Game Ratings for Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World Video Game.
TheSixthAxis: 9 / 10
Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition + Star Crossed World is the definitive version of one of the Switch's best games and this game in any form is practically an essential purchase. The new content is well worth the upgrade price too, but if you sold your copy of the Switch version then the full price to return is pretty steep.
Gaming Nexus: 9 / 10 by Eric Hauter
While not redefining the genre, the new Kirby is an insanely clever take on platforming that delivers a ton of laughs with its stellar co-op. The Star-Crossed World material adds a fair amount of value for veterans and makes an already sizable game even bigger for newcomers. This is a fantastic game to play through with a kid or a buddy, with challenges and secrets piled into its densely packed levels. Another winner for the Switch 2.
Loot Level Chill: 9.5 / 10 by Lyle Pendle
Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star Crossed World is the best Kirby game ever made, and on the Switch 2 it's better than ever.
