OK, with Isolated Isles complete I’m sitting at 91% save completion—the missing 9% is probably a bunch of sundry things like the True Arena (well, The Ultimate Cup Z), the last Treasure Road level, and so on.immediately after I wrote ‘oh it’s unprecedented for a Kirby game to have a proper epilogue post-game’ I realised ‘wait Star Allies exists and it has Heroes In Another Dimension‘. really Isolated Isles feels like somewhere between HIAD and a Meta Knightmare-type mode—not that Isolated Isles is a time trial mode, but it’s basically a hyper-abridged Extra Game reusing maps from the main story mode. and unlike HIAD the game actually helpfully lets you know when you’re done collecting everything in a given area (thanks Elfilin), so that’s nice for someone like me that prefers to play without a walkthrough if possible.overall I really really enjoyed Forgotten Land (and I’m not done yet—can’t leave that save completion at 91% forever). I imagine some Kirby fans have waited for two decades for a proper 3D Kirby game and this delivers so much. I really hope HAL and other developers push Nintendo to make their next console a bit more performant because I’d love to see this game running at 60 fps and not eat inputs from time to time … but honestly it didn’t even detract that much from the experience.I’d also like to acknowledge how amazing the soundtrack is, which I think we’ve started taking for granted with Kirby games but that doesn’t make it any less true. special shout-out to the track named A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World, which is the final big-rig driving battle music and a brilliant remix of the Invincible Candy theme that made me tear up a little. the godforsaken Invincible Candy theme! not even A New Wind for Tomorrow or the game’s own main theme! but it still sounds great!final verdict is still 10/10, has Waddle Dee Town, would buy twice and would have been 11/10 with either Parasol or a 1P Bandana Waddle Dee Extra Game mode -- source link
