Exactly our experience. Kirby really sucks and blows in this most recent outing.
I completely disagree, my son and I played all the way through and loved it. It was a nice direction to take the series and there are a lot of stages, secrets, and item upgrades. Plus the soundtrack is killer. Just my opinion
Crazy, I had the exact opposite experience with my 6 year old. We absolutely adore this game.

Don't sweat it kid. Any forum is about 50% enjoy the drama, 25% trying to be helpful, 25% trolling to watch folks squirm
The tenor changes dramatically based on the theme of each world. I especially like the music for the abandoned mall; it really does feel like a throwback as if I were watching an extended JC Penny or Sear's documentary >D The amusement park music feels both depressing and fun at the same time. Im sure a music theory buff would have a field day tearing the OST apart, esp the last song "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit".
As for the game, like past kirby (and yoshi) games, it is on the easier side; but I dont see that as off-putting. This is peak Nintendo. Still plenty of hours to gather all of the content...all of the capsule trophies, 3-star-ing all of the crystal shard levels, and trying to get the best time in the coliseum. This is Kirby's first 3D foray, and the on-rails nature of each level does feel a bit elementary, but this is one of those times that I am a fan of incrementalism...and what a HUGE incremental jump that this was!
Minigames made me tear my hair out, such as the Labyrinth clone.
Game is not perfect. I wish the worlds let you walk backwards. This isnt SMB1. Its not clear what upper platforms are background vs ones you can actually jump on, often leading to missed Waddledees often on first run. Co-op is an afterthought...Bandana Waddledee only gets buffs...no new weapons, and its too easy for him to get stuck (id rather they zoom out a-la Smash Bros Style)
Solid 8.5 IMO
How old was the kid you played it with? I can't imagine a 6-8 year old not loving the heck out of this game unless they typically play Fortnite all day.
