This my first ever Kirby game and I have to say it was quite an enjoyable experience. The gameplay was extremely fun! The game features 2 difficulty modes so it’s great for people who are new to video games and veterans alike.

Kirby is back in a brand new Switch adventure after four years.
Story
A giant vortex appeared in Dream Land and sucked up Kirby and everyone into another world. Kirby then find himself stranded and wanders through a new land full of buildings and new landscapes. But, Kirby is not the only one who got sucked into the vortex. Kirby found a strange creature named Elefin who tells Kirby that Waddle Dees have been captured by the beasts, Kirby is a up to the task to save the Waddle Dees and explore the new world.
Gameplay
The object of the game is to rescue as many Waddle Dees as you can to progress to the next stage. There are 6 worlds and 6 stages with the 6th one being a boss fight. Like many Kirby games, Kirby jumps, floats, and suck up enemies and objects to acquire a copy ability to use against tough enemies along the way, unlike Kirby’s 2D counterparts, Forgotten Lands is now in a 3D perspective which you can fully control Kirby anywhere you want.
While finding Waddle Dees, you will find star coins and objects that require as missions, whether to find 5 tulips, find a secret room or not to get hurt once. Another big feature in Forgotten Lands is Mouthful Mode. Similar to the copy abilities, Kirby can suck up big objects that gives him new modes such as a car, a lightbulb and so forth which helps Kirby progress through the level.
Presentation
Waddle Dees are not the only things to find, there are many special items to collect such as star coins, scrolls for a ability to upgrade and missions to complete. If you manage to rescue a lot of Waddle Dees, The Waddle Dees will build a small village as Kirby’s hub world filled with extra mini games such as fishing, lunch serving, tilting maze and arena. You can also use star coins to purchase health power ups, copy ability power ups and capsule toys. Find more Waddle Dees, and the village will grow more with new areas to explore.
Once you complete a stage in a world, you will find a crakes portal that gives you a challenge on the required ability, complete the training under a certain time limit, and Kirby gets a great Star. Getting enough of them will allow Kirby to upgrade the copy abilities to be more powerful that will be easier to defeat tough bosses. You also have an option to choose two difficulty modes. Spring Breeze Mode is easy mode if you want play the game for fun. And Wild Mode is normal/hard mode which give you 10 star coins after completing a stage. Whichever difficulty you play the game on, you will still have the same fun experience.
Overall
Forgotten Lands is a terrific Kirby game that brings in new ideas for the pink puffball. Like Super Mario 3D World and other open world style platformers, Kirby and The Forgotten Lands is a brand new experience to the series that can give HAL Laboratory new gameplay ideas for Kirby to do. Get sucked right in and enjoy the new Forgotten Land!

Bought this game for my daughter but it's so much fun that our teenager who only plays "real games" is enjoying it just as much. Even my wife who only knew how to play old school Super Mario Brothers likes playing.

I haven't enjoyed a Kirby game this much in years, and I'm glad they finally made the jump to 3D. Easily some of the most simple fun I've had in a while and I think this is becoming a must play for this year.

Kirby is a loved classic by all ages. My daughter whos 12 liked the last few games but easily lost interest finding them very challenging for her. This one has 2 modes to choose from. She has done well on both and finds it much more entertaining especially eating random objects and building up a town. Loves cute little blue guy elffin. Its more catching for kids? I although bought for myself and absolutely love it. I like the othe games to have friends but this concept is different and fun. I like how you feel like you have more of a purpose completing levels on forgotten land more so than in the other games i feel. I would have liked to still have the friends aspect but overall its a great game.

I'll start by saying this: I'm not a huge Kirby fan. I've played Kirby gaems through the years, the most in-depth I got into a kirby game was probably for the N64, Kirby and the crystal shards or something like that. I've always preferred more difficult platformers like Donkey Kong Country, Mari, and Yoshi games. But let me tell you, this game is actually pretty great. We ended up getting because my daughter really liked the demo, and now play together a few times a week, and it is impressive. We are having a great time searching down all the hidden waddle dees, upgrading the town, and cutting the in game grass. Kirby makes a fantastic transition into 3d, highly reccommend this game.

I got this as a birthday gift for my grandson and he loves it. It's tons of fun, and challenging, for hours of play. Kirby lovers will enjoy playing and collecting figures of in-game characters.
