Join Kirby in an unforgettable journey through a mysterious world in a 3D platforming adventure. Float off on an all-new adventure as the powerful puffball, Kirby.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a joyous, colourful adventure that bursting with invention at the seams. It’s a magically daft time, perfect for those nights when the world just looks a little too bleak. With its gorgeous level design and inventive approach to gameplay, a waltz through the Forgotten Lands is a charming way to spend your evenings. The only issues I found were that some of the mini bosses felt slightly repetitive, and the co-op limitations. But, despite this, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a triumph that Nintendo should not forget so easily.

Combat has never been a major part of the Kirby series so it’s great to see some improved controls have been added to take advantage of the 3D nature of the game. You can now block and dodge attacks instead of just pummeling enemies, so you do need to figure out when to attack and when to defend. Later bosses will be one of the hardest challenges Kirby has ever faced in his career, but they are still straightforward enough to overcome without much difficulty.
