Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World Review

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is still a great platformer three years later, and the Star-Crossed World DLC that comes as part of its Nintendo Switch 2 Edition adds a few more amusing levels to the mix – but that’s about it. A couple of cool new enemies, funny Mouthful Mode transformations, and clever ideas put its 12 stages in the top half of the heap overall, but with little beyond that, this comes across less like a proper expansion and more like a DLC level pack to invite you to come back for a weekend. It’s all fun enough that it’s fairly easy to recommend to anyone who has been dying for more Forgotten Land since finishing it, but doesn’t feel like an upgrade that will irresistibly suck you in like one of Kirby’s mouthfuls.
