Return to Dream Land is probably the most traditional Kirby game in recent times. Even more traditional than Star Allies. So while it doesn't break any new ground (even when originally released), it's also very solid since Kirby's Adventure is very solid, which is clearly what this is trying to be. So yeah, if you haven't played a Kirby game before, this is a great entry to start with. Much more so than Star Allies that's for sure.

For those who have played this before on the Wii, I would only recommend if you want to replay the game. The game looks magnificent, and the new content is great, but it is by and large the same game. The new content mostly comes in the form of two new modes. First is Merry Magoland, which is basically just your typical Kirby mini games, though there are a lot more this time. It's pretty fun, though also not much we haven't seen before. The second is an epilogue where you play as Magalor, which is actually pretty great. The gimmick is that you are powering Magalor up, and teaching him new moves so he can get bigger and bigger combos like this is DMC or something. It works really well, though definitely would get quite repetitive if stretched past it's 2 hour length.

So yeah, I quite enjoyed this return to Return to Dream Land. It was just a dandy time.
