Kirby can take interesting new forms in this release, and the levels are beautifully designed. Game is approachable for more casual players and boss battles were more fun than frustrating. Customization of the village was very underwhelming, bare-boned, and disappointing. My greatest disappointment with this game, however, is that at the end of the game the final boss is "locked" behind your being "completionist" with the previous levels rather than just beating them, so if you want to fight the final boss you may find yourself having to repeat levels (and perhaps even more than one more time). As a busy person with a huge backlog and short attention span, I don't have time to repeat levels of any game unless I loved the game so much I crave the experience again. That was not the case with this game, although I enjoyed the levels the first time through. Because of this, I had to abandon the game right before the final boss which felt very unsatisfying.
