Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is one of those games you come by every once in awhile where there isn't much you can really fault it for. This is by far one of the best platformers to ever exist... Yeh I'm serious. It's roght up there with the best and what's even better is the game immerses you in its lush forests, characters oh and the sound? Don't get me started, Tropical Freeze has by far one of the most impressive soundtracks I have heard in a video game for years I don't know what it is that Nintendo does but they just get video games like this right. Gameplay is fluid and smooth and you can really get the hang of the game pretty quick, but don't be fooled this game is no joke and it does get demanding with its difficulty you won't breeze this game on normal mode BUT in that regard as you can see on the cover Nintendo have added something called FUNKY MODE where you play as Funky instead of Donkey Kong, Funky has more health and abilities which makes the game alot easier to run through which is great if you want a quick game for a short time or if you have kids who want a bit more of a more forgiving game. Adding to the experience is collecting all of the K.O.N.G letters and Pieces of a puzzle to unlock collectables which really adds reason to go back and replay levels as I have countless times. There is also local multiplayer if you want to play with a friend which is where you play through the same game but as separate character I've given it a go and it can be pretty enjoyable but it's definitely not the centre of attention but it's there if you want it. Visually the game looks STUNNING! Running at a full 720p on handheld and 1080p on a TV this game looks beautiful and I mean that. Stunning colour and crisp textures for a switch game course this world feels alive!! Honestly just going off what I've written so far there is no reason why you shouldn't have already ordered this game. If you haven't experienced this game then you really have to. Enjoy the Jungle.

This game is simply one of the best in the platform genre. Its full of life, colour and a nice challenge for anyone who enjoys platformers. DK controls amazingly in this game. Very responsive as you traverse through these deceptively tricky stages that are so well crafted, and so beautiful to look at. Set pieces are plenty and all are accompanied by wonderful scores of music,both remix's of classics and new tracks to get you immersed in this world. Their are 3 other kongs to find as you play and each can change the way you play as well as help find all the secrets a stage has to offer. Finding all the KONG letters in every stage of every island will reward you with a challenging level even the most hardcore of gamers without ever feeling unfair. Though they are optional and not needed to finish the main game. This is a hard game and if you'd like an "easier" time then the new funky long mode is what you need. It doesn't make the game too easy as levels are identical but gives you more health and tricks to avoid death. Though he cannot partner up with the other kongs. Speaking of the other kongs you can have a player 2 join at any time which is great and is just the cherry on the cake of this fabulous game. Yes this has very little changed from the wii u version which you can pick up cheaper. But if you've not played this and want a wonderfully crafted, bouncy,fun and challenging experience I can think of no better game for this genre on the switch.

Top class platforming! Beautiful to look at, incredibly fun and addictive to play, but also deeply infuriating at times as the difficulty level increases. The big difference between this and the original game is that you can play as Funky King which makes the game a lot easier, eg you can float over spikes. This is great for kids. My son gave up on the original game when we had it on a previous console because it was just too tough for him. But this allows him to enjoy the game without wanting to hurl the controller at the screen. The boss levels are fiendishly difficult as before but patience is rewarded. The game is full of cute surprises and classic Nintendo humour. What's not to love?

Good game

I’ve been playing Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Nintendo Switch, and wow, this game is both amazing and frustrating (in a good way). If you’re into Mario etc, this one is definitely worth checking out, but there are a few things to keep in mind. What I Loved: • Incredible Level Design: The levels are gorgeous and super creative. Every stage feels different, with unique themes, challenges, and even music that perfectly fits the vibe. It’s not just a game—it’s an experience. • Challenging Gameplay: This game does not hold your hand. It’s tough but rewarding. Every time I beat a tricky section, I felt like I earned it. And when I messed up (a lot), it was usually my fault, not the game’s. • Playable Characters: You can play as Donkey Kong or get help from characters like Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky Kong, each with their own abilities. It’s fun experimenting with what works best in different levels. • Funky Mode: If the challenge feels overwhelming, there’s Funky Kong, who makes things easier with extra health and moves. It’s perfect if you just want to enjoy the game without raging. What Could Be Better: • Difficulty Spikes: The game can go from manageable to “pull-your-hair-out hard” in the blink of an eye. My kids who are 7 find parts really tough and I have to help them, especially when sliding down the vines. It’s satisfying once you beat a level, but it can be frustrating in the moment. • Boss Battles Drag On: The boss fights are cool and creative, but they take a while. Sometimes it feels like they last a bit too long, especially if you keep dying and have to restart. • No Co-Op Online: You can play co-op locally, which is fun, but there’s no option to play online. In a world where so many games have online features, this feels like a missed opportunity. • Controls Take Time to Master: The controls can feel a little floaty at first, especially when making precise jumps. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it takes a bit of practice. Bottom Line: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is an absolute blast for platforming fans. It’s challenging, visually stunning, and packed with charm. Just be ready for some tough moments and long boss fights. If you like a mix of fun and frustration with a big payoff, you’ll love it. And if the difficulty scares you, Funky Mode is there to save the day, especially with the kids. Definitely worth picking up for your Switch.

Grandson was thrilled he had it for a birthday present.

One of the most visually beautiful, well crafted modern platform games ever! Having recently purchased a switch, I bought this game as im a fan of the older platform games. I have mario deluxe also which is great, but DK is alot better - its a pleasure to play, challenging in parts yes but a lot more forgiving than the older games. The animations and boss fights in this game are just so beautifully put together, so vibrant and engaging to play. Im having a blast playing it very good fun - highly recommend especially if youre a fan of platform games.

I must say, as a young single gay male this game has kept me entertained for days on end! I have forgotten about dating full stop recently because I just want to play this game 24/7. Must get back out there and find another man who appreciates this game as much as I do other men. 100% worth it guys.

Bonne animation pour ce jeu 3D

Die Steuerung des Spieles ist einfach nur schlecht. Schlagen und Sprinten ist auf der selben Taste belegt, was dazu führt, dass wenn man aus dem Stand los Sprinten will, dass man erstmal auf den Boden schlägt. Dann verhält DK sich manchmal seltsam und Rutscht ein paar mm weiter. Auf die Wasser level will ich gar nicht erst eingehen, denn da ist die Steuerung noch schlechter.
