As a longtime Kirby fan, I'm really glad this game is getting a lot of positive attention from people who fell off of the series and people who've never played a Kirby game before. This is the game the franchise has desperately needed for WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY too long, and it delivered beautifully. This feels like the anti-modern video game, and even the anti-modern Nintendo game in some ways. No DLC, no microtransactions, no promise of free updates, and not even a day one patch. It's just a pure complete game with a ton of passion from start to finish. Some of the level themes are pretty generic, and I wish there was more to do with the copy abilities, but that's where a sequel could easily fix things.
I really don't understand how people fell off of the Kirby franchise in the first place. For the life of me, I can't think of anything that'd cause people to drop off outside of maybe Star Allies... the game that immediately preceded this one. It's been nothing but good games since RtDL.
it’s nearly an perfect example of how to make a 3D game I think personally. It tells you what to do without being too overbearing, levels are simple yet expansive with many waddle dees, and secrets, in nearly every area (HAL rooms and secret paths), the bosses feel perfect as it slowly escalates the difficulty until it hits its end, both the main and post game are equally good, if not (post game) better, as it doesn’t feel like an panning out of a game and the ending feels perfect for the characters, the music, especially roar of dedede, is probably one of Kirby’s best musical outings and the graphics are beautiful which is shown from the building at the start with the music starting at the beginning of this new adventure. I do thing the whole “you get hit by boss, go back to the hub and back to boss level” is a bit annoying, especially for the last no hit boss if your not skilled at the balance of dodge and attack, (without spoilers) some of the beast pack do feel way overshadowed by their other members, and the multiplayer is a bit annoying as one playing can use many abilities but another can only use spear(which is still pretty fun) and the camera can get super annoying for the bandana Dee. However I can forgive that slightly as it would be difficult to corporate the mouthful mode with two kirbies and it looks like bandana Dee is becoming the Luigi of the Kirby franchise which isn’t bad as he is still a lovable bean. Still a really good game, one of the Nintendo switch’s best games, and a better and upgraded game over star allies which is still good but just wasn’t expansive Enough before DLC and even then it can still feel a bit dull compared the return to dreamland and the 3d games. Probably one of my favourite games and would be my favourite game if it wasn’t for I-ninja (underrated XBOX, PS2, GameCube game, personally). I hope this allowed for more in the future for 3d Kirby mechanics, design and with maybe some Kirby characters returning like adeleine and ribbon, I hope these standards are kept for the future.
Glad to know cause I love Kirby and I was scared of not getting my money’s worth and not getting well satisfied with playing the game. Uncle Al your a good reviewer and one of the people that makes me laugh and one of my game critics
Really hope HAL does with Kirby what ID Software did with Doom as both companies struggled to conceptualize transitioning their games, Doom in the modern era and Kirby in 3D. Doom 2016 had the foundation of a boomer shooter in the modern age and from what they learned on the previous title they managed to refine the gameplay for Doom:Eternal, and hopefully HAL could do the same if they attempt another 3D-based Kirby game.
It's neat to see I'm not the only one who considers Forgotten Land one of the best 3D platformers when it's only been out for almost a month now Mad kudos to HAL Labs. They nailed it and it's paying off for them with the overwhelmingly positive feedback
I love how the 3d aspect gives more room to hide collectables, like behind buildings, and honestly, was a blast to play. got to 100% completion and even then, i was still interested in the true area since the different abilities give some variety to how bosses can be defeated
Kirby was a surprisingly fun game to go through. The fact that even though I have a 100% save file there are still secrets and hidden areas I have missed fills me with genuine excitement and makes me want to get back in there and explore the whole game again. This has honestly been the first time in a very long time I've felt truly satisfied in a Kirby game. They shed alot of bad old habits (i.e. heavy reliance on fan service, powers just to fill a quota, etc) and took some huge risks in this game that I feel paid off. I agree with the Co-op issue. My little brother and I played through the game and I felt really bad when he had trouble keeping up with Bandana Waddle Dee's location. They definitely could have handled the multiplayer aspect better but I'm still very glad it's in the game. And also the music was boppin'. Roar of Dedede and the Surviving Guardian are absolute joys to listen to.
I mean, HAL did talk about wanting to evolve Kirby (I think around last year) with the formula and here we are also some of the levels really remind me of mario 3D land back In the day :)
Might not be my personal favorite Kirby game (that honor probably still goes to Kirby Triple Deluxe on the 3DS) but it’s surprisingly tightly designed for Kirby’s first 3D game that I have no problem in admitting it’s definitely one of the BEST he’s been in years. Definitely blows the textbook example of autopilot that is Kirby Star Allies that’s for sure (despite that game’s respectable/charming amount of fan service). Basically what I’m saying is, first 3D Kirby is great, yeah yeah pretty great! 👍
Just wanted to say Al I quite your small edited takes on games, like this or talking about the all stars collection, small comfy funny videos saying what needs to be said, keep em up!
Okay, I’ve beaten the main game and I’m going to start trying to get the rest of the Waddle Dees, do the Postgame, and the other Arena challenges. But what are my thoughts? I really love this game, the controls are perfect, it feels so good to run around, and the dodge roll is a really cool thing to pull off, especially if you time it right, time slows down, and you get extra hits in. I love the new upgraded copy abilities, I personally feel this sense of progression and I just loved seeing how my abilities improved as I got more of the scrolls, and mouthful mode is a really creative and fun gimmicks. The level themes are probably some of the most creative I’ve seen in a while, they look really beautiful here. The level design itself is so expansive, so many hidden secrets and probably some I haven’t discovered yet at the moment of writing this comment. Even the mini games and side content are both kinda fun, the fishing one is really addicting to press the buttons as quickly as possible. The cooking one is kinda neat, but challenging at the harder difficulties. The tilting ball one, I haven’t gotten much into, but it looks interesting. The arena and the bosses in this game are so well done, timing the dodge roll perfectly and just going to town against a coconut tree, a giant gorilla, a leopard performer, the grand knight Meta Knight, and King Dedede himself (Who in my opinion has the best redesign in this game). This game is not only becoming my favorite Kirby game, but one of my favorite games of all time. I’m looking forward to doing the post game content soon. Sorry this comment doesn’t go over everything, but I just wanted to get my thoughts out on this game.
I am a little bummed he didn't go over the story or what happens in it. One of my favorite things about this game is seeing how people react to what happens before the final boss.
Your thoughts on this game are kinda similar to mine. I'm really glad I got this game. I've pretty thoroughly enjoyed my time playing it. And while the abilities are certainly lacking (especially in comparison to past Kirby games) I think all of the abilities are incredibly well done in their 3D debut (Hammer being my personal favorite). And later on, I personally was able to get slused to how few abilities there were and I kinda forgot there weren't that many.
The whole adventure gave off a familiar vibe of subspace emissary and return to dreamland in terms of mechanics, music and battles i hope theyre able continue process this in future games
The funny part is, the only reason there are less Mini bosses are most likely due to the smaller ability count. If we had more abilities we would probably have more midbosses (look at Super Kirby Clash) there are plenty of mid bosses to draw from, but they have a lot of abilities tied to them. Like you said, maybe the future game will have more abilities to offer (as I expect)
IMO this is one of the best Kirby games Ive played. Stands right up there with 64, Superstar Ultra and Robobot and may even dethrone them in a lot of ways. The game in it of itself is a great all in one package, and Im glad that it came complete unlike a lot of the modern Nintendo stuff (though Mario Party Superstars and Metroid Dread were both very concise games that came out last year so maybe were almost out of the woods for these "free update" type games). This was pretty much the only ""triple A" game that I was looking to play this year so i hope Nintendo can pull through with some solid stuff in a summer Direct this year (i dont give a molecule of a shit about pokemon gen 9 lmao). But if not eh, theres still some indies and my embarrassingly big backlog to take down so I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
I had been thinking of playing this game, I haven't seen a really interesting 3d platformer since Mario Odyssey (I haven't played that either, I bet it's at least 80 bucks now, oof.) And this really makes me excited for franchises needing new and fresh experiences! I think I'll have to check this one out!
I wouldn't call it the best Kirby game I've played (I'm pretty biased towards the DS games since I grew up with them) but it was a damn good time and I can't wait to see what's next for the pink puff. Any gameplay concerns I had from Star Allies have been completely negated.
I loved this game and completed everything it had to offer. I agree with many points in your review especially the completion flaws. I’m hoping for a bright future for Kirby.
Kind of a strange feeling not seeing Uncle Al completely shit all over a game, NOT SAYING HE DOES THAT OFTEN, just used to him crackin' jokes every few seconds lol
I’m one of the ten views-neat. This is the best Kirby game I’ve played and I can’t wait to get into the post game stuff. Also agree that the multiplayer does leave a bit to be desired although not a huge thing.
Definitely a great game and arguably the best game from the pink puffball so far Something of note, which is a little spoilery but not for story elements, that I feel is necessary is that there are a couple ability upgrades for sword and hammer that unlock after the main story that do kind of change the way how those respective abilities feel which is a welcome change. If something of a similar vane were there for every single ability, then I believe that would be much more welcome and give me incentive to use an ability other than hammer supremacy, possibly even granting replay value to improve with those hypothetical upgrades and blitz through enemies as fast as possible.
My only gripe with the game is that I wish the story was a bit more dispersed throughout the game. HAL is focusing on world building in the recent Kirby games, but have a tendency to shove most of it at the end of the game and this one is no different. Other than that, great game
I don't like Kirby but I loved this game. I still haven't beaten it, I took a bit of a break. I think this video might've been the push I need to jump back in.
UNCLE!! I wish to know your opinion on Shredder’s Revenge! After you spoke about your love for Turtles in Time and your anticipation for SR, I wanna hear what someone who know what he’s talking about has to say about the game before I check it out myself! Also if you’re reading this you’re obligated to include this comment in the video you make discussing it. Thank you hope you’re well :D
I knew you'd love it, though the thumbnail had me worried lmao. SPOILER: I will say though while I mostly had the same critiques, my biggest problem with the whole game was honestly that the last real world was a lava level. It feels so stereotypical and Kirby games have like, never done that before? The last world of 64, which was definitely the Kirby this game was most inspired by, had some crazy castle designs and popping colors. But I will say FL's final boss definitely did not disappoint.
I don't pre order games anymore but now that I have seen and heard many people of how good the game is and it's been out for weeks I will get the game now this is the one time when Nintendo actually hits a home run
imo Kirby and the Forgotten Land is if you took Super Mario 3D World and added more interesting stuff to collect and made it....fun? I shared most of the issues you had as a Completionist, but I was also shocked by how little the game had in the Powerup department. Many iconic powers like Fighter, Rock, and Plasma just didn't make the cut which felt weird. Hopefully this game gets some type of update or DLC since I really wanted to experience wheel in 3D
I do understand wishing that the camera was a bit better since I played this with my older sister (she was Kirby) but it was still a really good time playing together in co-op! So if anyone who hasn't played this and wants to play with friends. this is a really good game to chill and have fun.
To be honest I’m happy with the amount of Hats and eating transformations there are the transformation sections are memorable the power ups as a kirby fan the upgraded power ups are great while not all of them change largely mechanically i’m kind happy for that too power ups in kirby have not only been kinda pointless unless it’s hammer the past few games along with the chip damage and useless combos in the previous games honestly it wasn’t as fun to inhale things, Making me appreciate the return to basics. For me I think they need to being back the ability to hold power ups it sucked when you had to give up something you’d power up on for something weaker if you were required for a secret.
Honestly I think nintendos single player games are always a homerun. And Forgotten land is no exception. I had a blast with this game and I'm looking forward to the next kirby game.
Personally not my favorite (Return to Dreamland is still king for me) but it is really fun and is the first game since Return to make me replay the game immediately after 100%ing it, I am on my 2nd run rn. My only gripes is that there's no way for P1 to be Bandana Dee which kinda stinks ngl and I guess the fact that minus the challenge stages...this game feels easier than the last 4 modern games minus maybe SA if you only wanna focus on the story modes only, for me at least. Tl;Dr: I like this game, 8.5 out of 10....NOW HAL GIVE BANDANA DEE HIS OWN MODE, DEDEDE GOT ONE IN TDX, MK HAD FUCKING 3 OF THEM, GIBE ME BOI HIS TIME TO SHINE
I just think is alright. I think the upgrades are a cool idea. Everything else is... Just alright. Not saying 3D Kirby bad. I'm just not a Forgotten Land guy.
I disagree immensely with the power ups in this game: not only making just like 12 i think make the power ups we do have to be more integrated with the level and not just make the game easier or just add a billion power ups just for the sake of it. Wich i get that's the best things about the previous games I'm aware experimenting with a lot of abilities are a lot of fun but again it does make the one we do have more focus to the levels and with upgrades just amplify the fun factor. And i also disagree with all the upgrades being just the same but much powerful- HAVE YA SEEN SOME OF THE LATER UPGRADES???? Some of the upgrades are absolutely insane on top of being war shattering!
Loved Forgotten Land. Its not planet robobot levels of good but still in my top 3 kirby games. Its so weird to me how star allies is just stuck in between the 2 best kirby games. God I hate star allies. Not because it is a bad game or anything (because it is merely just a decent game,) but for the fact that it single handedly ruined the series reputation when it came to the 2d kirby games. Its very likely that HAL might not ever return to a pure 2d kirby game once again, planet robobot was when I personally think 2d kirby peaked and it showed that HAL was able to keep things fresh after all these years but due to it being a 3ds game in 2016 it wasn't a huge hit and went under the radar. Despite that I am still happy to see so many newcomers to the series and the strong sales of Forgotten Land. I think this game was the very game to push kirby into being one of nintendo's big franchises alongside Mario, Legend of Zelda, Splatoon and so on. Now it is surely time for Donkey Kong to make that leap.
I have this feeling that this game is going to bring a vore fetish involving Kirby that hasn't been around before and no one has really done Kirby vore fetishes yet. There's vore of so many other things yet Kirby was forgotten. Maybe it'll stay that way. Or maybe I'm just having wishful thinking that there never will be. Vore is weird but I won't stop anyone from enjoying it.
@@Ranxdragon8325 I mean, my favorite part of the game was when King Dedede swallowed the little green thing, and his stomach got all big and started making gurgling sounds
The multiple ways this game tries to cheaply increase it's length is a turn off for me. This is Nintendo we are talking about. Giant gaming conglomerate. If a small indie company can include a retry button on bosses for example then so can Nintendo.
I wouldn't say it was a way to cheaply increase length. The game isn't geared to people who want to complete (Most games aren't), hence the general audience won't really need a "Retry" button since they won't care about completion. That isn't to say Nintendo shouldn't have added one (and they might in the future), but saying it was a deliberate choice to cheaply increase the games length is just a wrong thing to say. It's not like nintendo or HAL or whoever was up in their offices, rubbing their hands together, and going "We will not put in a retry button in order to increase the length of the game". Any game will always have oversights like that. If anything, blame the people who playtested it. Same goes for any other ways you think the game "Cheaply Increases Length". There's always a better explanation than "The team just wanted to cheaply increase length of the game".
Great news, Al! The lord and savior Hugh Neutron is finally coming to Nick All Star Brawl! He really is, check the trailer. czcams.com/video/VjBM1CvZs6o/video.html
As a longtime Kirby fan, I'm really glad this game is getting a lot of positive attention from people who fell off of the series and people who've never played a Kirby game before. This is the game the franchise has desperately needed for WAAAAAAAAAAAYYY too long, and it delivered beautifully.

It's just a pure complete game with a ton of passion from start to finish. Some of the level themes are pretty generic, and I wish there was more to do with the copy abilities, but that's where a sequel could easily fix things.
I really don't understand how people fell off of the Kirby franchise in the first place. For the life of me, I can't think of anything that'd cause people to drop off outside of maybe Star Allies... the game that immediately preceded this one. It's been nothing but good games since RtDL.
Evil Matthew Stuart?
You ever feel like a walking vending machine at times?
Finished the game a few days ago and yeah, this has dethroned Planet Robobot as my favorite Kirby game; can’t wait to see what Hal Labs does next
it’s nearly an perfect example of how to make a 3D game I think personally. It tells you what to do without being too overbearing, levels are simple yet expansive with many waddle dees, and secrets, in nearly every area (HAL rooms and secret paths), the bosses feel perfect as it slowly escalates the difficulty until it hits its end, both the main and post game are equally good, if not (post game) better, as it doesn’t feel like an panning out of a game and the ending feels perfect for the characters, the music, especially roar of dedede, is probably one of Kirby’s best musical outings and the graphics are beautiful which is shown from the building at the start with the music starting at the beginning of this new adventure.

Planet Robobot was more creative in terms of theming, but this game like oks nice and is really fun! Planet Robobot is still second best though
You say Elden Ring is game of the year, but you forgot, Kirby is Elden Ring.
Always great to have your content. Cool video.
Just wanted to say Al I quite your small edited takes on games, like this or talking about the all stars collection, small comfy funny videos saying what needs to be said, keep em up!
Okay, I’ve beaten the main game and I’m going to start trying to get the rest of the Waddle Dees, do the Postgame, and the other Arena challenges.

Hey there my fellow CZcams viewers! How are you all doing?

Other than that, great game
Ngl, the ability upgrading is really cool, giving you more options or power to your abilities tbh, but not much different than the regular ones
Awesome
I don't like Kirby but I loved this game. I still haven't beaten it, I took a bit of a break. I think this video might've been the push I need to jump back in.
Been debating on getting Forgotten Land... But it looks fun!!
Stoked to be viewer number 6 out of 10

I was genuinely sad when I finished this 100% cause I had nothing more to do.
I knew you'd love it, though the thumbnail had me worried lmao.
SPOILER:
I will say though while I mostly had the same critiques, my biggest problem with the whole game was honestly that the last real world was a lava level.

The last world of 64, which was definitely the Kirby this game was most inspired by, had some crazy castle designs and popping colors. But I will say FL's final boss definitely did not disappoint.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land also had a lava/volcano theme for its last major world
Very cool
This video was pretty good

I really wanna play this game.
Dear Uncie Al, Could you review the BattleToads (2020)? It would be cool to hear your thoughts about it.
It was great
I do understand wishing that the camera was a bit better since I played this with my older sister (she was Kirby) but it was still a really good time playing together in co-op!
So if anyone who hasn't played this and wants to play with friends. this is a really good game to chill and have fun.
To be honest I’m happy with the amount of Hats and eating transformations there are the transformation sections are memorable the power ups as a kirby fan the upgraded power ups are great while not all of them change largely mechanically i’m kind happy for that too power ups in kirby have not only been kinda pointless unless it’s hammer the past few games along with the chip damage and useless combos in the previous games honestly it wasn’t as fun to inhale things, Making me appreciate the return to basics. For me I think they need to being back the ability to hold power ups it sucked when you had to give up something you’d power up on for something weaker if you were required for a secret.
One of the sub games is an utter pain given how you control it.
Honestly I think nintendos single player games are always a homerun. And Forgotten land is no exception. I had a blast with this game and I'm looking forward to the next kirby game.
Personally not my favorite (Return to Dreamland is still king for me) but it is really fun and is the first game since Return to make me replay the game immediately after 100%ing it, I am on my 2nd run rn.
My only gripes is that there's no way for P1 to be Bandana Dee which kinda stinks ngl and I guess the fact that minus the challenge stages...this game feels easier than the last 4 modern games minus maybe SA if you only wanna focus on the story modes only, for me at least.
Tl;Dr: I like this game, 8.5 out of 10....NOW HAL GIVE BANDANA DEE HIS OWN MODE, DEDEDE GOT ONE IN TDX, MK HAD FUCKING 3 OF THEM, GIBE ME BOI HIS TIME TO SHINE
Dunno why they didn't add Spark in. It would've worked so well with the button system.
I just think is alright.
I think the upgrades are a cool idea.
Everything else is... Just alright.
Not saying 3D Kirby bad.
I'm just not a Forgotten Land guy.
I disagree immensely with the power ups in this game: not only making just like 12 i think make the power ups we do have to be more integrated with the level and not just make the game easier or just add a billion power ups just for the sake of it. Wich i get that's the best things about the previous games I'm aware experimenting with a lot of abilities are a lot of fun but again it does make the one we do have more focus to the levels and with upgrades just amplify the fun factor. And i also disagree with all the upgrades being just the same but much powerful- HAVE YA SEEN SOME OF THE LATER UPGRADES???? Some of the upgrades are absolutely insane on top of being war shattering!
Loved Forgotten Land. Its not planet robobot levels of good but still in my top 3 kirby games. Its so weird to me how star allies is just stuck in between the 2 best kirby games. God I hate star allies. Not because it is a bad game or anything (because it is merely just a decent game,) but for the fact that it single handedly ruined the series reputation when it came to the 2d kirby games. Its very likely that HAL might not ever return to a pure 2d kirby game once again, planet robobot was when I personally think 2d kirby peaked and it showed that HAL was able to keep things fresh after all these years but due to it being a 3ds game in 2016 it wasn't a huge hit and went under the radar. Despite that I am still happy to see so many newcomers to the series and the strong sales of Forgotten Land. I think this game was the very game to push kirby into being one of nintendo's big franchises alongside Mario, Legend of Zelda, Splatoon and so on. Now it is surely time for Donkey Kong to make that leap.
I have this feeling that this game is going to bring a vore fetish involving Kirby that hasn't been around before and no one has really done Kirby vore fetishes yet. There's vore of so many other things yet Kirby was forgotten. Maybe it'll stay that way. Or maybe I'm just having wishful thinking that there never will be. Vore is weird but I won't stop anyone from enjoying it.
Why would you say that?
@@Ranxdragon8325 I mean, my favorite part of the game was when King Dedede swallowed the little green thing, and his stomach got all big and started making gurgling sounds
Luckily, A pink ball isn't many peoples fancy for body types
Look, I love this game, but it's not the best Kirby game. That title goes to Kirby Planet Robobot.
The multiple ways this game tries to cheaply increase it's length is a turn off for me.
This is Nintendo we are talking about. Giant gaming conglomerate. If a small indie company can include a retry button on bosses for example then so can Nintendo.
I wouldn't say it was a way to cheaply increase length.
The game isn't geared to people who want to complete (Most games aren't), hence the general audience won't really need a "Retry" button since they won't care about completion.
That isn't to say Nintendo shouldn't have added one (and they might in the future), but saying it was a deliberate choice to cheaply increase the games length is just a wrong thing to say.
It's not like nintendo or HAL or whoever was up in their offices, rubbing their hands together, and going "We will not put in a retry button in order to increase the length of the game".
Any game will always have oversights like that.
If anything, blame the people who playtested it.
Same goes for any other ways you think the game "Cheaply Increases Length".
There's always a better explanation than "The team just wanted to cheaply increase length of the game".
too easy for me
" maybe not game of the year,that goes to elden ring"
Laughs in Skywalker saga
