How this game differs from other entries in the DKC series is the sheer volume of shit to do. What made the old school donkeys shine was the simplicity and technicality of the platforming and movement. Trop take this to 11 with all kinds of shit for you to interact with while you're moving through very precise platforms and janky physics. Perhaps we were all spoiled with DKC 2 and other entries are held to that standard, but Trop is a beautiful game that executes its myriad of ideas well, despite the cramped feeling of the game.
