Its perfect. There is no need to further elaborate,this is a perfect game, the again this is kirby we are talkin bout so it Sint that surprising that its good
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a successful transition to the 3D platformer gaming space for the franchise. It has a surprising amount of content outside the main campaign such as an evolving home base, fun mini games, and time trials that test your skills with your power ups. While the level design isn't anything you haven't seen before in other platformers of this type, there are some truly creative levels and they are always fun. The side objectives are mostly worth doing since it shows you parts of a level you would not normally experience and helps you to better appreciate the solid level design at play. Also, the ending is surprisingly epic and worth completing the game just to experience it. There are a few negatives to this game that I believe keep the game from greatness.Most of worlds break down to platforming tropes such as water, green land, snow, and lava worlds. The post game worlds are disappointing and are mostly more difficult remixed/reskinned levels from the main campaign with a different type of collectible to chase. I don't like to compare games to each other but I can't ignore that this game is essentially an inferior version of Super Mario Odyssey. The mouth mechanic is essentially the same thing as Cappy from Odyssey and obviously Kirby does not control nearly as well as Mario.Complaints aside, this is one of better Kirby games I have played and it worth playing if you enjoy collectible driven 3D platformers.
Like a lot of Kirby games it is entirely middle of the road, it's non-offensive one way or the other. It doesn't wow nor does it disappoint . No real risks as it's a classic Nintendo playing it safe situation. Moving is also so slow and it doesn't feel that great to run around (expect for the car which is pretty fun to use)
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a bland and uninspired game. Every idea that it has has been done 1000 times over, inside and out, from Kirby's abilities to the worlds to the laughable boss fights to basically everything else in the game. While I know that this is a kids game, it is so braindead in every idea that it has that it becomes a boring slog long before it ends. In terms of performance, it's decent but lacks fluidity. I know it's a hardware pushing game, the graphics are quite impressive for the Switch, but that doesn't excuse that it feels really awkward to play at 30fps, at least for me. I feel like it's so highly overrated just because it's the first full-on 3D entry in the series but as an actual game, it's incredibly lacking in fun and content.
I can't believe I'm writing this. I love Kirby games but the transition to full 3D movement was such a gigantic misstep on their part.
1) Controls often don't register inputs and you're left wondering why attacks don't come out or your pipe isn't jumping. It happened so often I thought I was crazy.
2) The depth perception is really bizarre. So many times I would be running around and just fall straight off platforms and alleys. It often felt uncomfortable or out of place. I'll call it my fault when it is, but this felt constantly strange.
3) Someone had it out for the casual audience. Wild mode? Mostly fine. CBT-levels of time constraints for bonus coins? Well those are for masochists I guess. Usually Kirby games wait till post game to show their hand like this. Strict time constraints on treasure road stages that allow for at most one mistake no matter what? Guys what are you doing?
It's visually cute, has Kirby charm, the setting is almost entirely forgettable with very plain stages... and yet I wanted to play through it until the above glaring issues became too unbearable. Even classic Kirby on the Gameboy didn't play this poorly. I'd love to see a successor for Kirby in full 3D, but if they don't iron these issues out they're doomed to consecutive failure.
