Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe Reviews
Additions like Magalor Epilogue, Mecha, and the cel-shaded visual overhaul make Return to Dream Land Deluxe the best way to play one of Kirby’s most important 2D adventures. It may be a bit simplistic compared to more experimental games in the series and its main gimmick isn’t much to write home about, but the impact it had on one of the main tenets of Kirby, Copy Abilities, is undeniable.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a quintessential package for newcomers to the franchise. A fantastically realized set of Copy Abilities, swathes of worthwhile content, a great new epilogue, and gorgeously enhanced new visuals make for a timeless experience that's only hindered by a noticeable lack of difficulty.
As a follow-up to the highly successful Forgotten Land, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe may tread on old ground, but it does so with confidence and colour aplenty.
The remake, called Deluxe, is quite versatile. Nintendo has not improved just the story, but they've also added mini-games and cosmetic goodies. Add to that the polished graphics and we are in for some very enjoyable hours.

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.
This colourful multiplayer platformer was largely ignored when it first came out in 2011 – is it worth a second look?
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.

Return to Dream Land‘s lack of difficulty does dampen some of its more creative ideas, but it remains a colourful, sleek adventure – and one that’s been perfectly adapted, remastered, and expanded for Deluxe. Kirby, as always, deserves more time in the sun – and this collection is a wonderful ode to my favourite pink blob.
While grown-up gaming is dominated by dark and brooding fantasies, Kirby makes the case for sweetness and light among families
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe showcases the best of Kirby's unique brand of 2D platforming. Unfortunately, veteran players will have to slog through the main campaign one more time to see everything on offer.
Kirby's Return To Dreamland Deluxe is a good Kirby game but not great. It's tuned to perfection to deliver the traditional, laid-back action-platform gameplay of the series, while also being a decent party game. The new content brings even more variety to the "package" and certainly adds points to it. It may not thrill any player and may lack that creative "spark" a bit, but it does the job flawlessly. It's a well-crafted and entertaining experience for all ages.

Although there are some nitpicks, such as its price tag, easy boss fights, and possibly insufficient new features, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is still fun. It may not do anything groundbreaking, but it does a great job of breathing new life into a platformer largely forgotten since its Wii release. What we get from HAL Labs goes beyond a mere port with a new story, engaging challenges, and a slick presentation.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is an enjoyable, easy going platformer that does bring the benefit of four player coop action.
Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe is top-shelf 2D Kirby platforming. It’s visually as good as non-stylized Kirby gets, rife with every copy ability you can dream of, and as nice and fulfilling a platformer as any Nintendo game should ever be expected to be.
Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe is another feel-good hit that has a lot of variety in a very lean package. It looks and sounds excellent, and offers many amusing side modes to partake in with young gamers who are learning how to play. You may not get all the bang for your buck, but if you are still hungry for some more breezy action after The Forgotten Land, then this will give you what you need.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a great port of a great Kirby game. Keeping the magic of the original alive with a fresh coat of paint and meaningful new content, it's a game I can recommend to any lover of Kirby, platforming, or a good couch co-op experience.
'Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe' is the remake of a former Wii game. The game has had the necessary minor upgrades and also comes with some extra content. It is a not too difficult game that will entertain young and old. It is not much different than usual, but it is certainly still fun.
