Over 100 Kongs died to bring you this review. But it was not in vain, because beating Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze earned me some serious platformer bragging rights. This is a tough platformer, seemingly intentionally designed to make you go ape at times. Some stages quickly pulled the ground out from under me, others challenged me to make precise jumps using springboards, vines, and other kooky contraptions to move forward.
But developer Retro has departed from the slavish series rebirth called Donkey Kong Country Returns and created something special here. Retro’s Wii revival had the unenviable task of reviving a classic series from the Super Nintendo era, so it constantly beat you over the head as if to constantly say, “Hey, remember this?” As a sequel, Tropical Freeze blazes its own trail by adding two character with useful abilities and unique ideas for challenging levels across six islands.
