Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Kirby FUCKS

While I still wish this was open world, the inventiveness of the levels (and how they do branch off slightly and invite exploration within them) is really intriguing. This game just oozes charm. The progression system was a nice little bonus, being able to update your abilities is cool. And of course, seeing some of the silly things you can suck up is always fun. It's near impossible to really die here most of the time but that's okay, I like the casualness in this context.
