PREVIEW: Kirby and the Forgotten Land

It’s too early to tell for sure, but Kirby and the Forgotten Land is shaping up to be the greatest Kirby game ever made. Although we’ve only been given the opportunity to play through the game’s first world, initial impressions blew expectations out of the water. Controls are tight and responsive, the art-style is beyond adorable, and the classic gameplay feel that Kirby is known for remains. There is even an easily toggleable co-op mode so you can share the entire experience with a friend. This could quite possibly be the smoothest transition from 2D to 3D that a game series has seen since the revolutionary release of Super Mario 64.
