We all have a game where we just...disconnect our brain, just to get transported into a confortable and charming universe, carried by a easy, and yet endearing gameplay and a cosy experience
Kirby and the forgotten land is one of this game
Its not my favorite kirby game (kirby 64 goes so hard), but this is probably the most casual and yet charming game on the entire series
All of that is due to 4 aspect
1: the kirby universe, of course, still filled with those lovable nugget of a cast that i want to hug until I cry
2: as per usual, a impeccable presentation, that honestly reach PS4 level of visual ( the opening cutscene alone solidifie this), with incredible models, texture, lighting and animation, that put most Switch game to shame. I can also note the very neat setting of this...abandonned earth like place, that allows a lot of creativity in the visual, visual that are, of course, tag along a awesome ost
3: a very simple, and yet effective gameplay, that make kirby a joy to control, with his usual panel of transformation, that you can now upgrade to became a even more unstopabble beast. Kirby can also, of course, inhale various item in the level, such as car, or distributor, to make this game goofy, but also more fresh at the same time. And kirby can also be helped by non other than bandana waddle dee, who have a entirely different moveset, allowing him to help kirby in this exciting aventure
4. A cosy, and yet endearing level design, that is now one of the most unic in the franchise... because...you know, this game is fully 3d now, and the levels follow a similar structure than in mario 3d World: very linear, but unlike mario 3d world, a lot of secrets are also spread around, secret that can hide a secret challenge, waddle dee to save, trophies, or food....and this formula...is great ! The levels are really simple, but are a joy to traverse, and i just wished that this game was longer, just so i could have even more quality time with kirbo
This game also have a hub, filled with content, and with a place where kirby can sleep...and kirby can also wave at waddle dee's...ok this game is incredible
Also waddle dee's nut
