completely a very short game for me. The pricing of the game is way too high for such content that offered in the game. Sorry, but I'm a type of gamer that do care about the game length because it's mostly reflect on the content or activities you can do in the game. Of course, compare to the other installment, this one is the best Kirby game ever created.    … Expand

    This game is fun from start to finish. A fresh new entry in the series. The gameplay is a tad simple and and didn't take me long to complete the game. But the content it does have is great. Nothing ground breaking as far as gaming as a whole, but a huge step for the Kirby franchise. Hopefully we will see a future entry in the series with more interesting levels and atmosphere.

    This was the first Kirby game I'd ever played apart from messing around in the originals on Nintendo Switch Online. The game looks amazing, the visuals are bright and fun, and in some of the later worlds they contrasted really well with the slightly darker colours.

The game looks amazing, the visuals are bright and fun, and in some of the later worlds they contrasted really well with the slightly darker colours. The cutscenes were really detailed and fun to watch as well as the fun and easy to learn gameplay. Being able to craft and upgrade abilities by finding blueprints in the levels made for a satisfying sense of progression and replay-ability. The treasure road levels are short but trying to reach the goal time is really enjoyable and challenging. Speaking of challenging the game was pretty easy even in it's hard mode, but it didn't really affect my play through of the game too much, but I can certainly see how some people that enjoy a challenge may be disappointed by it's lack of challenge. The ending of the game is really epic and exciting and felt like a perfect way to finish the game. I haven't really played much of the post game but from what I have seen it looks awesome and introduces some new collectables. The figurines are really fun to collect and display and the fact that you unlock new sets throughout the game increases the games length a nice amount. Trying to save all of the waddle dees makes this games levels really replay-able and forces you too look throughout the whole level and discover fun secrets in the process. All of the abilities feel unique and fun to use, it's really enjoyable to find a different ability and switch between them in levels. The soundtrack is upbeat and nice to listen to while exploring levels. The world variety is much better than games like The New Super Mario Bros worlds which feel predictable and boring at times. Overall this is a phenomenal game that anyone with a switch should own and play.… Expand

    Kirby and The Forgotten Land is a great game, Nintendo did a GREAT job with making a 3D Kirby Game, the story is quite simple which is to expect from this game, I have played other Kirby games in the past and I can say this is one of the best ones yet, totally worth it!

    Un juego de chill muy cuidado y sin límite de edad. Ese es a bote pronto el resumen que más acertado me resulta.

    Un juego de chill muy cuidado y sin límite de edad. Ese es a bote pronto el resumen que más acertado me resulta. Desde el primer momento en el que comenzamos a jugar notamos esa calidad Nintendo, Amada y odiada a partes iguales. Me niego a calificar este título de infantil ya que logrará entretener a pequeños y mayores por igual. Nos encontramos ante un juego sencillo en cuanto a su dificultad incluso en la opción de mayor dificultad. Nuestro objetivo es sencillo, termina cada nivel habiendo conseguido el máximo número de objetivos que te indican antes de empezar cada partida. Si lo consigues progresarás adecuadamente en el juego, si no siempre puedes repetir el nivel y descubrir aquella zona que en tu primera partida pasaste desapercibida. Me gustaría recomendar el título tanto a aquellos que ya estén con otro juego como aquellos que no saben a qué jugar, especialmente a los primeros porque un juego como Kirby te ayudará a cambiar de nota, olvidarte del juego al que estás ahora inmerso, desbloquear tu mente y permitirte continuar después de un rato de chill.

    Puntos a mejorar: Regulero en el modo Dock con resolución baja y algún tironcillo, dificultad muy básica, falta de diálogos hablados.    … Expand

    Quite possibly the best game in the Kirby franchise. Admittedly still a simple game (especially with the neutering of the copy abilities) it provides enough fun to prove this series works in 3d.

    I would recommend this game if your a og or a newbie it's a really fun game and you fight a lot and it's the first 3d game that kirby has ever made and there is a bunch of powers you can use like blasters or fire breath or spikes and there is 7 levels and 11 boss and i recommended that if your kid is around 10 to 13 they will really like this game cuz it takes from 10 to 12 hours

    I admittedly don't have very much experience with Kirby, I really only played the original Dreamland on Game Boy as a kid and Adventure on the Wii Virtual Console. But this truly feels like that perfect 3D translation of the latter's gameplay, in the same way Breath of the Wild was to the original Zelda. Kirby finally made the jump and he did it with flying colours.

    This game is so consistently fun that it was hard to put down. And it's not as easy as I anticipated either. Those early worlds are nice and breezy, sure, but some of those later challenges and post-game bosses are certainly no pushovers. A lot of correct timing and pattern recognition to take into account. The levels are just pure fun and full of surprises, and they really feed into my "comb everywhere and find everything" itch. Between the collectibles, missions, levelling up copy abilities, timed challenges, minigames, and boss rush there is a surprising amount of replay value here.    … Expand

    The game obviously tries not to keep you needlessly long in a single level and is, as is traditional in the series, fairly accessible to players of all ages and abilities, so that it only asks for a challenge at specific moments. It's a shame that those great imaginative worlds and cool puzzles aren't used more. [Issue#319]

    Without a shadow of a doubt Kirby And The Forgotten Land is one of the best titles to have released in 2022. And one of the best on the Nintendo Switch. Offering bright, breezy, and downright fun gameplay all wrapped up with some brilliant and characterful levels and characters. However it may be too easy for the more hardcore gamer looking for a challenge.
