This game is definitely a much needed step forward for the Kirby Franchise. I have played Kirby games ever since the 1992 Kirby's Dreamland on Gameboy, and finally I get to see our pink puff ball get his adventure in 3D, officially! (Yes there was 3D Rumble, but that was mini-game like, IMO)
This is very enjoyable especially with a 2nd player as Bandana Waddle. The graphics are colorful, vibrant, and some parts are breath taking, like several entrances to stages.
The reason I am marking this game 4 out of 5, is a couple of negatives. First off, no online play, so you can't co-op with someone/a friend online. Second, while Bandana Waddle Dee is great as a 2nd player, its a bummer that they didn't include a few more options for Player 2 to choose from. Player 2 will always be locked to "Spear" Ability for the game's entirety. Kirby has a collection of different movesets, and can upgrade them even more powerful movesets. So that's why, Waddle Dee only for Player 2 is not my most favorite. If fan favorites like Meta Knight, or King Dedede also became playable, like say you unlock them, that could help bring at least some variety for P2. Just look at the variety of playable characters in Kirby Star Allies, that game was fan service central with ALL of the characters that were playable.
Now in a graphical sense...it is sad that such a jump forward for Kirby is capped at 30 frames per second. Because games like Kirby RtDL, Kirby Triple Deluxe & Kirby Planet Robobot were all Kirby adventures that ran at a smooth 60 FPS. So its a bit jarring that 30 fps is the standard for both Kirby adventures on Switch.
I did enjoy the inclusion of Amiibos. (I am a big Kirby fan, can you tell by my attached picture ;) ) Its nothing ground breaking, but every level, you can scan the same amiibo once per level. I liked how they gave you bonuses based on the character. Like for Example, scanning Kirby gives a Life Up to increase your max health temporarily, scanning King Dedede gives you a Attack Up for 200 seconds (Very useful against bosses giving you a hard time), and these items you can keep in your inventory as you adventure so you can keep a hold of it and use it when you want.
In conclusion, this is a fantastic game, and you and a friend will have a good time exploring and finding the cleverly hidden secrets!

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a charming and engaging 3D platformer that brings the beloved pink puffball to life in stunning detail. With vibrant graphics, catchy music, and creative level design, this game is a must-play for fans of the Kirby franchise and 3D platformers in general. The addition of new mechanics and responsive controls keep the gameplay fresh and enjoyable throughout. Highly recommended!

Kirby returns in this new adventure. Our favorite pink ball allows us to explore an adventure alongside him once again. The new mechanics make this a Kirby game unlike any we've seen before.

Another great Kirby adventure! I am in love with this game. It looks amazing on my OLED Nintendo switch. The game could be a bit longer, but the story is good and it is something fresh that new and old fans will enjoy.

Kirby And The Forgotten Land is is a fun-for-all game with a charming aesthetic and vibrant visuals!
While the game is sold at the eh price of $60 to $70, it is still pretty fun, especially for being a Kirby game. There are plenty of unique challenges to keep you coming back as well!
