Kirby and the Forgotten Land was the first game I played for review after sinking dozens of hours into Elden Ring. That's a bit like jumping from an ice bath straight into a pool heated precisely to your body temperature.

In a sense, it's the anti-Elden Ring, a perfect palate cleanser for those who have overdosed on video game punishment lately.
