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.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a joy to play, particularly in co-op, as two players can spot more secrets than one. However: co-op is also the game's greatest weakness as everything revolves around player one: it's a dated approach to co-op compared to newer games that treat all players as equal participants. Thankfully, improved graphics and great additional content make this new version of Return to Dream Land truly "Deluxe".

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.

I haven't played Kirby's Forgotten Land yet, the first 3D adventure of this adorable character, just as I haven't played this adventure in the original Wii format. But aiming here for a return to the origins, this Deluxe version offers more content and a more contrasting and colorful definition of the characters and worlds presented. Copy skills are once again the highlight of this adventure, as they have many effects and possibilities of blows, combined with an immense extension in levels and mini-games, many of these contemplated in Megoland but also in magolor's ship. If Forgotten Land offered us open spaces and worlds in 3D, here the return to the origins returns us to the brightness and depth of the 2.5D of the levels presented in multiple segments.

The multiplayer element adds replayability, as does the mini-games section, and there are enough collectibles and hidden sections to want you coming back for more.

The remake Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe shines as an easy accessible couch co-op multiplayer title. As a singleplayer game it sadly lacks challenging parts and gameplay diversity. The technical improvements to the Wii title and the new epilogue are nice to have but don't justify the price tag of 59.99€ at release. Kirby Fans who already own the original game should think twice beforce buying.

Kirby’s Return to Deeam Land Deluxe is more than a remaster as it offers not only updated visuals, but also a complimentary bonus adventure rhats very different and plain fun. The game is still a bit too easy to my taste, but there’s plenty of additional challenges to please new or veteran players.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe remains a fine jump-and-run game that makes mostly anything right concerning new HD graphics and new skills. It is fun to play, as long as you don't expect something very challenging. Also the scope of the game is fine, but especially fans of the Wii original should know that they should not expect too much from the completely new epilogue mode.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe further embraces the idea of embracing an introductory multiplayer experience with friends, especially given the existence of Magolor Helper and Merry Magoland.
