(9.5) Eu sempre gostei desde de pequeno da série Donkey Kong Country, jogava a trilogia num emulador q tinha no click jogos (ESPECIALMENTE o 1), mas nunca tinha terminado um jogo, seja por vontade ou pelo fato de quando pequeno n estava acostumado com jogos com uma dificuldade elevada. Até q ano passado, eu tive uma vontade do nada de jogar DLC, e terminei o 1. Então pela lógica o próximo seria terminar o 2, correto? Bem, o que tenho mais vontade de jogar da franquia (e um dos plataformers) q tenho mais vontade de jogar é o Tropical Freeze, e recentemente me deu um devaneio de jogar ele. Por conta de eu ter desbloqueado o 3ds a algum tempo (e gosto de jogar nele quanto tô com tédio, por conta da praticidade), decidi baixar nele o Returns pra jogar antes. Ele pode n ser tão marcante quanto a trilogia da rare e ser bem derivativo deles, e ter coisas q me incomodam (tipo a ost fraca, a implantação sem sentido da mecânica de sopro e os inimigos q parecem ter saído de um filme da illumination de tão sem carisma e souless q são), mas os últimos 3 mundos (contado com o novo do 3d), são TAO bons, q me fez gostar ainda mais q o 1. Jogão mesmo, hype pro 2 e principalmente pro Tropical Freeze

Zerei 97% do jogo, peguei quase todas as letras KONG e fiz as fases secretas do mundo 1,2,3,5,6,7..
MUNDO 4 e 8 comprei ás Orbes por 50 Coins Cada.
4 Não fiz tudo, pq não suporto mais fase de carrinho, esse mundo é inteiro disso, um dos defeitos do jogo.
E o mundo 8 como muito difícil, me levaria mais tempo, e tenho outros games para jogar, não foco em Platina, só quando empolga mesmo, ou jogo bastante coisa, que nem joguei esse aqui, para resumir, ás 9-9 fases do Mundo 9 eu fiz, é um bom jogo muito difícil, por enquanto, nesse início de 2024, deve está entre os TOP 5 games de Donkey. Em 5° ou 4°, Fico em dúvida dele e do Donkey Kong 3 SNES, isso no meu gosto pessoal, se um dia eu jogar Donkey 64 que alguns gostam muito, eu comento, Depois o TOP 3 fica fácil.
3 - Donkey Kong Country - Snes
2 - Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze - Switch
1 - Donkey Kong Contry 2 - Snes

O jogo não deve ser fácil para todo mundo, porém com paciência e boa jogabilidade evoluindo, boas estratégias, dependendo de cada jogador, dá para zera rápido ou jogar casual e sempre que jogar avançar bem e quando vê, está zerando o jogo, mas prepara para talvez ter um desafio e morrer bastante e para alguns, até morrer por demais.

Finally beat the stupid friggin’ banana temple.

I was planning on playing this game to completion.

But then mirror mode.

No.

BEST PLATFORMING GAME EVER MADE.
Retro Studios never misses, and their adaptation of the DKC games is LEGENDARY.
A key standout is the incredible level design, which throws something new at the player every turn.
The controls are great. If a platformer game has a speedrun option, then you know its got good controls.
The music is astounding.
All around, probably one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

Donkey Kong Country once again proves to be a difficult platformer and just like the reboot of Punch-Out!! on the Wii, this game doesn't pull its punches despite being a more modern game. There are parts of this game that are just as, if not more difficult than in some of the other games, though this game feels a bit weird with its difficulty. Since each area is based off of a theme, some gimmicks are a lot more annoying than others, such as the Cave levels having a lot more Minecart levels or the Volcano levels having the insta-kill lava, which is to be expected but it's a platforming thing I never really liked. The level design itself is pretty fair, though I feel like the movement could've been improved on. I don't think the game feels bad to play by any means, hell I could say they even improved it a bit due to Diddy Kong having a jetpack for a short hover rather than switching between the two. At the same time, the movement just feels sort of awkward at times in a way that's not horrible, but it does make things feel a little more difficult than normal. Overall, pretty solid game with tough level design but very unique gimmicks that enhance the game but also make it harder.

DK Country Returns 3D gets a lot right, but the controls are absolutely awful and some bosses are forgettable. When it comes to controls, the jumping, dodging, and barrel rocket were all victims of poor controls. I'd often slip off a platform and die even when I didn't touch anything, the jumping and dodging were unresponsive sometimes, and the rocket steering was a nightmare. Other than the controls though, I think this game is great! The level design is very well done with a nice variety of everything. Each world has it's own unique feel to it with how these levels are made, and the platforming never felt repetitive. I liked how near the end it switched up to silhouettes which graphically looked amazing and added more to the game. The narrative is pretty good and different from the previous games. It was nice to switch it up from save this character to what they set up in here. While it controls terribly, DK Country Returns 3D is a welcome addition to this amazing franchise that I enjoyed a lot. I will try the Wii version soon though to see if the controls are better there!

Full of really great ideas but the unresponsive controls really get on your nerves sometimes and, towards the end of the game, some of the level design can feel pretty unfair. You'll be doing a fun bit of platforming and then something ridiculous or stupid will happen and you'll have to do a whole section again. It has so much potential and therefore it feels bad to not give it a better rating. I'm therefore looking forward to playing Tropical Freeze. On the soundtrack... I actually think the best tracks are the original ones but there's so few... Mast Blast is such a banger and the funny rocket levels have good themese too, even if the levels themselves can be pretty unfair.

The strengths of this game are hampered by the 3DS' specs, namely the 30fps and 240p resolution which not just affected my enjoyment of the game, but also my ability at playing it.

The difficulty of the game aside from the consequences of the technical limitations was also far too trial & error and punishing for my taste towards the end. I made it to World 8, the volcano world, before deciding to drop the game. They really needed to dial back the amount of mine cart and rocket barrel levels.

The music wasn't good enough to have kept me playing, due not just to the lack of David Wise, but also because even the DKC1 remixes sounded uninspired rather than charming and nostalgic.

This didn't scratch the itch that Tropical Freeze left me with, though I can't say I regret having played it.
