    Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze makes other Switch 2D platformers like New Super Mario Bros U look cheap and forgettable. A must have for any fan of this genre.    … Expand

    I love and hate this game at the same time. This game has beautiful visual, creative platform design and good animation; however, the game difficulty is not fair, it seems that there's alway one solution to solve the platform challenge, like you could only touch the rope by only jumping the highest point, sometimes you need to roll the furthest to far jump in order to reach ceetain movingI love and hate this game at the same time.

Not a fan of this dumb "every action is mapped to two buttons" scheme either, I'm not f**king 4 years old. There are just four actions in this game but one of them has to be mapped to a shoulder button and two of them take up the same button?? Absolute nonsense.

    And this isn't just about difficulty or "gitting gud", either, as I have no problem with difficult platformers in general, but if a game demands pinpoint accuracy and fast reactions from me, then the controls should be up to the challenge as well (Celeste is a great example of this), which they're simply not here IMO. Boss battles also drag on for waaaaaaay too long, even if you do everything right.    … Expand

    It's a Donkey Kong game but control and feel nothing like the Donkey Kong Country games for the Super Nintendo. This feels closer to The Donkey Kong Bongo Games from the GameCube and I think it's really over hyped. I didn't like it and I usually love all Nintendo games. It's not bad but the controls I don't like, it's not a Country game, and doesn't hold a candle stick to the SNES originals

Outside of individual levels, it never gets boring, introducing new concepts, keeping the game fresh till the very last level. Every stage has been crafted with love, and I find myself just stopping at so many points and admiring the artwork. The game has that about it you see, the thrill of speeding through a level but also instills a guilt when you don't appreciate every detail. You really have to step back and appreciate these diamonds. A perfect game.… Expand

Level design is immaculate in this game and enemies are perfectly placed where you can get an amazing flow when going through levels. Because of that, replaying the game will only show off more of the strengths than before. This game is also a great speedrunning game so if you are into that community, it's one of the best out there. The music by David Wise is so good that I would say it's worth the $60 price tag (Hey, you also get a whole bonus game attached with the soundtrack).

Graphics are very good and although music is ok it sadly also has this generic touch in most of the themes...The second thing I noticed is the sheer difficulty of the game. Although it was cool at times to finish a difficult level I quickly found out that the fun factor had been lost during the process of memorizing the patterns and playing the same sections of a level over and over.....Don't get me wrong this is a good game but some sections are so insidiously designed and the game is so unforgiving that in the end once you finish the level all you want to do is stop playing because you are already fatigued and annoyed from trying. Donkey feels heavy to control, is not so responsive and his companions play unfortunately a rather passive role adding only 2 extra lives and a special ability in complete contrast to the old DKC games where every companion played a very active and important role to the experience. Overall an ok game if you like trial and error but nothing special....… Expand

    The attention to detail in each level is spectacular. This game is hard and I'm glad they introduced a new Funky mode for people who want to take it easy playing this game. The colour palette was great and went well with the level design. The variation in the level design from tropical forests to oceans to African Savannah was very creative.

    One of the best 2D platformers in the history of video games, nothing more nothing less. Each level has a quality level-design and a unique theme, the gameplay is excellent, the music is excellent (thanks, Favid Wise), and the difficulty is present and well balanced. Even the water levels aren't annoying. Admittedly, some buddies are still missing, but the game stands on its own.

    The final boss in this game is not climatic at all. It kind of sucks, and there’s 6 worlds instead of 8, which makes it shorter than Country Returns.

The classic vehicle levels adds variety, but the highlights are the “relic” levels. These are unlockable, extended levels with numerous obstacles that will test your skills, patience, and reflexes to the limit. They must be finished in one go or you restart from the beginning, but are immensely satisfying once completed.

    This game was slightly too long and will often drive you crazy. But, it is rewarding, has a lot of charm, a nice soundtrack, and challenging platforming that shouldn’t be missed.    … Expand

The problem is, as much as I want to loveTropical Freeze is one of these games that has gained a cult following after it - supposedly - was panned by critics and is nowadays hailed as one of the best 2D platformers of all time. After all, this is a triple A game coming from a studio that consistently has developed great titles such as the masterpiece that is Metroid Prime and DKC Returns. The problem is, as much as I want to love this game... I just can't.

    One of the best aspects of Tropical Freeze is without a doubt the world building. Each level is a joy to behold. The game consists of seven worlds - six regular and one unlockable - and they all look gorgeous. Especially world three in the savannah and world five with a fruit factory as a theme are some of the best pieces of level design I have seen in the entire series. Each level is characterized by how interactive it is, the level is literally built up or destroyed before your very eyes. In the fruit factory slices of fruit come and go when you progress through the level. Backgrounds are really well animated and each level feels vivid and organic. From the burning savannah in Scorch 'n Torch to a chase scene with a giant octupus in Irate Eight, each level is a masterclass in level design.

    This is extended with a soundtrack composed by David Wise. Wise is a fan favorite who also composed the magnificent soundtracks of DKC 1 and 2. Wise outdid himself with a soundtrack that surpasses the soundtrack of DKC1 and stands on equal footing with the soundtrack of DKC 2. Just go to Youtube and listen to the ten best songs of Tropical Freeze. I will ensure you that you'll like the music. Wise mostly composed an original soundtrack that fits the game superbly. The savannah is upbeat, windmills have a more calm character and the factories feel like a frantic place. In some places you will find some remixes with Aquatic Ambiance as the highlight of the game. When it comes to presentation this game is top of its league.

    But then there's the gameplay and unfortunately it is here that the game falls short. The game is really hard, but that's not a bad sign. On the contrary, most gamers will appreciate a challenging 2D platformer. The thing is however that Tropical Freeze is challenging for all the wrong reasons and with counter-intuitive gameplay as the main culprit. You see, each 2D platformer has an 'ideal path' you want to follow. In the DKC series this has been marked by bananas since the mid ninetees. If you follow this path in a regular cadence it's only a matter of seconds before you will be punished. Platforms will appear or disappear all of a sudden, enemies throw random things at you, you're hindered by slow moving objects, etc.

    A good example is the end of Irate Eight. In this level you're chased by a giant octopus and in the end you need to evade falling rocks. The bananas mark the ideal path, but if you follow them you're sure to be hit by a falling rock. One can call this challenging, I call it counter-intuitive. Another example is Fruity Factory where at one point a number of platforms appear in a very frantic way and one can barely keep up with the pace. On one moment you need to go back to land on a platform while everything up until then has built up on the right part of the screen. Again, it's indeed challenging, but I don't see it as a good gameplay mechanic. Tropical Freeze is full of these moments.

    There were also plenty of occassions where I died more than twenty times, but it was my own fault. I wasn't skilled enough and Tropical Freeze didn't play with my mind. These are my most enjoyable moments with the game. My skills are put to the test here. Unfortunately this is in the minority of cases. Playing Tropical Freeze is a trial and error experience based on memorisation, rarely on skills alone. And this is my biggest gripe with the game.

    The most fun levels in the game are without a doubt the levels where these counter-intuitive mechanics are reduced to a minimum such as the mine cart levels. Progressing in these levels is more based on skills and therefore much more enjoyable. The pacing is also set on a fixed rhythm resulting in an uninterrupted and fluent flow.

    The pacing of Tropical Freeze is also highly irregular. Tropical Freeze is supposed to be a fast-paced game - otherwise there wouldn't be a time attack mode available - yet gameplay mechanics are designed in such a way that it's sometimes fast, sometimes painfully slow. There are plenty of moments in the game where you need to stop to pull something from the ground or your pace is blocked by a very slow moving object like the snowflakes in world six. Waiting is not always synonym for boring gameplay, but it just breaks the flow of a level. One can argue that you need to 'git gud' but that's something you can say about almost any game. Rayman Legends is also a difficult game, but never feels cheap and was always fun. Tropical Freeze only on some occassions.    … Expand

    Mediocre sequel

    I don't fully understand those reviews saying that this game is the 2D platform ever developed or a masterpiece. I have played DK1 & DK2 not so long ago and they are still great games. Not to mention other great SNES' 2D platformers like Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man X, or Super Castlevania IV. As pros, this game has impressive art and good animations.

Not to mention other great SNES' 2D platformers like Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man X, or Super Castlevania IV.

    As pros, this game has impressive art and good animations. Boss fights are it top notch. And, of course, in nice to play with Donkey Kong as our heart hero from the old days.

    However, it is clearly obvious that this game was developed by a team that didn't understand the essence of prior games of the series. Game mechanics are not well designed, sometimes it's difficult because it required skill development, just because it's has clumsy controls and you have to try and try to achieve advance. Game design experience doesn't really dare you to explore the world, this was one the most important thing of prior installments. Music is only a remix, no matter that Davis Wise is still in the project. Additionally, bonus games are repetitive and uninspiring. And finally, main characters as Diddy & Dixies were relegated as mere Donkey's accessories, not to mention that they completely erase secondary characters and only keep Rinho, with this the game lost a complete set of alternative game mechanics.

    It's not a terrible game, indeed it could be enjoyable. However, really far away to be a need to be played or a must-have.    … Expand

They give you balloons for "lives" but when they run out, the game just gives you more - or lets you skip levels - because they seem to unofficially recognize the games lack of cohesiveness in the gameplay. The other big gripe I would say, is the art direction is really uninspired compared to the original. The Kremlings are gone, and so is graphically any of the original artistic direction in the level styling. It's like Disney took over the franchise and ripped out the soul of the game. Not worth the 59.99 at all. Nintendo, this was a piss poor job for the greatness of the Donkey Kong franchise.

Dixie Kong lets you glide for a second if you hold the jump button. Dixie Kong lets you glide for a second than gives you a boost upwards. Cranky Kong has a cane which'll let you bounce on spikes if timed correctly. The level design in this game is absolutely top notch. Basically, a level takes multiple gimmicks and then slowly fuses them together to create something brilliant. What's truly impressive is how natural the level design truly feels. Everything feels like it fits in where it is. There's so much stuff going on in the background. This game is just amazing and definitely worth a go if you're a fan of 2D platformers.

During the first hour I was high on nostalgia. The memories of playing DKC2 and 3 as a kid came back to me and I liked the feeling. After that initial rush however, I started to notice some serious issues and as of right now, I am in world three and struggling to pick it back up and continue where I left off.

    Firstly, the controls feel so unresponsive. I never seem to time a jump right and DK moves so sluggish. It also doesn't help, that the y button has two actions attributed to it. A roll and slamming the floor. This often results in rolling of a platform when you just wanted to slam a box.

    Secondly, the level design is poor. It is just based on trial and error. When I was not dying rolling off platforms or untimely jumps, I died because said platforms suddenly collapsed right under me without any warning. The levels I played looked great, but they did not play great. In past games of the franchise, that was a totally different story.

    Overall, I am quite disappointed with the game. Great visuals and nostalgia are nice and all, but it goes to show that a tight control scheme is vital for a platforming game to succeed. Combine the unresponsive controls with bad level design and here's a game from a beloved franchise I don't know if I will want to finish.    … Expand

This creates a burst of speedDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is the fifth game in the Donkey Kong Country series, though it is more of a direct sequel to Donkey Kong Country Returns than it is to the first three games. As with the other games in the series, it is a 2D platformer whose central movement “gimmick” is the ability to roll along the ground or off ledges and do an air jump. This creates a burst of speed and momentum which can propel you along.

    The other central gimmick of this game is having a secondary character ride along on your back. These characters are released from barrels in levels, and in addition to giving you two extra hit points (on top of your normal two), they give you the ability to float in midair (Diddy Kong), do a floaty double jump (Dixie Kong), or pogo bounce super high and avoid getting harmed by spikes if you time your jumps correctly (Cranky Kong). This sounds really neat, but unfortunately, 95% of the time you want Dixie Kong and the other 5% of the time you need Cranky’s ability to pogo jump and dodge getting hit by spikes instead, with Diddy’s ability being almost totally worthless. As a result, this mechanic, as cool as it sounded at first, is pretty underdeveloped. Each of them also has an underwater “propulsion” ability, but again, Dixie Kong’s is not only the most useful, it’s the only one that is necessary to reach certain secrets.

    Like previous DKC games, the game consists of a series of middling difficulty 2D platforming levels, each of which has its own particular gimmick. This can be anything from going through a fruit factory and jumping off of sliced fruit to navigating through an underwater maze to jumping off of a bunch of cloud-covered platforms that propel themselves through the air and fade as you ride on them, forcing you to move swiftly to avoid falling into a bottomless pit. Indeed, the game is rather fond of bottomless pits in general, particularly in the more difficult stages, where you must jump from platform to platform or enemy to enemy, often with a time limit due to the platforms starting to fall apart after touching them.

    Interspersed with these levels are “vehicle” levels, which really consist of three kinds of levels:

    • Mine cart levels, where you ride in a mine cart and jump over obstacles while moving forward along rails at a constant speed.
    • Rocket levels, where you ride along on a rocket that can be navigated up and down, but which progresses laterally at a constant rate of speed, forcing you to dodge obstacles as you go
    • Rambi the Rhino levels, where you ride on the back of Rambi the Rhino, who can crash through obstacles, walls, and enemies with ease, resulting in lots of environmental destruction and speed as he charges around horn-first.

    Unfortunately, while the game does have a reasonable amount of variety, and the game has a lot of visual spectacle, it doesn’t really quite feel like it is as good as DKC 2 or DKC 3, which is a bit of a let-down.

    The most obvious way that this was the case was the lack of variety in the “bonus rooms”. In this game, there’s puzzle pieces and KONG letters, both of which serve as collectibles in each level. Some of the puzzle pieces are acquired via going into secret bonus rooms, either hidden barrels or entrances in the wall or whatever, which takes you to a separate mini-stage. In DKC 2 and DKC 3, these were all unique little mini stages, each appropriate to the level. However, in this game, the bonus stages are all the same – there’s about six or so room layouts, and they’re repeated throughout the game. They’re all pretty easy, and none of them are creative in any way. This is quite the letdown, and makes them a lot less interesting than they were in the original games.

    But the other issue is more subtle – the levels just don’t feel quite as high quality as the original games’ levels did at times. This game is much more visually impressive, and some of the levels have rather cute gimmicks to them, exploiting the background and doing more in the department of visual spectacle. And yet, the levels still feel slightly lacking, a bit rote. There's just a bunch of niggling little flaws that all add up to make the experience less than amazing.

    Overall, this is a pretty solid platformer. It was fun enough to play through, and while the game wasn’t overly long, probably clocking in around 20ish hours to grab all the collectibles, it wasn’t overly short, either. But it just doesn’t have that extra level of quality to put it over the top in the way that DKC2 did. In the end, I’m left feeling content but ambivalent about the game.    … Expand

    Fuera de fanatismos, la saga Donkey Kong siempre ha sido una forma plataformera buenísima, especialmente en su trilogía origina, los Country de Rareware; sin embargo, esta entrega superó todo lo conocido de la saga, un juegazo muy divertidísimo, con mucha variedad, las mas grande dificultad y recupera la música legendaria de otras entregas. Recomendado al 1000x1000.

    Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze continues the tough-as-nails platforming with new power-ups to help navigate the nastiest obstacles, as we’re treated to the best soundtrack in the series. However, the inconsistent difficulty makes for a less refined game and the bosses are dragged out to the point where fighting them becomes a chore.

    If you enjoy the thrill of Kongquest – er, conquest – over a worthy challenge, this game should satisfy. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 74]
