I’ve come to the unfortunate realization after going from playing practically no Kirby titles until 2 years ago and to now playing around 10 that this franchise is superb but it’s just not for me. I get that the series is mainly for children but it’s just so easy that I can never really get into it.

As far as this particular entry it is much of the same, great game but just not for me. The levels are varied, the game controls great and is very fluid, the music is great, and the art pops and is my favorite part of the game. I just can’t help but personally feeling like I’m just mindlessly getting from point A to point B. I truely think my problem is the difficulty. Have you every drove to somewhere that you go all the time and on your way you get lost in thought or lost in your music and when you arrive to your destination your like I wasn’t paying good enough attention and don’t even know how I got here. That’s how I feel about this and most Kirby games. I just kind of play but mindlessly get to the end of the game.

I completely understand this is a me thing and not a general consensus. This is a solid game and can understand why it’s beloved by many. If you are looking for a relaxing Kirby adventure I would say definitely play this game, as even though I have been negative it is in my top 3 Kirby games with Forgotten Land and Planet Robot.

Totally agree, especially on the muscle memory-like feeling and difficulty rating it.
