First comment....... well.... umm.... yeah kirby's pretty cool
I feel so privileged, what a day..... I will buy this. It'll be fun eating almost everything and not putting on weight.
this looks cool
Welcome to the new world is so good oh my goodness
Ive never liked Kirby games but this is a 10/10.
Just finished this one yesterday after it had been left sitting on my Switch for almost a year completely forgotten because of serious video game burnout. I finally took the time to play it again and what a wonderful little game it was. I knew it would be good, but not this good. As always, though, that ending was as absurdly epic as ever, with Kirby games always going full Lovecraft. I absolutely loved it from beginning to end. Simple, colourful fun platforming in this endless ocean of hyper- expensive hundred- hour AAA RPG's is definitely needed.
If you suffer from total game burnout after playing something way too massive, like I did after Hogwarts Legacy, there is no better way to reignite the fun spark than this game.
This is my fav kirby game, a 3D kirby game is something new i hope they make more of them!
