Kirby and the Forgotten Land is essentially an iteration on Super Mario 3D World of all things. It's an inspired choice but it pays off well because the franchise and gameplay changes suit the wider levels more. General gameplay is largely a refinement on what you'd want from Kirby but the switch to 3D allows for new secret design, and there's a lot of secrets to find and
conditions to satisfy to collect all the waddle deez.

The game's pretty hefty to 100%, my gameplay clocked in at just over 22 hours and it's probably the easiest Kirby game to 100% because the game's true arena equivalent can be cheesed with a well spent 600 coins and a specific thing you get later on. It's a Kirby game so it's generally a fun breeze through, outside of the true arena optional power based challenges can be difficult when opting to go for the target times or at least simple but with tight time requirements.

Ultimately gameplay is good but the Kirby charm is what matters and when you fully complete the Waddle Dee town and all your waddle homies are chilling out, eating food, playing music it Feels Good and that's what I want from this franchise so who cares don't read this review or any reviews from this account they're too long they ramble about nothing I got Ds in High School English what year is it I'm going to bed bye
