| Green098 said: I don't have a problem with the score it got but anything above 70 is still "good". Maybe if it where the big multi-million dollar budget 3D Mario/Zelda game of the generation, a 73 would be a bomb, but that's not what this is lol. It's your run of the mill 2D Kirby game and it certainly won't be the last one you'll see on Switch either. I wouldn't be surprised if a new Kirby game comes out for Switch as soon as next year or early 2020. |
That's not what Kirby is though; no one is expecting a big budget 3D Mario/Zelda 9.5 to 9.7 game.
But it is Kirby, arguably the best co-op 2D platformer franchise of all time. It's one of the few 2D platformer (if not the only) franchises that has managed, over the years, to be a good experience for all the players involved while others - like DKC, Sonic, and NSMB Wii - tend to only be fun for one player involved at a time. A 73% game is not up to the standard of what fans of this franchise were expecting. It still matters to us that the first return to home consoles of a mainline Kirby game in 6 years is decent; 85% minimum, while a game worthy of an 88-90% score would have been preferable, and a 90+ would have been awesome.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
