Our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land praised it for seamlessly transitioning the series' beloved mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D environment. The post-apocalyptic setting, though different from Planet Popstar, is beautifully designed with levels that cleverly utilize Kirby's abilities. This Nintendo Switch 2 version retains all the charm of the classic Kirby games while introducing enhanced graphics and the new Star-Crossed World expansion.
In Star-Crossed World, Kirby embarks on a fresh adventure following a meteor strike, navigating uncharted territory with his unique abilities, including new Mouthful Modes. Nintendo promises an exciting journey through this new content, making it a must-have for Kirby fans.
