Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 37 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Positive (74 of 102 positive).
Players praise the game's blend of match-3 with RPG elements and base building. [1][2][3] Some find the game too difficult and luck-dependent, especially in battles. [4][5][6] Several reviewers note issues with cascades not rewarding subsequent matches. [2][7][8]

Pros: 1. Nice visuals, animation and sound. 2. nice "setting" (should it be aplicable to such type of a game, of course). 3. Some interesting gameplay ideas (i loved lighting up the lamps with help of gem matches; colour sequences to fight some monsters is a very interesting idea; switching locations during the game is nicely done). Cons: 1. a lot of non-match 3 minigames, which are important for game progression. …

Let's make this simple: If you play Match-3s on "Relaxed Mode" -> This is an "almost", "relaxing" type of game. If you play on Timed/Challenged -> ........... Please don't. You see... This game is both unfair and unbalanced. If you play on ANYTHING BUT RELAXED...? YOU WILL BE PUNISHED! You already know Match-3 is all luck based. FINE! But know this... This ISN'T just Match-3s! You also have... Find two/three similar …

Yes, I'd recommend this game to a player looking for something a little more than just the usual match 3. It has base building, upgrades for your heroes, quick memory games, Match 3 board puzzles and Gems War-style Match 3 battles, nothing we haven't seen before in match 3 games over the years, but here they're all together in a cohesive game that's plays smoothly and gets progressively more difficult as the game …

The Forgotten Land is more than your average match 3 game. It features several types of stages including, battles, puzzles and memory matching. The game tells an overall story which players follow along by completing different levels. How well you complete a level allows you to gain ruin stones that can be used to upgrade your character(s) attributes. The attributes are then used to boost abilities while playing …

Recommended only if you like a challenge in your M3 games. I originally bought The Forgotten Land elsewhere before hearing that the Steam version was updated to be playable. The first version, as described by other reviewers earlier, starts out fun albeit challenging, but the battle levels rapidly became infuriatingly difficult to the point of being impossible to even get through, much less earn all the rune stones. …

neutral · AI labelView post →Kirby and the Forgotten Land released 3 years ago! I really hope Hal Labs is working on a sequel or at the very least another 3D Kirby for Switch 2. They proved to me with this game they are capable of making games that would make the 3D Mario team proud.
positive · AI labelView post →Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition was rated by the ESRB today. It's seriously one of the best 3D Platformers you can play. It deserves to be the best selling Kirby game of all time.
positive · AI labelView post →Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition releases in one month. In terms of design, it's closer to Astro Bot than Donkey Kong Bananza. In Hal Lab's 40 year history, I think this is the best game they've ever made. I don't say that lightly, but I believe it!

positive · AI labelView post →disclaimer: I was a beta tester for the game towards the end of development, but that didn't influence my opinion and this review covers the full release. july 2020 edit: some changes finally happened: blind works differently, more anvils, better character stats. the forgotten land uses rokaplay's match-3 formula seen before in their holiday resort games. annoying panic management levels got replaced with much better (but still often frustrating) turn-based combat and the setting is more…

Prepare yourself.
positive · AI labelView post →Random Game of the Day Day 602 - Kirby and the Forgotten Land The little dude's first fully 3D game, and what a game indeed! From the awesome level designs, to Kirby's new overstuffed ability, to the additional minigames you can play back at home base. It's all 100% perfect imo. On top of all
positive · AI labelView post →Okay so we got new Kirby game right? Well yesterday I uploaded a song that was inspired by Kirby and the Forgotten Land so I caused this! youtu.be/XJ7Asr93Nlw?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, this game turns a quite fun match 3 concept into a tedious grindfest for no reason. It's also 'funny' how the start of the game has quite a bit of story and then it just stops. The elements added (skills that you can improve, individual characters that you can use in certain levels to your advantage) make for a really interesting game, but adding levels that require you to make 16 (or more) specific matches in sequence just kill any fun playing this game.
