Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Star-Crossed World Review (8.5/10)
To get this out of the way first and foremost, the Switch 2 upgrades are quite nice to have in this game. The original only runs at 30 FPS in actual gameplay, and distant objects render at 15 FPS. It was nice to have the upgrade to 60 FPS not only for the immediate surroundings, but that half-rate for distant stuff is also increased to 30 FPS and the distance is increased. I love this game a lot but that was the one thing I really had a problem with.
I haven't 100% completed this yet, but I got through the main story and got the majority of the collectibles.
The additions were quite good, but nothing really insane. For $20, I got I think five hours or so which I'm totally content with. That's not everything on offer either, because I still could do another run of each stage to get the stuff I missed, and there is also an extra challenge mode which I'm sure is going to take me a while to get through as well.
Unfortunately, only one boss battle was added. There are some new transformations that are quite fun, but I wish I got to use them a little bit more. So yeah, nothing too crazy, but it is still more of the same game that I found really fun. There isn't anything necessarily wrong with this expansion.
If you have the opportunity to play this, definitely give it a shot! I had a good time with it.
