Kirby and the Forgotten Land Co-op Review

Team up to explore a post-apocalyptic world in this stellar 3D platformer.

Kirby has long been one of Nintendo and HAL Laboratory’s most versatile heroes, appearing in countless sequels and a number of genres over the years. Still, the mainline Kirby games have always been 2D or 2.5D affairs, which makes Kirby and the Forgotten Land for Switch all the more special. Not only does Kirby’s latest platformer feature a truly unique premise and setting, it also successfully translates the fun, precision, and creativity of a traditional Kirby game into the world of 3D platforming. Oh, and the 2-player local co-op’s not bad, either.

Verdict

The Co-Op Experience: Pass a Joy-Con controller to a buddy to play as the spear-wielding Bandana Waddle Dee and help each other explore and battle through this colorful world. While Kirby can float and inhale enemies, Bandana Waddle Dee can spin and stab with his sturdy spear. Find friendship in this forgotten world and save the Waddle Dees!
