I loved the Donkey Kong Country games from the very start, and though I haven't been thrilled by every sequel over the years, Tropical Freeze includes virtually everything the series has done right. It's fun to play, has a ton of levels, and wows the eyes...
An adventurous romp of the chest-thumping variety. Perfect for perfectionists / masochists or those wanting a hearty dose of nostalgia, but lacking in that extra something that makes it feel completely fresh....

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a fantastic game, and one of the toughest platformers you'll play these days. The game looks great, plays great, and though multiplayer could use a little more TLC, ultimately this latest Donkey Kong title is ver...
Abstract: In my review of 2010’s Donkey Kong Country Returns, I stated that Retro Studios had shown real skill in developing 2D platformers. In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, they’ve shown absolute mastery. In a world where Nintendo has been maligned for ...
Abstract: While many people think about the fact that Retro Studios could have been working on something else, I am glad that I got to play Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. I made this very clear in my full length preview, which I published four weeks ago, ...
