The editors didn't like
Co-op multiplayer is great for a giggle but not as focused as single-player
Difficulty could alienate some less tolerant gamers
Ill-advised checkpoint placement makes the game frustrating rather than difficult
Abstract: The attention to detail in the animation and graphics is superb – Donkey Kong's hair, blowing in the wind, uses the graphic processing power of the Wii U in a way that adds character and charm to the game.The music is a rare example of excellence and only...

One of the most rewarding 2D platform games in many years, graphics are sumptuous, cunningly difficult, retains that retro Nintendo feel
Co-op multiplayer is great for a giggle but not as focused as single-player, difficulty could alienate some less tolerant gamers
As a gameplay style, 2D platforming has been given major boosts by Ubisoft's most recent Rayman games and a stack of indie titles, but Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze tops the lot in our eyes. It retains many of the essential elements from past...

Lovely CGI cartoon graphics, Lengthy and challenging, Slick, well-paced and consistently entertaining
Rarely feels inventive or inspired, Camera in co-op is awful, Bosses may cause game rage
Donkey Kong's latest adventure is a slick, good-looking and demanding 2D platformer that works like a trooper to keep you entertained. It's not that imaginative, inventive, original or quirky, though, and after New Super Mario Bros U or the superb Rayman...

Looks great in 1080p 60FPS, Challenging and rewarding, Loads of secrets promote replayability
Not worthwhile for anyone who played it on Wii U
It's a shame, but like many Wii U ports that have popped up on Switch, this is an incredibly high-quality title that frankly doesn't give players enough of a reason to play it again. If you never played this game before and never owned a Wii U then it's a...
Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze's addition of Funky Mode makes it more accessible without reducing the formidable platforming difficulty to a walk in the park. There's still a lot of challenge, even with the extra help Donkey's Funky uncle affords. But the S...
