Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was one of my absolute favorites on Wii U, and that is the same on Nintendo Switch.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was and still is a fantastic 2D platformer.

If you managed to miss out on the original release on Wii U or felt that the legendary difficulty might have been a bit much, you should absolutely try out this new version on Switch.

It may only be a remaster, rather than a brand new game, but when it’s as good as this, it’s very hard to be disappointed.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is delightful and easy to recommend.
2550d ago
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a fantastic platformer for new players on the Switch but doesn't offer much for returning fans.
2550d ago
If you never played this game before and never owned a Wii U then it's a great game to play and you'll adore the challenge, but if you've played it all before, like me? Fun to revisit, but hardly essential.
2550d ago
Tropical Freeze won't stand with the all-time great DKC games, but it's a perfectly fun romp through Donkey Kong's island in its own right.
2550d ago
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.
2550d ago
It’s simply an average 2D platformer that doesn’t deliver the level of fun or excitement you’d expect from a Nintendo-exclusive title – particularly one featuring some of the company’s most iconic mascots.
