i wasn't really sure how much i liked this and then, when i got to the bonus levels, i realized that i was disappointed that there weren't more. so yes i did like it!

i do feel like there's a little bit less to the game than there appears to be on first glance - the world map is pretty but kind of empty, the side content in waddle dee town is either not spaced out well or is pretty skimpy (or both), and there are so few actual levels. but those levels are so joyful and fun, so it evens out.

and there's a sense of excitement here - last level is the most obvious example, but it really feels like the devs are having fun with the contrasting tones of cute-kirby and apocalyptic-environment. it's got some real kingdom heartsy klonoaness going on, being very approachable but still a video game-ass video game at heart. good stuff.

I didn't think they could one-up themselves after Planet Robobot, especially on their first (real) attempt at a 3D game, but I couldn't be more wrong. The exploration, the minigames, the boss fights—everything translates so well to the third dimension that you are left wondering how they didn't attempt this before. The soundtrack is also top-tier and the level design is just as you would expect from the series: it's a breeze to just move forward and finish the stages, but if you go for the secrets, challenges, and post-game content then you are in for a more refined and engaging experience that makes the transformations mechanics truly shine. 
Highly recommended; it's a modern classic already.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a delightful platformer, full of secrets and charm. Kirby's classic copy abilities as well as the new "mouthful" modes are utilized very effectively to provide a lot of play variety. The audio-visual presentation is gorgeous, and the premise of the forgotten land makes for some interesting set pieces. The game overall skews pretty easy, but was still able to keep my attention with extensive optional challenges and immaculately designed levels. This the platonic ideal of a Kirby game.

Kirby demorou muito para ter o seu primeiro jogo 100% 3D, desde a época do GameCube era cogitado um jogo do Kirby que mesclava 2.5D e 3D, mas esse projeto (Kirby Adventure GCN) acabou sendo engavetado e depois retrabalhado no "Kirby Return to DreamLand" para nintendo Wii. Finalmente depois de muitos anos e só na oitava geração de consoles ganhamos nosso primeiro jogo totalmente 3D da bolinha rosa mais poderosa do universo.

A maneira que a HAL adaptou a jogabilidade do Kirby, fazendo com que o kirby não voe para sempre e tenha um tempo limitado para voar foi uma solução bem inteligente pra não quebrarem o jogo, já que se tivesse como voar infinitamente daria para pular todas as fases. Não vejo porque alguém iria querer pular tudo, já que a graça do jogo é jogar (holy moly), mas ta aí.

As habilidades desse jogo são as melhores da série, devido a mecânica de "blueprints" que são umas receitas que você pode encontrar pelas fases, e utiliza-las para fazer upgrades, o que faz o jogador não ficar utilizando os mesmos movesets o jogo inteiro.

Gostei bastante das bossfights, principalmente a ultima que é MUITO ÉPICA, Kirby Truck Supremacy.

A trilha sonora achei meio esquecível, a única música que eu lembro é a dos créditos "Welcome to the New World!", me vejo cantarolando essa música de vez em quando kkkk.

Achei a ambientação de Mundo destruído muito refrescante, já que todos os outros jogos se passam num mundo mágico(esse também é, mas você entendeu o que eu quis dizer).

As transformações do Kirby, consiste em ele consumir... engolir... possuir objetos inanimados, é a mecânica principal do jogo e a mais nova também, ela é de longe uma das coisas mais criativas do jogo, faz a gameplay ficar muito mais diversificada e divertida.

O jogo é muito bom, com certeza um dos melhores jogos do Kirby.

8/10

It’s Kirby brought into the third dimension. Narratively it’s quite simple; Kirby is whisked away to a new world via a vortex where he finds the Waddle Dee in captivity by the Wild Beasts. Accompanying him on this adventure is a creature named Efflin (and Bandana Dee if you’ve got a second player with you), and together they traverse across the lands to rescue the dees and explore what the world has to offer. Aesthetically the game is vibrant even with the locales being your classic environments, helping with that is the charmingly cute animations and the whimsical music that that capture the feeling of going on a grand adventure. Stages task you with getting to the end, platforming and solving simple puzzles you come across, while saving any Waddle Dees in a given stage. Kirby’s fluid and responsive controls makes it an ease to take on any obstacles the game throws your way, with the copy abilities also by your aide. Each have their own quirks that can be used to vanquish foes or navigate the terrain to rescue Waddle Dee’s, such as using Ice to extinguish flames to pass or travel through the ground with the Drill ability. New to this game is “Mouthful Mode”, which allows Kirby to swallow large objects like vending machines to spout soda cans or cars to traverse quickly thru. The variety in the abilities you can obtain makes it so the games always feels fresh with each ability you decide to use. Plus, you can upgrade abilities so that they become more powerful, which requires you go thru warp roads, star-shaped rifts laid thru out the lands that offer mini timed challenges for star bits, and blue prints scattered throughout stages. Stages are always composed of five objectives, each rewarding you with a set number of Waddle Dees, with the first being a given simply for getting to the end of the stage. Finding hidden dees, taking down posters, defeating bosses in the allotted amount of time are some of what the game task of you to execute a rescue of the orange puffs. All this in order to unlock the boss stage for each land. I never found it to be all too difficult, even playing on Wild Mode, the games higher difficulty. The only thing that got a little irritating was how objectives don’t appear until the stage is completed or you do them while active isn’t the stage, making it so that every time you miss an objective and complete a stage, you have to start it all over again to complete a different objective, which I felt a restart option would have solved the issue. It’s available for Warp Road stages but not main stages. For every number of Waddle Dees you rescue, the more the town, your main hub area, will expand. Here you can evolve copy abilities, fish, participate in tournaments, or even just rest. It was always satisfying seeing the town appear more lively the more Dees you rescued. The game isn’t too long, but I feel it does what it needs to to satisfy my platforming needs.

Overall, I had a fun time with Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It’s a solid time from beginning to end. Hoping a follow up can go further beyond standard affair and do something more extravagant.All that aside, it was a fun time.

RANK: A

after only being 2D for so many years (except for that one 3DS spin-off), I'm glad to say the first 3D Kirby game delivers. great level theming, great visuals, great music, a lot of cool level gimmicks with a great variety of scenarios and situations and a cool narrative!!
I really like how they found a way to compensate for the lack of moveset depth the modern 2D games had by giving us an upgrade/variants system (even though some of these are pretty busted). all the side-content/minigames are fun distractions and the post-game content is pretty sizeable! (even if just a tiny bit tedious if you wanna do 100%).
this game might not wow you away if you've played a lot of more complex/deep 3D platformers but I think it's hard to not enjoy yourself playing this. it is essentially the best basis could have made to expand on it with new 3D games moving forward (if that's what they plan on doing anyway!)

For some reason, the title of the game says that "Kirby forgot to land".... I can't disagree more: I think Kirby landed flawlessly.

Kirby's first jump to full-on 3D was surprisingly incredible. The core formula of the series made a solid jump, which lead to a gameplay that feels familiar, but also different thanks to a nerf of the air mobility and the momentum of the dodges.

The Forgotten Land itself is a giant chage of pace from Dreamland, and it's able to add a lot to Kirby's world and overall "lore". Not to mention that Kirby's main side characters had some great time to shine here... even tho I kinda wish one more classic character was involved into the story (ADO WAS PERFECT FOR THIS SETTING WHY IS SHE NOT HERE)

I don't think it is my favorite in the series. I feel the smaller roster of the Copy Abilities can be heavily felt: I get that most of them were hard to translate in 3D, and the upgrade system is an okay addition to enrich the ones that made the cut. Though it is weird for me to have a modern kirby game without Beam, Ninja or Fighting.

Another nitpick is that I kinda wish it had more "open levels": most of them follow a formula similar to stuff like Super Mario 3D World, which is fine... but I kinda wish more level led to open areas (similar to the first level of the Desert world, where you are able to explore a larger landscape and do different tasks as you want).

Regardless of these personal nitpicks, Kirby and the Forgotten Lenad is amazing. Definitely one of the best Switch platformers, that i feel can go toe to toe with super mario Odyssey. If you are not into Kirby, you will be after trying this!

Já esperava ser um jogo muito bom, mas ainda assim me surpreendi demais. Traduziram perfeitamente as mecânicas características da franquia para um novo formato, mesmo sendo o primeiro Kirby que não é de plataforma, conseguiram acertar em cheio! É muito satisfatório progredir nesse jogo, a exploração é ótima e você é sempre recompensado de alguma forma, seja por achar uma passagem secreta, fazer algum minigame, salvar Waddle Dees, ou até msm jogar na máquina de gacha... Tudo nesse jogo funciona bem dmsss, é um game design muito exemplar. Ah, um detalhe ao fato de que você pode acenar para os Dees no meio da cidade, isso é muito fofo (admito que perdi muitos minutos só acenando para cada cidadão que eu via pela frente XD). Enfim, game recomendadíssimo, joguem se tiver oportunidade, é a melhor porta de entrada pra franquia na minha opinião.
