Now when I have played this game to completion, I have realized that this is way better than I have it credit for.

The small number of copy abilities is compensated very nicely by the few there are being upgradable, and the last ones are so broken that you don’t care one bit (Masked Hammer and Morpho Knight Sword go brr).

The difficulty is on the easy side, no doubt about that, but that’s just for the story mode. The side content increases the difficulty for those who want an extra challange. It gave me a few mission where I had to restart. And you of course can’t go wrong with balls-to-the-wall Kirby lore, which made for a great post-game.

The biggest critisism I have is how annoying it is that this is yet another game where you have to take the long way around if you fail a mission and must restart.

And that’s it. That was my biggest complaint, and it’s for something that is optional, and that shows to me how much I’ve reevaluated this.
