What Made Kirby and the Forgotten Land Work
The first fully 3D Kirby, and the surprise is how well it works. Mouthful Mode — swallowing a car, a vending machine, a traffic cone — gives every level a one-off verb, the difficulty is generous without being empty, and the post-game is genuinely hard. It is the best game for a child and an adult to play together.
