  • The Kirby series is celebrating it's 30th anniversary this year! It has been a great time for Kirby with games such as Kirby's Dream Buffet and of course Kirby And The Forgotten Land releasing. I love the Kirby games, and I knew Forgotten Land would be great. What I never could have imagined was just how incredible it ended up. Is it better than Super Mario Odyssey or any of the 3D Mario games? Time to find out!

    And here we are. A review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. A game that has quickly became one of my favorite games ever.
    I love the level design it’s fully realized and takes advantage of the post-apocalyptic setting, the music and visuals are beautiful as always, Elfilin has quickly become one of my favorite characters in the Kirby Cast considering past entries (Marx and Magolor) and the modes and hub are stellar as well, my favorite being the EX mode since it combines every previous EX mode (Extra Mode, Dedede Tour, Meta Knightmare Returns and Heroes in another Dimension) and makes it work beautifully. And the Evolved Abilities are a fun addition and shake things up a ton.
    The bosses are awesome. Barring Gorimondo since it’s only qualities come before the action, Every boss is good with my favorites being Clawroline, Sillydillo, and the final boss.
    As for my complaints, the Waddle Dees were a pain to find. I like the idea of revealing one objective waddle dee and nudging you towards a objective but it forces you to replay levels if you’re going for 100%. Also the Beast Pack is kinda lacking in lore compared to previous antagonists and some designs don’t do it for me. Leongar looks too basic until Fecto Forgo enters the fray, and I could talk about Clawroline’s design if YT is willing to let my comment stay. Also this is kind of a personal gripe but dodging hardly feels responsive. There are times where I move the joystick to the right or left and Kirby’s dodge doesn’t happen.
    Nevertheless this remains one of my Favorite 3D Platformers. I have my issues and it doesn’t top Super Star Ultra or Planet Robobot but I’d be lying if I didn’t give the this game the rank of treasure. And a rightfully deserved one too. If you made it this far, thanks for reading this.

    Weird that the Switch has both the best and worst Nintendo games in Demeech’s eyes, if the Switch era has showed us anything, it’s that Nintendo is 2 different companies, one that is hands down the best game developer in the industry, and one that gives EA a run for their money in terms of sheer anti consumerism.
    For me personally, the best game Nintendo has ever made is the first Mario Galaxy.
    Edit: it’s so refreshing seeing you love a game like this. Also if there is one gripe I have with both Galaxy games, it’s that the multiplayer is atrocious, I’m definitely going to be getting Forgotten Land, and I’m sure it will end up being one of my favourite games ever too, just not toping Galaxy.

    Hal does what Nintendon't, we have complained for years about the free updates and it doesn't seem like they're going away any time soon, but when Hal made the mistake of locking practically a third of star allies behind the free updates and we called them out for it they delivered KATFL, they made only one mistake, took the criticism and delivered a game jam packed with content and things to do that doesn't require free updates to feel complete. Nintendo really should take notes from this.

    One thing I LOVE about forgotten land is that the game feels organic. The levels instead of being floating platforms in the abyss look like actual places, and that makes the levels SUPER enjoyable.
    But what I like the most was waddle Dee town. It's just super satisfying seeing how the town grows as you progress and get waddle dees, but my favourite thing about it was the presentation of minigames, boss rushes and cinema, I loved how you had to choose a film and then sit in the cinema to see a prior cutscene, or having to join a tournament to participate in the boss rush, it felt so good.
    it was also fun having shops to buy and upgrade things

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land really feels like a direct response to Star Allies. Star Allies' game design just... Was not well recieved. Star Allies was overall just designed to be easy. Dumbed down levels, bosses that go down in seconds due to a lack of scaling health to player count (which Return to Dream Land actually had on the Wii by the way!), a lack of a lot of collectables, and short. To add onto that, it was short. Really short. 4 Worlds, paling in comparison to Return to Dream Land's 7 and the 3DS Games' 6. The series was even experiencing the NSMB problem. But it seems the devs took the criticism to heart, restored the collectables through Waddle Dees, made more worlds again, created amazing and inspired level designs, bosses were difficult again because you didn't have four people whaling on them. Best of all? It's an evolution of the formula instead of stagnation like Star Allies was. They already made three games with that version of the Kirby formula, it was time to evolve again. And now they have. And it created a game that can compete with Super Star Ultra and Planet Robobot as another contender for the best game in the series.
    Edit: I will just say that I've never felt that Star Allies was an unfinished game. Everything that was added onto it does legitimately feel like an addon, since for everything else, it was what was in the 3DS games, just lesser. The updates were legitimate new content. I actually really liked what Wave 3 brought because Heroes in Another Dimension is actually much more enjoyable than the main game. Still can't save the main game from being designed to be way too easy. Forgotten Land is still better.

    • @troykv96
      @troykv96 2 роки тому +1

      Star Allies at base was constructed in a curious way, the second half of the game (specially the last zone) were bigger than the first half of the game, so the game wasn't THAT short, but it definitely in the shorter end of the recent Kirby Games.
      While the game had several mindsteps, feeling incomplete definitely wasn't one of them it was short, but you feel like you got what the game promised with some details here and there.
      I wonder how much it directly affected Forgotten Land's development, but is definitely a game they had in mind when trying to know which aspects to fix about future Kirby games.

    In my opinion, Kirby and the forgotten land isn't even the best Kirby game let alone the best game Nintendo has ever made. Games like Mario 64, Odyssey, Galaxy, DK: Tropical freeze, Super Metroid, Breath of the Wild, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask are contenders for the title of "Best Nintendo Game". However, I do agree with your opinion on its design. It's one of the tightest designed games I have ever played. Saying that it's the best Nintendo game, I feel, is kinda over exaggerating as there are plenty of Nintendo games (pre switch era, please don't hurt me) that are better than it. But, it's better than a lot of what Nintendo's made recently I'll give you that.

    This is honestly one of the best games I have ever played. Ever since Hal laboratory stated that they were working on a new kirby game that would "exceed previous games", I was expecting it to be just kirby in a 3d space and thats all. The September 2021 direct came along, and while I thought they were announcing a new donkey kong game, I was excited to see kirby, but what blew me away is that it was his FIRST 3D game, and it was called "Kirby and the forgotten land". That title excited me because it ment we were gonna explore completely new places. I was very excited for the game, having little to no doubts.
    The January trailer got me even more excited for the game with all the other interesting locations. All I had to do then, was wait for March 25th.
    It has finally arrived. (And here we are!) Kirby and the forgotten land was finally in my hands. I played the game for a good chunk of my day. The game had such good combat, the music was excellent, the game was a whole lot of fun.
    the next day came around. I decided to finish the game that day. The final boss was one of the best bosses I've ever fought. I WAS LOSING MY MIND WHEN I HAD TO MASH THE B BUTTON AT THE END. IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME ENDING TO A VIDEO GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED.
    Kirby and the forgotten is amazing. It's completely on my list of my favorite games of all time. From me anticipating what's in store for kirby, to the release of this fantastic game, This will always be one of the best games Nintendo has EVER made.
    A lot of people (especially twitter) give you flack for being too "negative", but in reality, you're just critical. You truly care about a product, and want to see it improve. Kirby and the forgotten land is a game that proves that criticism is so important.

I remember I went to one of those malls a couple months ago, and I was humming myself the Alivel mall theme.
    Speaking of all of this, there's an outdoor mall in my area, so it's not like Alivel mall, but in fact, it's structured VERY SIMILARLY to new donk city from super mario odyssey. It even opened the same year that game came out! What a coincidence!

Rarely does a game bring out such a level of joy that it'll leave me speechless. The game represents pure fun in it's most purest form. It's head to toe a perfect game in my eyes. Kirby after swallowing a car and bopping to the music is just too cute, to him and what happens during the final boss, if games are rated from 0-10 by reviewers, Forgotten Land mouthfuls past that and is a 100 through and through.I was constantly captivated throughout the entire game, the presentation, gameplay, content, and replay value are all solid.
    You did a phenomenal job covering the game, and I enjoyed listening to your thoughts. It was more than worth the wait unlike waiting for a free update to make a leg-strap accessory usable in a shovelware Wii Sports dumpster fire.

Being that Elfilin is the good within them, they have the capacity to care, but choose to ignore it. Their actions are beyond heinous in assimilating Leongar and the Beast Pack to attempting to crash Planet PopStar into the Forgotten Land all just to kill Kirby out of spite.

    Wondaria Remains is such a disappointing world ngl, they really saturated what could've been such a creative area with a bunch of random platforms, big mechanical toys everywhere, and random mud. No shooting ranges, no ferris wheel, love tunnel, carnival games, an underwhelming "water park," etc... Could've been so much more diverse...

    I agree with so many things you said. I definitely consider this now my favorite Kirby game of all time!
    However, there is one thing I will say this game does worse than Star Allies and that will be the Boss Rush mode. This has one of the easiest boss Rush modes in any Kirby game. Star Allies boss Rush mode was insanely difficult, much like the older games.
    While I don’t actively think Star Allies is a bad game, just a decent game, I feel Forgotten Land made that game extremely obsolete, reminds me of how Mario Party Superstars made Super Mario Party obsolete.

    Kirby And The Forgotten Land Is One Of My Favorite Kirby Games Of All Time. It Has Great Music, Great Boss Fights, Great Characters, And Just Great Everything. My Only Problem Is That It Needs More Playable Characters Like Meta Knight And King Dedede For Example. Overall Its A Amazing Kirby Game!

    Kirby and the forgotten land was amazing it was incredible man when I seen king Dedede running around like a boar at the end of the game I was the edge of my seat I'm like oh my goodness this dude truly lost his mind this, the music was like I don't know how many times they can keep making Kirby music even better, my favorite track in the game is entered The fiery forbinland, the evolved copy abilities were also a ton of fun I really love the Meta Knight sword was my favorite one, the cutscenes look like it would be in a Kirby movie, but anyway this game is incredibly good I hope we get more projects like these in the future.

The one downside is the enemies and objects look like they're from the DS and move at 5 frames per second when they are far away, but it's just poorly optimized. It's the hardware's fault.

    I recently gave modern Kirby a try (played all the gb and gba titles years ago.) I started with return to dreamland deluxe and I had so much fun I decided to give forgotten land a try. I was blown away by how good the game looks, runs really well and the level design was top notch for sure.
    I’ve heard people say it’s a bit short and maybe that’s true but not to it’s detriment I don’t think. They managed to pack so many awesome concepts and ideas into the game. I couldn’t put it down and I definitely can see it holding up on multiple play throughs. It reminds me of super Mario 3d world in a way, just done better.

Hopefully, things slow down for me so I can finally sink my teeth into this excellent experience.

    I got a taste of Kirby and the Forgotten Land on my nephew's Switch. From the bit I played so far...it's shaping up to be a fine game.
    While my opinion could be subject to change, I'm getting a bit of a vibe with Forgotten Land as I have with games like Odyssey, Smash Ultimate, and Mario Party Superstars. That is, all of these are widely praised games with loads of critical acclaim from fans and are objectively better than the immediate games before them. But...with me, I'm kind of idiotic and prefer the flawed predecessors.
    Going back to Kirby, Star Allies is a game that I greatly enjoy. No, it's not coursing with _ambition_ , it's ridiculously easy, and some levels feel empty, but the amount of playable characters with the basic Friends and especially Dream Friends make it hard for me to hate.
    Keep in mind that as I'm writing this comment, I have only gotten through the first world. I am sure that Forgotten Land will get better over the rest of the adventure. Of course, I need to properly get my own copy of the game; I'm only playing it via my nephew's Switch. 🤔
    I'm sorry. Did my comment go on too long? Basically, I like Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Much like Mario Party Superstars, it's a game I can see myself enjoying quite often, but it won't surmount my love for the "lame" predecessor.

    Kirby star allies was a decent game to play, it has superior multiplayer over forgotten land, and i've even had some fun moments during the gameplay (i.e heroes in another dimension) but because it's the same formula from the previous games it gets boring pretty fast and and even with DLC the game is still too short. Forgotten land was a great fresh breath air and I had a really good time playing the game, I enjoyed the Dedede boss battles, his theme songs, and his character development. Morpho Knight's boss battle is much more fleshed out than it was in star allies, the bosses are better, and they're pretty fun to play against, and then you have so many fun worlds to play in that it's great, and you have so much content and lore in forgotten land that it's amazing. But even so I still play Star allies from time to time. The game is decent, it's just that the formula needed an upgrade.
