    From beginning to end, a stellar 2.5D platformer.

    You know, "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze" was another game I didn't give enough love to when it was first released on the Wii U. I definitely bought and enjoyed it, but I didn't get to far in it, and a bunch of ot... Read Full Review

    Beautiful crisp graphics yet limited challenge and lacking tight play control

    It's Donkey Kong Country - the same gameplay mechanics are there which isn't necessarily a good thing. While Donkey Kong Country looks gorgeous and the levels are intricately designed the play control is anything but t... Read Full Review

    Maybe the best switch game yet

    Donkey Kong tropical freeze was a blast. It was brutally difficult at times, took advantage of great cooperative play, and had a intense mode after you beat the game that was extremely hard but fun to try to beat. If you... Read Full Review

    Sparkling with life, ruined by the controls.

    By now it shouldn't come as a surprise to no one but these new games don't really do the original Donkey Kong Country franchise its justice. The base games were the most spectacular experiences anyone could have in gami... Read Full Review
