The first hack-and-slash I had ever played in my life and I fell in love with this game. The mix of comedy, badassery, and making you think a tiny bit was blended to make a flavor of personality that's unmatched. I also love how whenever I lost, instead of being frustrated, I could learn from my mistakes and become more determined to win. The soundtrack was also a banger all the way through and getting further in the bosses meant you'd hear more of the lyrics was such a creative way to make me more determined to win. I played and beat the entire game in a single session and despite my wrists and hands screaming for the next day, it was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had.

Obviously this wasn't going to be one of the best Kirby games, but it is cute. Admittedly I really didn't like one of the bosses, but the game itself was satisfying to beat. It's got its charms but it's not one to repeatedly go back to since it doesn't have a lot to offer, but for what it's worth it's good.

Somehow they managed to take the greatness of the previous game and improve so much of it. The look of the game is even more beautiful than the first, and the balance between linearity and exploration was wonderfully done. The expansions of the story makes it so engaging so that you could see what happened next with the lovable characters of the previous game while making new friends with the new members of the cast. One of if not my favorite video game of all time.
