Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a visually stunning platformer where you guide Kirby by drawing rainbow lines with the Wii U gamepad. The claymation aesthetic is breathtaking, and the core gameplay of path-drawing is satisfying. However, the lack of direct control over Kirby can sometimes lead to frustration, and the game overall feels somewhat short and lacking in substantial challenge. Despite these shortcomings, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a charming and visually delightful experience.

An amazing artstyle really does make this game stand out, but I was never the biggest fan of the Canvas Curse gameplay style to begin with. This is a worthy sequel, though. Just not something I'm planning to replay soon.
