Best Kirby game in decades.
The series feels like it's moving somewhere at last, even if it's still Kirby in most ways, FL brings a lot of fresh air into a clinically unchaning series by simply changing the perspective and moving away from side scrolling only. It's been since maybe 2007 that Kirby walked on a Z axis.
It's a new favorite alongside Super Star Ultra and Robobot, the only thing that I holds it back substantially is the multiplayer. Kirby isn't known for the multiplayer, but I have always enjoyed the split screen and Star Allies made a fun date night game. FL split screen is lazy, P2 can only be waddle dee, and after the variety in Star Allies and SSU this kinda sucked. That's the only reason Forgotten Land stays a tier bellow the best Kirby games.
