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

From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: “Kirby and the Forgotten Land masterfully translates the series’ beloved mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D environment. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically rich as Planet Popstar, it's beautifully vibrant and features cleverly designed levels that smartly leverage Kirby’s abilities. Despite the shift to 3D, Forgotten Land retains the charm of classic Kirby games. If this signals more 3D adventures for our pink hero, I'm eager to dive in.”

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game includes the original game with improved graphics, alongside the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new content, Kirby must harness his incredible abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through uncharted territory following a devastating meteor strike.
