I love a good 3D platformer, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land is one of the better ones I've played. It doesn't quite get up to the highs of Super Mario Odyssey, but I had a ton of fun exploring the worlds and collecting powers.

Overall, my main complaint is that the game felt too short for all the mechanics it throws at you. There are so many powers to collect, puzzles to solve, an entire town-building minigame, and upgradable powers. At the end of the day, however, I was rolling credits at around the 6-8 hour mark without feeling like I had really gotten the ability to scratch the surface of a lot of these mechanics. I guess leaving me wanting more is better than forcing me to sit through an overly-bloated experience, but it was still disappointing to reach the end so quickly.
