5.0 out of 5 stars A Vibrant and Charming Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2022
irby and the Forgotten Land is a delightful addition to the beloved Kirby series. The game follows Kirby as he explores a mysterious new land and restores its lost colors, battling enemies and using his signature ability to inhale and copy their abilities along the way.

One of the standout features of Kirby and the Forgotten Land is its vibrant, colorful graphics. The game's environments and characters are beautifully animated, with a wide range of colors and effects that really bring the game to life. The game's soundtrack is also a highlight, with a mix of upbeat tunes and soothing melodies that perfectly complement the action on screen.

In terms of gameplay, Kirby and the Forgotten Land offers a good balance of challenge and accessibility. The game's controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy to navigate the levels and defeat enemies. Kirby can also use a variety of power-ups and abilities, such as the new "Link" ability that allows him to team up with enemies and use their abilities together. The game also includes a multiplayer mode, allowing up to two players to team up and explore the Forgotten Land together.

Another nice touch in Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the inclusion of hidden collectibles and secrets to discover. Throughout the game, players can find hidden treasures and unlockable content, adding an extra layer of replayability to the game.

One minor issue I had with the game was the somewhat repetitive nature of some of the levels. While the game does introduce new enemies and challenges as you progress, some of the early levels can feel a bit same-y after a while. However, this is a minor complaint, and overall the game is still very enjoyable.

Overall, I would highly recommend Kirby and the Forgotten Land to fans of the series, as well as anyone who enjoys platforming games. The game's charming story, vibrant graphics, and fun gameplay make it a must-play for fans of the pink puffball. Whether you're a seasoned Kirby veteran or a newcomer to the series, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is sure to provide hours of enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long lost GCN Kirby's spiritual successor the world didn't deserve
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2022
I been avid Kirby fan since SNES, called Super Family Computer back in my country. I have played almost every release of HAL Laboratory's pink creation, almost with passion. Kirby Superstar always was one of my favorite Nintendo 1st party title. But as I got older and I moved onto PS2 and GBA, fact Kirby stayed 2D even when Mario was getting 2.5 and 3D treatment was slowly baffling me.

Then, one day, for GameCube, a E3 demo surfaced. One that featured my favorite pink cute creature, running around saving Dream Land! I was awed! I loved it! I really wanted it! It would have given me reasons to buy GameCube, which I held off on, because I was getting distant from Zelda titles (which I still care 0 for), and only game I grew interest in became MGS Twin Snakes, which I highly recommend.

I waited forever for the title to release.

From 2005, we fast-forward, now we're here.

Now, I'm fully aware this game has been built from the scratch, not related to this beautiful game at all. And it's long been confirmed that the GCN and possible Wii edition that it may have existed all went in dumpster only after being in development hell for 11 years. BUT. YOU HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA HOW MUCH THE WORLD NEEDED THIS GAME. Every platformer copy steal ability game lands itself beautifully to our wonderful pinkball here.

And Kirby is here to rightfully take that back from you. Or suck it out of you.

Right out of the box, game plays short cutscene and there's 0 punch holding. You're taken straight into the tutorial, reminded of the familiar controls.

And then WHAT?! I CAN BE A CAR KIRBY NOW?!

And the area can beautifully demolishable just as how previous Kirby games have been, has platform area that you can fall and oof into, just as previous Kirby games have been, but this formula finally got re-perfected in the name of our Holy Pinkness finally fit for the generation that only knows Kirby as that Super Smash Bros. character that is annoying to fight against.

Now I will add back that I have only been playing for about 1h, but this new game almost plays like a journey. You're finding out conspiracy on how you ended up in this Forgotten Land, accompanied by beautiful Japanese song (that probably is definitely the first one!), great orchestra-based OST, and did I mention that Car Kirby is freaking adorable? I heard he has few or form and I'm very eager to find out rest of them.

If you're long fan of older Kirby titles, I am wondering why you're reading my reviews instead of already snagging this title. It feels like nothing new for first few minutes, but that's some of the beauty of the Kirby series. The gameplay feels like something you can jump back into almost any time, even if you haven't played Kirby game since Kirby Superstar. But there's enough new tricks introduced to keep you busy and wondering around the new Forgotten Land for good few hours. Considering last Kirby title was fairly short and took me only about 3 days of casual play to get near 100% completion, I'm hoping this one has far more to offer, which it already has. If you played a lot of platformer, this new Kirby title will keep you busy some time, it got some easy puzzles and here and there moment of "wait why is that there?!" moments.

I think I mentioned Car Kirby is freaking cute already? Lol.

So far, 100/100. I haven't had so much fun with games lately, and this one definitely hits the spot. I love you Kirby. And please don't let my spouse find out I'm cheating on them over Kirby.

My 6 year old loves this game. Kirby is fun to watch and is pretty silly. The game seems challenging and i like that it helps to develop my child’s problem solving skills in a fun way.
