Critic Reviews for Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a refreshed version of a fun but frustratingly uneven Kirby platformer that takes a little too long to reach its potential.

An underserved remaster to an unremarkable 2D platformer, that was the primary reason why the soft reboot of Kirby And The Forgotten was necessary in the first place.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is still an enhanced remaster of a 12-year-old Wii game, but it effectively brings forward one of the pink puffball's best outings, complete with meaningful additions. The result is a game worthy of sitting in the Switch catalog next to last year's superb Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe brings a cheerfully gentle Wii-era platformer to Nintendo Switch with smart additions and a big new epilogue.

A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is the best return of one of the best games in the saga we could hope for. This platform game is perfect to play with family or friends, and has enough content to entertain for hours on end between its main adventure, the mingames and the coliseum mode. It also has a totally new chapter that you can not miss and that will make you go through up to 20 new levels while controlling Maglor, a new character with his own unique set of moves.

A fantastic platform game with Nintendo's seal of quality that is now even more complete and entertaining thanks to the incorporation of minigames and epilogue. Its launch price is a drawback, so you may prefer to wait a while before "swallowing it".

Overall, Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe is a very nice remaster of a solid Wii game that had a great deal of affection from longtime players of the series back in the day. This remaster also runs very well on the Switch and is definitely worth picking up if you are a Kirby fan. However, if you are new to Kirby and want to experience the best of its 2D offerings, then I would have to recommend Planet Robobot instead.
