Flush with a gorgeous and uplifting soundtrack, Forgotten Land is a heart-warming and no-stress experience while providing some fun challenges and deeper upgrades should you want them. Either way, this is a must-have game and yet another instant Nintendo classic that's not only warmly familiar, but also subtly inventive in a way that'll keep you hooked until the end.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is far better than I could have imagined. Its ruined yet beautiful world carries a tone of wonder and amazement throughout the entire game, and HAL Laboratory undoubtedly stuck the landing while transitioning the series’ gameplay into 3D. Though I am disappointed in the small number of copy abilities, the game’s issues are mere bumps in the road compared to its many triumphs. It is the only game I can think of to make me cry from the sheer joy of how cute and heartwarming it can be, and it is in my opinion the best game Kirby’s name has ever been on.

The way Kirby and the Forgotten builds on the traditions of the series really makes it feel like we've entered into a new era for the pink puffball. The bigger, more open 3D setting full of challenges and inventive features makes this an unmissable adventure for long-time fans. And for newcomers, I can't think of a better introduction. There's just no holding back my excitement about what the future may hold for the series going forward. Kirby and the Forgotten Land truly is a delight from start to finish.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is an adorable game with creative levels that make the most of the excellent power ups like mouthful mode, and it’s all set to a remarkable soundtrack. There’s a surprising amount of extra activities, and levels do a superb job of incentivizing you to seek out hidden objectives in order to expand the charming hub town and power up your arsenal. The technical shortcomings and some minor platforming woes at the hands of the camera work are the only blemishes on an otherwise marvelous game.
It likely won’t win over those who have already explored Odyssey’s vast platforming landscapes, but this is an ideal first step for those entering the world of gaming – or for those who simply want a relaxed co-operative experience with a healthy sprinkling of Nintendo magic.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land may not be the revolution some were expecting, but it is still a great platform game. We love the new transformations, setting, and lots of extras and minigames.
Look, if the Telegraph’s scoring policy would allow me to give extra points for cuteness, this game would be our highest rated game ever. I really mean that. Nothing else I’ve played comes close. Kirby makes the characters of Animal Crossing look about as appealing as the beasts from the most recent Resident Evil title. But The Forgotten Land feels like candyfloss, all sweetness but not enough substance. Kirby is one of Nintendo’s quirkiest and most charming characters, but he deserves better than a reheated take on one of his big brother Mario’s most forgettable outings.
love this game, its so cute and fun! u have so many abilities and fun levels, plus the game looks so good on the switch oled especially! <3

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.
