Man it feels good when a game you've always wanted to play turns out to be not only really fun but the best game in the series. I loved nearly every second of this game (minus the World 4 boss but that's to be expected with an underwater boss). The game is still difficult like the other DKC games, but this one felt the most fair, though I will admit it is a little easier than the others. That isn't to say that there aren't any hard moments in this game, but it just felt like smoother sailing compared to the other games. It also is a bit shorter, but I'm glad it didn't overstay its welcome. I also thought the ice physics would be really annoying, though I guess I shouldn't have expected that from a game called Tropical Freeze because they nailed the platforming this time. The game doesn't feel slippery like Returns sort of did somehow. I also think the level themes are really strong here, as it feels like there's more, such as Juicy Jungle or Autumn Heights. The bosses were all pretty fun (minus the World 4 boss, that one was annoying because its underwater) and the OST is incredible, especially the boss themes like Big Top Bop, Punch Bowl, and Volcano Dome. Overall, Tropical Freeze was another great Donkey Kong Country experience and I'm glad I'm ending it off with my new favourite.

Donkey Kong is a franchise that I feel has yet to find its formula. Since its comeback, it's evident that its essence is still there, but there's a need for evolution, and in this game, unlike the previous one, I caught a glimpse of the directions in which this franchise can expand and improve. As a player of the originals, I feel that the current ones don't live up to the greatness of what it used to be.

However, playing Tropical Freeze reignited my hope for the franchise. There are stages where I genuinely felt happy and moved by the soundtrack. The boss battles in this title are some of the best I've encountered in platform games, and despite a significant lack of creativity and monotony between these great stages and others, I feel that the legacy of Donkey Kong is on a promising path.

Melhor DKC e uns dos melhores jogos 2D que eu já joguei. Só não decidi se é melhor que Planet Robobot.

Oh GOD where do i begin
the environments are insane, the music is laced with nostalgia, the level design is impeccable, daring even, and you can play as funky kong
THIS is a donkey kong country game
