Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe Review

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe reviewed on Nintendo Switch by Colin Stevens.
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe takes a fun but straightforward Wii platformer, freshens it up visually, and adds a new mini adventure to pad out its otherwise relatively short campaign. Kirby’s journey across Planet Popstar starts as a slow, overly easy drudge. But once the difficulty picks up and the stages become more creative, this platformer shines through to its over-the-top conclusion – even if that conclusion comes far too soon. The Magolor Epilogue is also a welcome addition that stands on its own as another brief but worthwhile story. Return to Dream Land certainly isn’t Kirby’s best or most creative outing, but if you haven’t already played it on Wii, the Deluxe version is the ideal way to see what a traditional Kirby game is all about.

Gotta love it when the commercial before a game review, is the game being reviewed.

6:00 This is just completely wrong, the original game had 2 minigames, NOW there are 10, some of them returning from other games in the series, this is a big mistake

*Days without IGN reviews dishing out a 7: 0*

How is it possible for this to score lower than the original? It’s literally the original game with more content and a fresh coat of paint.

"Nothing in a Kirby story is particularly groundbreaking".
This guy has never read Kirby lore.

5:18 "nothing in a kirby story is that groundbreaking"

Didn't play this the first time around, so I'm excited to snag this. MEN WANT MORE KIRBY TOO.

"He can become a downright powerhouse!"
Shows the most lame footage possible

[BiyikFrostDiaz]

That is the traditional kirby experience
Easy first half then an exhilarating end game
Docking points for Kirby being easy seems like a nit pick

[Adamchevy]

My current favorite switch game. It’s like the pie and ice cream of platformers.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe is everything fans wanted
IGN: 7
And IGN wonders why nobody takes them seriously

Does this man not realize how many people love Kirby cause of how much lore is packed within said stories of the game?

IGN Try Not to Give Every Game a 7 Challenge **IMPOSSIBLE**

[Gwilherm]

As someone who skipped most of the things nintendo related from 2006 to 2012, I'm excited to try it!!

[Elibbb-sxkg]

If ign give it 7 score, you know that this is the game of the year

[supergirlkels]

"Lets be honest Kirby has never had anything groundbreaking"

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[uroskesic]

Ign is the worst this game deserves at least an 8 or a 9

[super_dude]

average IGN review
still complaining about difficulty, "king daydayday", and it gets a lower score than the original?
cant say im surprised

[Deets]

Im convinced that gaming journalists have absolutely no fun playing games

[I_Do_It_For_The_Trolling]

Finally the ability to play a full game as magalor instead of those short adventures in star allies
