Show product page
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a perfect fit for the Switch, delivering impeccable platforming goodness with Donkey Kong and his family. It's beautiful both from a visual and auditory standpoint and each level you play has its own identity or unique flavour.
- Excellent platforming mechanics
- Level design is impeccable
- New Switch features take the edge off the huge difficulty curve
- Funky Kong is radical
- Incredibly good soundtrack
- Beautiful artistic direction and design
- A ton of secrets and completionist centric stuff to do
- Controls sometimes feel unresponsive or clunky
- Steep difficulty curve that can cause some frustration
- Very tight timing windows on some platforming sections
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review - One of the best platformers on Switch
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a brilliantly inventive 2D platformer that deserves to be considered alongside Nintendo's best
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Switch review – any port in a storm
A highly competent 2D platformer, but one so utterly devoid of any new ideas it's really only for the nostalgic and those desperate to play something new(-ish) on the Switch.- Extremely well-designed levels and some masterfully orchestrated mine cart stages
- Good use of a 3D camera to enhance 2D gameplay
- Great music
- Painfully predictable from the very first moment
- Visually unremarkable and with some very dull secrets and special abilities
- Unfairly expensive
Best 2D platformer ever
Best 2D platformer ever. Best DKC game ever! what more do you need! you owe it to yourself to play this game!
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Switch: "Donkey Kong has never looked so good"
If you crave a challenge, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze will bring out the best of your platforming abilities. Those expecting a cakewalk will feel like they slammed headfirst into a brick wall of difficulty.- Great presentation
- with lush graphics and charming music
- Incredibly challenging
- but never feels unbeatable
- New Kongs encourage different playstyles
- Will simply be too difficult for some tastes
- Co-op play is a disappointment
Masterpiece
Everything about this game is perfect. The fact that its hard and i wont beat it in a day or 2 while working two jobs like i did mf mario oddesy makes its better.
Fantastic!! Very challenging so suitable for older gamers ...
Fantastic!! Very challenging so suitable for older gamers too (I'm 21). Lots of collectables and secrets so plenty to keep you busy. Beautiful graphics and music. Feels very well made. Haven't played a DK game before but enjoying it very much.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is even better now that its on the Nintendo Switch! Check out Kidzworlds review of the new game!
- Varied Levels
- Tight Platforming
- Not Nintendo's Best Art Style
- Full Price Port

Game Review: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is the latest Wii U port to hit the Nintendo Switch and if you missed its initial release in 2014 and are planning on picking it up, then you're in for a treat…perhaps banana themed treats!- Satisfying

- Crisp
- colourful visuals
- Meaningful supporting characters
- Funky Kong Mode is a speed running dream
