Is this an adventure worth devouring, or should this land simply be forgotten? Let’s find out!
Great game! Pleasure carrying it out for the channel as always
Another great review by the legendary Azdin.
@@sevensyns7732 you are too kind 😘
Did you guys send me a message saying I've been selected to win a PS5? Has the channel logo but seems fishy and I'm not clicking on the message unless I know it's from you, if not you might want to check into this. It also says from Whatsapp me next to your logo.
Only Nintendo could make a game easy enough for my 6-year-old daughter to beat and also be just as fun for a hardcore gamer like me!
I often struggle with 3D platformers, so this game seems right up my alley. It just oozes charm and everything I've seen so far immediately lifted my spirits with its cuteness!☺️
Lol ya that's what makes Nintendo so special. They make the most charming and beautiful games

I’m glad to hear that the new Kirby seems to be doing just as good as previous games especially with the transition to a more open 3D gameplay. I unfortunately won’t be able to get my hands on it for awhile but I’m sure the wait will be well worth it!
I wasn't originally going to buy this day one, but the demo charmed the heck out of me. I laughed at the adorable absurdity of Kirby enveloping a vending machine, shooting juice cans out to attack enemies and break down walls. And of course his victory dance after clearing a stage made me smile. Nintendo knows how to delight and this game's no exception.
My impression of the opening cinematic is that Kirby has been taken to a different planet with different physics and atmosphere composition; hence the limited hovering.
Playing this with my 6yo son and we are enjoying it a lot. 🥰
Reported that fake account 🙄
Was waiting for y’all’s take on this! I thought the demo was too easy but I’m glad it gets better as it goes on
I've always had nostalgia for Kirby as Kirby's Dream Land 2 on the Gameboy was one of my first games as a kid. This is the first Kirby game I've played since and I'm so glad I did, this was a fun time and it's great to see Kirby getting the Mario style treatment with his games.
This is only the second Kirby game I've ever played, the first being the original NES game. But I've only played the Demo. Can't afford it unfortunately but I enjoyed the demo. Hope to get it soon.
My 3yr old went absolutely wild watching me play this game's demo. It's the first time she was so invested in any of my games. She was actively cheering for Kirby and telling me what to do next. Might end up buying this just so my kids can play with me lol.
All these years owning a nes, snes, N64, GameCube and Switch I never played a Kirby game until now. Decided to give the demo a chance and I was well impressed. Decided to buy the full game and I’m having a great time playing along with my 5 year old son. The graphics, charm and gameplay is something special.
Great review mate!! Thinking about getting this game for my lol sis but I’d play it as well from the fresh look it’s adorable!!
This game is so much god damn fun. It's been a stressful start to the year, and this game has been a great, forgiving way to unwind after dinner. I especially love the time trials scattered through the world.
Never played Kirby until this demo and I was impressed. Will be playing the full game
I actually like that this is more linear compared to a ‘bigger sandbox’ type game. I also really enjoyed the free demo on the eshop. Will definitely add it to the wishlist
Played some of the demo really enjoyed it will be buying whenever I can thank you for the great review
This game is everything that I wanted it to be really. And it's not an absolute cakewalk. I just think it's so damn fun and full of joy. We need some good straight up fun games in this effed up world and this so hit the spot.
And co-op with my daughter is something I'll cherish forever. Great times.
Nice review Azdin m8. Another day and another game I want! Great video Mark.
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know how much I love your videos. I almost never buy a game without watching your review first.
Some guy is scamming a PS5 giveaway in these comments though but I told him where he could put that PS5!
Thanks for all you guys do!
Great review! I was hoping this was going to be fun to play. Definitely going to look for a less pricey physical version.
Never played Kirby before but I hopped on the demo on a whim and knew I had to get it with my next paycheck. It's a fun game but honestly it just makes me zen af. So peaceful lol it's a vibe to keep in my back pocket forsure
I cant express enough how delightfully satisfying this game is. Especially after suffering from open world game exhaustion. Great review as always!
This game is really impressive. As you said more like 3D world than Odyssey but I personal think thats good. I’m really enjoying it and although it’s not difficult to complete the levels, completing al the objectives isn’t straight forward. Looks incredible on the OLED as well
I really like chill and relaxed games like this. So chill, so cute, something to relax in.
Thanks for the review I loved the Kirby games on 3ds il be buying this 😁
Everyone knows that the name Kirby was a tribute to a lawyer that helped Nintendo in their early days in the US market. What most people don't know is that the design of Kirby is also based on the same lawyer, who was indeed bald and had a worrying Pepto Bismol-like pink complexion.
Suuuure, Kirby helped Nintendo with Donkey Kong trademark!
DEAD
I looooove the NES version Kirby games, which i just discovered 5 years ago, still playing them! So cool there’s a new Kirby, and will be playing it at some point!
Last Kirby game I played was Kirby's Dreamland on Gameboy, but this looks like it's worth picking up. Thanks again!
when i tried the demo and saw that it let's you choose hard from the start i was so happy, i hope they do the same with wind waker, WW in hard is basically cartoon souls
Ended up enjoying this enough to 100% it, was a super charming and fun platformer with some great theming to it (and some stuff to scare the kiddies)
I enjoyed the more linear nature with more focused levels and felt that the detailed environments made the stages that much more enjoyable.
How long did it take you to 100%? Not terribly long clearly lol
I'm not actually a fan of Super Mario Odyssey, whereas SM3DW is my favourite Mario game, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this game take more inspiration from the latter.
Thanks to you guys my backlog keeps growing yet again
Your statement about this game being more like Mario 3D world than Odyssey is crucial in understanding what this game is trying to be. Those expecting an open sandbox with exploration gameplay are bound to be disappointed, while those seeking a linear platformer with brief, snappy levels will have a great time!
how do I get the 10% off on the eshop cards? When in basket it's not applying
I've been loving this game a lot. It isn't very challenging though, which at times is nice for me. Playing this makes me want to pick BioMutant back up.
Really fun game. It's allowed me to have a rest period in a sense. I can enjoy playing this and not feel as if it's a labor to play.
Like me playing Elden Ring 🤣 a labor indeed. But just loved this Kirby demo! A relaxing, fun and cute game! Having played Kirby Dreamland 2 on the original Gameboy makes me want this one.
I have beaten the game but there’s more. I am working on it! Love this game. I got teary eyed. It’s so good! ❤️❤️❤️
Very fair appraisal!! I was also expecting it to be open world like odyssey but the pseudo linear game play perfectly suits this game. Really good fun
Another SwitchUp video babyyyy! I have not started Kirby yet, I’m afraid to play it and it ends lol I’m going to be spending time in a hospital getting some disease and medical issues fixed all at once so I want to save things like this for distraction and entertainment 😅 DISCO ELYSIUM PLEASW GO ON SALE 😭
All the best with the medical issues my friend. Just play it honestly, there’s a lot to do, collect and explore.
@@GrinningWolfGames Hey man thank you! With sickness, you can either let it define and drag you down, or you can laugh through it. I rarely take things seriously (still have my breakdowns 😅). But I’m looking forward to playing! Thanks again 🎉
Truthfully i hope someone sees this. I haven't had this much fun playing a kirby since kirby 64 the crystal shards. It wasn't too challenging until then end (besides some optional challenges) but I wasn't here for the challenge, so it was a nice surprise. The bombastic fun music put a huge smile on my face and just overall i was having a grand time through the entire game and couldn't put it down until i beat it. Currently in the post endgame stuff no spoilers, it is challenging and I'm still having a blast
Also the small details in the game just made me laugh as well HIGHLY reccomend this title
I see kirby around, and i’ve never gotten the hype (but yes he is super adorable, just never really played any of the games). Watched your video, found out they have a demo, and 30 min later i know am highly tempted to buy the game! Darn it!! 😂💸
It’s really good. You’ll be wearing a smile for most of the game.
This coming from someone who hasn’t picked up a Kirby game for close to 2 decades.
@@genericsavings i just bought the game! And you’re right, i’m smiling most of the time (when im not failing at those side quests/games haha 😅). No regrets at all, I’m having a blast!
Been waiting for days to get a copy. Now is the day!
Not usually into the Kirby games, but this one has been pretty damn good so far.
when i tried the demo, i really enjoyed it, its one of the must buy game
How long does it go?
I’m actually happy that with this and Mario Odyssey and other indies M64 style 3D platformers may get a comeback.
Keeping my fingers crossed for more games like this, Nintendo developed or not.
The only new game I’ve been looking forward to! 🙌
I am happy that a Kirby game is finally in 3D but I don’t think I can justify spending $60 for a 10 hour game right now, but it is nice to see that it tuned out more than okay!
This is only ten hours if you speed through every level and collect absolutely nothing and do none of the extra stuff. It’s much much longer if you’re going for a 100%, which has been extremely fun so far. Definitely more worth $60 than most similar Nintendo games, but that’s just my opinion I guess
@@jimmybob5541 Exactly, it took me over 40 hours to 100% it, so $60 is well justified!
Been 100%ing a world a night between my Triangle Strategy playthrough since starting a couple days back and like it a lot.
Gorgeous, relaxing and a lot of fun! I love replaying the levels to finish all the quests. Totally worth it!
This is really a great change in the franchise, little late? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely, most people concern was again the super easy gameplay, it always surprise me that with an allmighty dark lore, we still dont have a more like “hard” gameplay. Maybe will happen like metroid dread, a free update with maybe a more difficult gameplay,but for now as always its gonna be a pain in the ass getting this game at 100%. Damn that collectibles looks fantastic.
Great review as always guys! Keep the good job. Saludos desde México!!!
Have you ever played the endgame stuff I heard kirbys main game is easy but its the afterstory stuff that's the hardest challenges
@@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni getting the hundred % and endgame consumes a lot of time. A LOT, i’ve played, canvas course, nightmare in dreamland, mass attack, adventure, triple deluxe and robobot. I still have to play star allies
I ended up not buying this at launch like I was planning to.
Some day I will get around to adding this and Metroid Dread to my Switch collection, but I just don’t have the time for them right now :-(
9 from me it's my first Kirby game too
I bought this game but I haven't played yet. I figure it will be a very pleasant and relaxing platformer much like Yoshi games
Hey brother I thought you would be getting this one! Give it go! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt ...I'm still so desperate for "SilkSong" (all seemed to start with your Hollow Knight review, will only be right to see the SwitchUp SilkSong review. You guys are going to have a lot of pressure 😂)
If it ever comes out 😿
It's pretty, but at that price I wanted something more. On rails adventuring with a low difficulty just isn't what I wanted. Once the novelty of the visuals wore off, it really wasn't all that different to the last game of two. Ho hum. Back to the multiverse for me. As usual, great review guys. !
I'm gonna pick it up later
😎🤙👍👍
I don’t like really challenging games since I play games to relax. This is a fun chill game.
This is well worth picking up, especially if you are a Kirby fan, this game does him justice for sure. I will always be annoyed by mouthful mode since we've literally seen Kirby swallow stuff almost the size of a planet, but whatever, lol. The mode is still interesting and the plot is actually pretty decent if you are one of those that have been digging into the true lore of Kirby that most never realize.
Honestly even if you all thought it was bad I'd probably still buy it. I love the little pink puffball.
It's my first Kirby game and i laughed at myself for falling for its cuteness. Got whacked by the first fox-doggo enemy you meet because i thought it was an npc to talk to.
He was just adorable
It's a wonderful game! The ones who just drop it beause it isn't as challenging as other games clearly miss out. Really funny copy abilities, tricky time trials, cool boss fights and beautiful graphics.
It's just not challenging enough 😎.
If I want a chillout game I grab Hoa. This just feels like a decaff Mario Odyssey
@@JustSW-DX Well, at least it has structure unlike Eldern Ring in which summons and ashes break the game experience. Why even bother doing anything when good friend Oleg, Mimic and Tiche can take care of most bosses themselves.
@@sparkypack enjoy the game mate 😉. Just not for me. Cool game though!
@@JustSW-DX Thanks, I mean, Eldern Ring is a great open world game despite some unbalanced fights. In the end, we choose what appeals to us most.
I must admit. I have never played any Kirby games before. This looks cute and interesting though. Makes even me want to play it. 😋
By far, one of the best Kirby games in a while
It's a no brainer
@@GrinningWolfGames looks fun to play. I'll keep my eye on this one. Who knows, maybe someday i'll be able to buy it. 😋
Same here!
Game looks like Mario 64, Kirby style lol. I'll definitely pick it up at some point, but most likely during a sale. From what I'm seeing, people have completed the game 100% and it hasn't been out a week yet. I could probably beat this on my morning work commute. So $60 is a bit much for a game so easy that a toddler can beat it. But it definitely looks fun and well made for while it lasts. Great review!! Salute!!!
Oh I have?!?!?! I'll just email you my address, my social security number, my bank PIN, and my father's birth certificate too!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍😉😉😉😉😉🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
It's the type of game you would rent back in the day when that was still a thing, in fact this would be the perfect rental game. It's not quite as open as mario 64 as in that one you could kinda go around and talk to a few npcs, this feels more like a more open gauntlet dark legacy but with mario 64 controls/mechanics.
The post credits game is not very creative and can become a bit tedious, but up to this point the game should be a lot of fun for most players.
As somewhat of a Kirby Fanboy I would probably rate it at around 80% overall.
Planet Robot is still the most fun title in the series to me, which deserves a 90% rating, imo.
Just got to the 3rd world, and really enjoying it so far. The time trials and collection of all the Waddle Dees has been really fun, and a bit challenging sometimes too! Thanks for the great review, guys!
The final collesium bosses are crazy difficult
*Decaff Mario Odyssey*
I played the demo and although I liked it, it just felt too easy for me. Seems to be intended for a younger audience in my opinion.
So the hype I felt when I saw it announced (was planning to buy it) just faded.
Cool game though, but not for me. Great review as always!
Already beat it,but it was so great.
When I play the demo I was like wow this game looks good aha
Everyone says mouthful mode is like the capture mechanic while failing to mention the capture mechanic was already a lot like copy abilities... the thing kirby has been doing for decades lol. I don't think odyssey is to credit much for that really at all, and does it a bit of a disservice imo. Its the same as saying its the dark souls of this or botw of that. Not really saying much while in the same breath making something seem derivative. I see it as a creative addition to how kirby already functions which is justified with him being in this setting. Much like how the mecha in robobot worked
Came a long long way Kirby!
While I enjoyed the demo, I don’t feel too compelled to buy this that quick anytime soon. However, it may have the best rendition of King Dedede’s theme I’ve heard in awhile!
I tend to go by my experienced judgement of over 35 years. But I'm finding, I wait on reviews like this.
We appreciate that mate! Mark
Absolutely LOVIN this game, lads did well
Apparently everyone who says the game is too easy hasn't tried going for 100%. You have to beat like every single boss in the game without getting hit. So it is basically Metroid Dread's dread mode, but in Kirby.
Delightful game. Me and my teenage daughter are playing through. This is not Bloodborne. It’s really really easy, but it’s a lovely time.
Played a bit last night. And it wasn't too bad. Had some funny moments along the way too. But I thought it would be more Land Based & not so small-city based. But I'm only on the first part so, there's that.
I also started Playing the Crisis trilogy again, but obviously on the NSW now rather than on my XB360 or PS3. And it was better graphically & control-wise too, than I expected.
So ill be jumping back on both again shortly.
But Kirby & the Forgotten Land is an kids title, but there's nothing I'd suggest an adult to really be bothered with, because it was created extreamly laid back & lazily. With no thoughts pertaining to making it for adults too. Well, thus far, anyway. But I'm the kind of Gamer who loves games like...

I never saw this game coming and glad i didnt, total surprise.. So fun and fresh.
Weird I hear nothing on this video wth? I refreshed 2 times? Anyone have this issue?
that what I love in game in general to have lots replayability and lots to keep me so much busy to keep me going back for to domes games and get things unlock and cool to great weapons and armour set and upgrades to hopefully they keep doing this stuff and the crafting and potions makeing and boss battle and mouths to ride that makes fall in love with this games do much and so much fun hell yeah and shop's aswell to shop at pick up stuff to forgotten to add
This is Kirby's version of Mario Odyssey and possibly the only Kirby game that I want to play. As with all the first party titles I own, Ill be waiting for a Black Friday sale so it will be awhile for me before i experience that "mouthful mode."
Imagine getting swallowed alive by a pink blob and getting digested. What a horrible way to go. This is true horror.
Hahahaha
This and star allies are vary similar. They both are good. One ends the 2d and forgotten lands begins 3d
Great pun already only 30 seconds in 😸
I was waiting for you guys to review this before I purchased it. Star Allies left me with a bad taste in my mouth. 😂
Only Nintendo can make game after game that's just as fun for a 6 year old as is for a 46 year old.
👍
Imagine Kirby going up on stage during an award ceremony and smacking the host because they insulted dee dee
Really fun and easy. I’m letting my daughter play it when I beat it.
I enjoyed playing the demo..can't afford it yet, a wee bit pricey still.
Terminalmontage has entered the chat.
+ 1 more % bro
I’m pretty torn on this one. It looks like a cute game, but I have never played any Kirby games. It is just a little to high for me with what the content is
I don't understand how I'm supposed to hit the like button on so many videos, when every time I hit like, it saves the video to a like playlist that I can't get rid of! Can someone help me pls!? I'd like to show my support with saving every single video I hit like on. Thanks.
Appreciate the review as ever guys, would you say it's comparable in difficulty to Mario games? I find they normally provide enough of a challenge to keep me playing. In the past however I've often dropped Kirby games after a few hours as they're a bit too easy
It's fairly easy to finish the levels. I think i died twice so far. There is a fair bit of challenge in the challenge rooms or if you wish to go for 100%
Too easy
It’s super easy. But a charming and lovely time.I love tough games, but this makes a nice change.
can't wait to play this when my partner let's me 🤣🤣
Partner what’s that you mean wife?
No lol. My fiancé
Scam bot. Get lost
got this for kids. they love it its not like the OG games insult a toddlers intelligence but just hard enough they need some help and take a few goes to do it
When I played the Demo it reminded me of Last of Us just cuter.
Demo was fun. Can't justify $65 for a 10 hour game tho
