Tropical Freeze is automatically better than its predecessor due to button mapped controls and overall less trial and error design.
Generally an easier game, though the Kong levels are certainly not.
David Wise's compositions are your typical earmelters with bungabunga bangers and the level themes are more unique and gives Tropical Freeze more of an identity of its own.
When you get stuck in random animations like bouncing off walls by simply tapping the wall in midair or sliding at slopes or ice and being unable to cancel out with rolls it can be pretty damn frustrating. This happened a lot to me in the final world, the ice drifting was not a very pleasant combination to the mechanics. And I honestly don't like the final world since it leans back towards the trial and error design again.
Outside of that, I adore all the variety and otherwise excellent level design Tropical Freeze offers and it's easily one of my favourite 2D platformers, very much so as DKC 1 and 2 in most merits.
