What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?

In our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, we praised it for successfully transitioning the series' beloved mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional space. Despite the shift to a post-apocalyptic setting, the game retains the charm and vibrancy that fans adore, with thoughtfully designed levels that cleverly utilize Kirby's abilities. The Nintendo Switch 2 version enhances this experience with improved graphics and the addition of Star-Crossed World. In this new expansion, Kirby embarks on a fresh adventure, navigating uncharted territory after a meteor strike, using his remarkable abilities, including some new Mouthful Modes.
