What Do Fans Think About 'Kirby Air Riders'
According to some gamers on Reddit, "Kirby Air Riders" is an underrated game that deserves more attention, like other titles.
One Reddit user said that they played almost 80 hours since the release of the latest Kirby game. Another praised playing the top ride online even when they were on a road trip with friends.
Here's what other gamers said about the game:
"It's literally at number 5 on best selling switch 2 games on the eShop. I don't think it was "assassinated."
"I actually think the trial did the game a disservice in a weird way. I almost didn't buy it after the trial, because I couldn't see it having any sort of legs beyond occasional party play, but I decided to get it anyway, and the full game is so much better."
"I may be in the minority, but I finished it (beat story mode twice and did a ton of multiplayer) and I did not enjoy it. I beat it because I bought it, and I felt bad that I spent 60 on a bad racing game. Then I got addicted to completing the bullshit smash wall for unlockables. By the time I unlocked shadow Deedeedee, I felt only shame."
