I’m not a huge Kirby fan but I’ve played a few games in the series that I really enjoyed. This game caught me because it looked like they were trying something different. A Kirby game in 3d in which looks like it takes place in a post apocalyptic earth with upgradable abilities? Count me in. I played through the game ,beat it and I don’t think I’ve appreciated difficulty in video games as much as I have playing this. This game is too easy and can feel mindless at times. Most Kirby games have this issue and it’s actually a reason why I find it hard to get into the series. I beat the game on hard mode and it was a cake walk. The second half of the game does get harder but not by much. The game is charming and cute. The music is pretty good. The level design is interesting and incorporates some fun ideas. There’s a town where you can play mini games, fight in a arena, and more. The story is a little messy with the ending feeling like it races from 50 to a hundred. The ending fight was fun and was hype. But a lack of challenge was really distracting. I don’t need my games to be Souls like but some level of real challenge is appreciated. It was fun but not enough for me to consider this a switch classic. If your a Kirby fan you will love it. If you want to take a break from rpgs or more intense games, then play it. I just beat Dragon Quest 11 and it was nice to play something light after that undertaking. If you don’t play platformers, this won’t be the one to change your mind.
