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 transitions the series' delightful mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional space. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically rich as Planet Popstar, it remains visually stunning and vibrant, with levels designed to smartly utilize Kirby's diverse abilities. Despite the shift to 3D, Forgotten Land preserves the essence of what makes classic Kirby games so beloved – and if the future holds more 3D adventures for our beloved pink hero, I'm all in."

This Nintendo Switch 2 version includes the full original game with enhanced graphics and the Star-Crossed World expansion, which adds a fresh adventure. According to Nintendo, "Kirby must harness his incredible abilities, including innovative new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through uncharted territories following a catastrophic meteor strike."
