Kirby: Planet Robobot was a pleasant surprise; especially to someone like me who can generally look at a Kirby game and take it or leave it. It's one thing to please fans, but to win over indifference is kind of a big deal to me.

Planet Robobot does nothing to advance the state of the video game art, or even to reinvent the Kirby series. And that's fine. Sometimes you just need a straightforward, energetic, and above all fun game, and it's here where HAL delivers.

A fantastic entry in one of Nintendo's most beloved series. If you own a 3DS and have a soft spot for little pink puffballs then don't miss out on this mechanical adventure with Kirby in his shiny new suit!

A great addition to the franchise, adding a mechanic that doesn't feel forced. Looking under the hood, the game uses a lot of the same tricks that Kirby Triple Deluxe did and will probably captivate your time about as well. It's certainly one that younger audiences will get a kick out of, but it's no Kirby's Fun Pak.

Kirby Planet Robobot continues the excellence and consistent fun and variety of the Kirby series from the past few years. It tightens up established mechanics and adds some great new ideas, which all comes together into one of the most enjoyable and genuinely friendly games I’ve played all year.
