Kirby and the Forgotten Land launches on March 25 and marks the iconic pink Nintendo character’s first ever own main game. The 3D platformer promises exciting adventure as players run, jump, and battle their way through various levels.
It’s a Nintendo game though, which means it’s notoriously exclusive, only releasing on the Nintendo Switch.

Well, fear no more, we’ve put together a list of five games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land on PC that you can play right now.
We’ll be focusing on the top adventure platformers with some great leading characters that draw similarities to Kirby and allow players to navigate through different scapes. There’s nobody… or nothing quite like Kirby, but we’ve got some great alternatives on our list below.
