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

As highlighted in our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, "The game successfully transforms the series' enjoyable blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional adventure. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not resonate as deeply as Planet Popstar, it remains visually engaging and vibrant, with cleverly designed levels that smartly utilize Kirby’s abilities. Despite the shift to 3D, Forgotten Land retains the essence of what makes classic Kirby games so beloved – and if future titles continue this trend, I'm eager to dive into more 3D Kirby adventures."

The Nintendo Switch 2 version enhances the original game with improved graphics and introduces the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new storyline, Kirby navigates through uncharted territories following a catastrophic meteor strike, employing his unique abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to overcome challenges.
