To be clear, the only other kirby game I have ever played is the port of Kirby's Adventure on the 3DS.
This was fun!! I really liked it, I kept thinking about how brainless and simple the gameplay is, but then I had to remind myself that there literally isn't anything wrong with that and not every game has to be Bloodborne or God of War. It does affect my playing of the game, however, the fact that 90% of the game could be beaten by a blindfolded lab rat does mean that I'll probably forget this game exists and that I played it within the next month, and that's a shame, because it's a really fun and engaging time that's paced really well and knows when to shake things up and how to have puzzles that keep your brain in the game without ever having to have you actually think. This sounds negative, but I assure you, I'm just unbearable.
The moment I realised I did actually more than just 'like I guess' this game was when I realised the credits had rolled over two hours ago and I was still playing. On that note, during the post-game is where it goes wacko mode. There's a specific fight (hint - butterfly) where I was suddenly kicked into actually focusing on the fight, and it was a cool moment, and I'm glad it was saved for the post-game as it wouldn't have felt right in the main game.
The music is uplifting and suitably over-the-top, as well as just good listening. The art design is mixed, sometimes being a bit boring but other times being perfectly balanced between detail and atmosphere whilst still keeping it cartoony and simple. The copy abilities are varied enough and fun enough, but I'm not asking for each one to have a full 180 move moveset, but maybe more than just... tap and hold, would be nice. (beware hyperbole, before I get angry replies)
I really liked this game, I really can't think of anything 'objectively' wrong with it, however because the gameplay is so simple and basic I am genuinely sure I'm going to forget it exists within the month, which is a major issue.
