I have to say as much as I love Kirby games, it often feels like they are not nearly long enough for me and while I thoroughly enjoy all the gameplay I have in each other games I’ve played, minus Tilt ‘n’ Tumble, I never quite want it to end.
I’m sure that many players are like me and don’t necessarily vibe with the mini-games that are available in Kirby games and while I’m grateful for the addition of mini-games to extend the lifespan of the games, the reality is, I often with there were more worlds or stages to get through instead.
Now, being that it is actually a Kirby troupe to have between 4-6 stages in a World and around 5-6 worlds, I was expecting the very same for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I have to say, as disappointed as I am, this is still very true of the game.
The thing is, this time it feels a bit different as Kirby and the Forgotten Land doesn’t feel as repetitive as previous games in the franchise, allowing players to take on upgraded abilities to our classics, adding new abilities to the roster and even adding a new Mouthful Mode that allows players to take on special skills from much larger objects, which we have never seen before.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land also doesn’t end when the main story ends, taking a bit of a note from Pokémon Legends: Arceus and even though I have finished the main story of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, I can tell you right now that I’m going to be playing this game for months to come because there’s a lot more players can do and this time… I’m actually interested!
The following post is going to contain spoilers, though I will make sure that the spoilers are far enough below that you will be able to avoid them if you need/want to, it will also cover all the worlds that are available to players and what they offer even if they are not “worlds” in the classic sense!
HOW LONG IS KIRBY AND THE FORGOTTEN LAND?
At this time the average playtime of Kirby and the Forgotten Land has been reported to be between 10-20 hours for the main game. These reports depend on whether players have spent time doing side objectives or have completed all of the Missions as well as whether the player is playing on the Wild Mode or Spring-Easy Mode.
Though the main game takes between 10-20 hours, the reality is that Kirby and the Forgotten Land really has a lot more than the main story to go through and the side content is equally as fun as the main game, though of course this is going to depend on what the player enjoys and what content the player wants to partake in.
HOW MANY WORLDS ARE IN KIRBY AND THE FORGOTTEN LAND?
There are 6 main worlds in Kirby and the Forgotten Land that the player must complete in order to finish the main story. Players will also have access to a “home base” world called Waddle Dee Town which contains a good amount of mini-games and challenges.
As mentioned there is also content that players can partake in in the post game, though I will not go in-depth with this content under this header so you can avoid spoilers. The post game information will be in the next header, so if you’d like to avoid it, make sure you do not scroll beyond World 6.
