That's the point of the game, very beatable n enjoyable by anyone of any skill level, from 3 year olds to soccer moms to grandpas. If you want a challenging platformer there are plenty of games with that intent out there, but Kirby is ment to be very easy. Star Allies score should only be docked for difficulty if they made it challenging while still claiming it's a standard Kirby game. Anything else and you're just knocking the game for it's genre.

See, that's where I take issue. How can it be enjoyable by anyone of any skill level when some people have a lot of skills and thus, breeze through it in a few hours? These things are sixty dollars. If all I'm going to get is a relaxing, three hour experience where I die like three times, then I'm going to spend my money elsewhere and I'm NOT going to have an enjoyable experience. 

I love the aesthetic of Kirby games. It's very charming and whimsical but much like Odyssey, it's too easy for me. Nintendo has been gradually making most of their games (if not all) just too easy for people like me and I really wish reviewers would dock points for it so people would know before buying. 

Then I guess games like Kirby's Epic Yarn should have been given a 70 instead of an 89 overall :P

It all depends on the reviewer's perspective. Do they mind relatively easy games? Do they dock games that are too hard like Dark Souls?

I mean, Pokemon ORAS was once docked by IGN with one of the reasons being "Too much water" when it was nature of its original game, Ruby and Sapphire.

It's all on the perspective of the reviewer. Not every reviewer thinks the same way as you may view a game.
