This game is undeniably flawed, the level design and gimmicks are lacking compared to previous kirby games, and core mechanics such as the helpers and ability mixing are half baked. But dammit I cant hate this game. The replayability is off the charts and even then just having helpers and the massive amount of abilities are just nice. Dream Friends is an amazing way to bring back characters across the series, and the story and lore is still unbeaten in any kirby game. It's heavily flawed but it's always a game that I love in spite of that.
