It’s not the most difficult of games, as Kirby titles generally aren’t, but it is enormous fun, and up there as one of my all-time favourite 3DS titles.

I had a blast with this game, and it might challenge for my favourite in the series. It’s crazy, it’s fun, it’s satisfying, and it’s badass. I am shocked at how much fun I had with Kirby: Planet Robobot.

The Robobot Armor is one of the greatest gimmicks ever. Not to mention the story which works both without additional context and with context. The mechanized Popstar and old enemies also look spectacular. The music is also a treat and kicks into high gear for the final boss battle.

Kirby: Planet Robobot is one the greatest 2D platformers of the last few years. The way the it builds the gameplay over a great level design, makes it a game that everyone should experience. If you didn't like Triple Deluxe, this is the Kirby game that you were looking for.

In all, there’s a surprising amount of content, but it’s only the story mode that’s worth playing.

Planet Robobot's meager difficulty may feel like a turn off at times, but it's not a reason to write it off. Once you spend time sampling the large selection of powers in each stage, taking in the detailed visuals, the catchy soundtrack, and exploring the wealth of extra modes on hand, you are so focused on the game's pervasive charm that you're looking forward to the next delightful surprise, rather than praying for a grueling test of skill. Planet Robobot is another great feather in Kirby's cap that shouldn't be overlooked.

One of the better Kirby games, but it's just too similar to Triple Deluxe to stand out. [Aug 2016, p.72]

Planet Robobot is decently made but leans way too much on it’s predecessor Triple Deluxe (and every other Kirby platformer) to keep us interested. Time for something new. [July 2016 / page 070]

what a great game.Kirby: Planet Robobot is the best kirby game imo. It has so many good things such as new abilities, solid boss fights, lots of side modes like the prequel to Super Kirby Clash and so much more. The level design is awesome, the robobot armor opens up to lots of new experiences in levels and boss fights. The music is so f*cking good and the remixes of noble haltmann are fantastic. this game almost has no bad things, it's got all the good features of a 10/10 platform game. I really hope to see this game get a remaster/remake on switch/switch 2 with new content (like a side mode centered on susie), better graphics that make the game look like dream land was in Cyberpunk 2077 and multiplayer support also in the main mode.

Arguibly one of the more unique looking Kirby games. Even tho the gameplay doesn't feel that much different from other games besides of the robot armor and other stuff, I would say this one is better than the previous Kirby games of a similar style.

While the game design, polish and fun are really good on this game. It feels like youre playing a high end MOD from Triple Deluxe at all times. I wish there were some changes more than the robot theme.

This is a solid Nintendo platformer. The gameplay is smooth and the visuals are great. I love the new robo mech-like mechanic. Its fun to see what power-ups do to kirby and then how they affect robo-kirby differently. However, my only relatively big complaint with this game is that at no point did I really feel challenged. I don't think I ever died unless I accidentally fell down a pit or something. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a good fun platformer, however, don't expect too much of a challenge.

This is one of the best kirby games I've played. The level design is great and the robot armor makes the game a lot of fun. This is a very solid platform that anyone can enjoy
