Wildly fun
Variety of modes
Simple but addictive
The voices in Spanish do not convey enough emotion.

Numerama

Review Kirby Air Riders by Numerama
the complete realization of an original and unparalleled formula
Very technically and artistically mastered, with great attention to detail.
An insane generosity that ridicules Mario Kart World
Can quickly become difficult, even off-putting for many players.
Potentially too focused on multiplayer (online or offline)
You may need to buy a new left Joy-Con.

Wide distribution of characters, vehicles, and different modes.
A quantity of very well-crafted content of all types.
It's addictive on its own, fresh and original.
The dubbing in Spanish is something that can be improved.
Great absences like Elfilin or Adeleine.
It can be chaotic at times.

GameOver

Review Kirby Air Riders by GameOver
Excellent technical field.
The gameplay is smooth and accessible, without removing the element of challenge.
A satisfying variety of levels, vehicles, and characters.
An excellent multiplayer mode, both in cooperation and online.
Many modes available, catering to all expectations and tastes.
Interesting mini-games in City Trial.
The addition of the Road Trip as a point brings a breath of fresh air to the game.
The completion of specific challenges that reward the player with valuable unlockable items...
...but also unlockings that are practically useless.
The progress of the Road Trip is not transferred to other modes.
The To Top Ride driving mode will not work properly for everyone.

Very beautiful
Excellent staging and feeling of speed
The quintessence of "easy to learn, difficult to master"
Wide variety of vehicles
Balancing on a tightrope for races that often end in a photo finish
Many accessibility options
A soundtrack that is both very memorable and very energetic.
Online game without any glitches
Addictive solo mode that one enjoys revisiting over and over again.
City Trial, a stroke of genius and a mode as chaotic as it is fun.
Mixture of several genres, without compromising on quality.
Unprecedented proposition in the current video game landscape
Photo mode that could have been more worked on
Implementation of HDR quite botched
The spinning top that is triggered by the stick rather than a button

Deceivingly simple mechanics with a profound level depth
Road Trip shows just how versatile Kirby Air Riders is
Excellent suite of modes that are bolstered by a robust checklist of challenges
Comprehensive multiplayer along with the Paddock makes multiplayer feel rich
Limiting everything to two button inputs feels needlessly restrictive
Some minor annoyances in Road Trip that lead to some unfair encounters

Original, intense, profound, chaotic, and immediately entertaining.
Exuberant in modes, options, settings, and unlocks.
Frantic on the audiovisual level.
Some online options are missing: tournaments, qualifying matches with friends...
Performance is affected when playing local multiplayer in Urban Trials.
That there is only one scene in urban trials.

The extreme variety of challenges
The Urban Challenges mode promises to shine during gatherings with friends.
A depth of gameplay more accessible than it seems
The originality with which he plays with the format of video game racing.
The control system leaves something to be desired at certain specific moments.
There is a lack of more variety of traditional circuits.

A gameplay that is ultra accessible but deeper than it seems.
A masterful City Trial mode, still as addictive as ever.
A colorful and faithful artistic direction to the spirit of Kirby
Exemplary fluidity for a title as nervous as this.
A solo finally present with a well-crafted Road Trip mode
Robust content (circuit, riders, cars...)
Gameplay that may be too simple and/or too chaotic for some.
Some redundant modes over time
Graphically decent for the Switch 2

Air Ride mode: races are spectacular.
A solid and well-thought-out online system down to the smallest details.
Overflowing with content. The variety of sources and rewards is at a high level.
The difference between pilots and ships. Mastering them is a process that requires technique.
The sound level is very high.
The Escapade mode lacks a bit of ambition to break away from the feeling of being a disguised tutorial.
Urban trials deserved a more significant turn towards improving competitiveness.

Artistically at very high levels...
Excellent opportunity to play City Trial online...
Very meticulous tutorial?
Grandiose soundtrack, excellent Italian dubbing
Overall simple but brilliant game formula
Road Trip is an excellent compromise for the solo player.
... but the action is not easy to follow for everyone.
Although matchmaking sometimes sleeps on its feet
To overcome difficult-to-deepen controls.

Pizza Fria

Review Kirby Air Riders by Pizza Fria
Minimalist control of a button that hides a surprising technical depth.
The Urban Trial mode remains one of the most original and chaotic multiplayer modes ever created.
Content mountain: 750 achievements with significant unlocks and monstrous replayability.
Impeccable location for Brazilian Portuguese, with native narration and complete texts.
Solid performance at 60 FPS and an interesting customization system.
Steep learning curve and slippery controls that can discourage casual players.
Foot on the Road mode (countryside) and 1v1 battles highlight the imprecision of the controls.
High price in Brazil (R$ 439.90) for a very specific and niche game proposal.

Visually very attractive

Very well explained tutorials
Online mode for the three proposed variants
Many objectives to achieve
Accessibility options that put MK World in trouble
Well-thought-out ergonomic menus
High quality OST with the possibility to customize your playlist.
Dubbing in all languages, twice!
Too many visual details harm readability.
Finally, there are few circuits for traditional races.
Frustrating Top Ride mode controls
Gameplay that will not appeal to everyone
A rather anecdotal Road Trip mode in the end

Beautiful presentation with impressive visual effects and a high and stable frame rate.
A very diverse gameplay with different races, destruction arenas, mini-game challenges, and more in four game modes.
Almost everything is playable online as well as against AI.
Strongly resembles its predecessor GameCube, which should please fans.
Principle of weak and unintuitive control
Success depends far too much on chance.

Successful sensation of speed and nervous rhythm
Variety of vehicles and characters, good replayability
+ Many modes and interesting ideas
+ Immediate fun thanks to short and dynamic races
Automatic acceleration too restrictive
Boost that also serves as a brake, often frustrating
City Trial is pretty but very empty and underutilized.
Significant imbalances between vehicles, difficult for new players.
No structured progression like cups or championships
Many activities but few real motivations to come back.
