I’ve already stated my full opinions on the game in the “Rate the Last Game that You Played” thread, so I’ll try to keep it slightly more brief.
I enjoyed my time with this game enough to 100% it. It is quite easily the most fun that I’ve ever had with a Kirby game. That being said, I have the same issues with it that I do with most other Kirby games, and that is that it never does anything to really stand out.
The entire reason this game exists is that “Kirby hasn’t gotten a 3D game before.” It’s a step forward for the franchise not because they had a vision to make a new experience, but because they felt obligated to finally make a 3D game a good 20 years after they realistically should’ve. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but the entire game feels like it exists to be compared to other 3D platformers, or even other Kirby games.
Honestly, most of the things I enjoyed about forgotten land have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it’s in 3D.
Now to be fair, I’m absolutely certain that the game being in 3D makes it far more fun than if it wasn’t, and the games marketing doesn’t really make a big deal of the fact that it’s the first 3D game, but that’s definitely the vibe I get from it.
Like I said, it’s easily the most fun I’ve ever had with a Kirby game, but one that I feel is completely shattered if you compare it to most other recent platformers.
