This game was very nice. I enjoyed playing with Molly. Co-op is very lackluster as P1 is Kirby and P2 is locked to Bandana Waddle Dee. P2 sits back for much of the game while kirby gets new abilities, upgrades and mouthfuls. Very disappointing in that respect.
The world's are varied and very pleasant to spend time in. The music has no business going so hard. The ending CG cutscene might be the best thing I've seen on the switch. The combat is passable and gameplay rather basic.
The ability upgrades are great and give great incentive to explore, revisit the village and pursue challenges. Unfortunately these challenges are only for P1, so more sitting and watching for P2.
Despite being rather basic and a Kirby game I got hit plenty and even died once. It was certainly easier in Co-op mode, but it still felt like the game was scaled. Molly carried me through much of the combat.
I discovered the block & dodge roll 85% through the game. Maybe that's why it was hard before? It made the game easier.
Level 3 ice is a busted power in the best way. Highly reccomend.
As with many Switch games I feel ripped off at $60, but there's enough content here to reasonably delude yourself. I had a lot of fun with my time.
