Some games are just a pleasant experience and Kirby and the Forgotten Land is one of them. It's a platformer that is very much lacking in difficulty but it looks cute, the music is nice and is enjoyable to play. The levels are decent and they do some cool creative things with the Mouthful Mode. There's a lot of variety to the copy abilities and they were satisfying to upgrade.

With Kirby being able to float after a jump and him having a lot of health, you'd have to try pretty hard to die. Like a lot of Nintendo games, there is a post-game and optional content that provides a bit more challenge. Trying to hit the target time in the treasure road was probably the hardest thing in the game and I wish there was a bit more incentive to do it. I did enjoy the town building aspect and minigames which I wouldn't have minded if there was a bit more to that stuff. I haven't played any of the previous Kirby games but as his first foray into 3D, it was pretty good and I'd be willing to play more.l
