I mean, it’s a Kirby game. Other than some subtle differences, they all can generally hit the same targets. It’s cute, it’s fun to move around in, getting new abilities is fun, but the gameplay stays at about a 4/10 and doesn’t pick up at any point. Star Allies gets a little bit of extra credit for its wide range of, well, Star Allies. It has a disappointing lack of new Kirby abilities, though. I’m glad I finished it and tried some new characters but I wish I could put it at a 2.75 because 2.5 stars is disrespectful to how cute Kirby is and 3 stars is too high for how mediocre the gameplay is.
