Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
We didn't quite remember how difficult Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was, or perhaps we're a bit embarrassed to admit it took us a few hours this time to master a game we'd beaten already four years ago.
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
