So being the a first fully 3D open world Kirby game there is, it is pretty fun. Don't get me wrong I'm not gonna go out of my way to replay this game again, I might just touch it every few years or so, but after 100% the game I can safely say, Its a good jab at open 3D kirby!
Though the challenges to 100% are a bit daunting, the dodging machinic really took inspiration from smash with the whole rolling and air dodging, with the added slow-mo effect when you "perfectly" dodge the attack just to retaliate
Story-wise, its your typical kirby game. Kirby gets sucked into a problem they didn't create, finds cute creature, helps cute creature, finds out cute creature is actually some demon, and saves the universe from mass chaos! Typical kirby lore
