Great charm and high accessibility tried, but could not save Kirby Star Allies from what it is: A fun, but short and weak ride through Kirby's galaxy.

Great soundtrack, sweet graphics, an endeering 'heart mechanic' and the easy to pick up controls helped the game to move on its own, but it just wasn't enough. Luckily enough, I played Kirby Star Allies entirely on co-op mode and that helped my experience immensely. Not sure I'd have enjoyed had I played it solo.

With all that said, this entry in this lovely franchise is just weak and shallow. Short and easy to a fault. It makes finding collectables and reaching 100% a boring chore and the level design is just bland.

It's fun, but it gets old quickly and just doesn't change things enough as other Kirby titles did.

I really didn't have high hopes for Star Allies, but damn... The only way I'd recommend this is if you have someone to play it. Otherwise, just stick with the other Kirby games.
