I haven't played this in ages, but I remember it being a solid, if unremarkable Mega Man-like. I recall it being really short, though.
Solid 2D platformer with a cool visual style and great atmosphere. The level design is generally solid throughout, and the game introduces a lot of varied mechanics to keep things fresh without straying too far from the core platforming gameplay you're here for in the first place.
There's two things I didn't like here. First is the length. You can beat this in an afternoon, which is not really anything new when it comes to a lot of SNES games, but the levels here feel pretty short in of themselves, which makes the game feel shorter than it actually is. Secondly is the camera. I felt it was just a tad too close to the player in a lot of cases, resulting in several moments where I was blindsided by an enemy or projectile that hit me before I could see it coming. It's not a constant occurence, but it does happen more often than I'd like it to. Just a little bit of extra screen space would have gone a long way here.
Outside of a handful of complaints, Donkey Kong Country is solid and an easy game to recommend for fans of the genre. I might go back to reach 100% completion one day, but I'm satisfied with leaving it here for the time being. Definitely looking forward to playing the second and third games in the future.

Yeah, it's Puyo, alright. Except this time I can't read anything!
This one actually introduced a lot of the series' staple gameplay features such as neutralizing chains, but it does feel pretty vanilla going back to it nowadays, and it's also super short if you're just trying to beat the single-player campaign. Still, it's a good puzzler and a good Puyo game, worth playing as always.
