Game
Originally released in 2014 for the Wii U. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was re-released for Switch in 2018.
The game is a colorful side-scrolling platformer, with meticulously designed levels, from lush jungles to icy realms. The game’s visuals are stunning and complemented by a soundtrack you won't be able to get out of your head. The gameplay retains the classic Donkey Kong charm with added depth, offering a challenging experience through precise platforming and intense boss battles.
Co-op
One extra player can team up as one of Donkey Kongs partners (Diddy, Dixie, or Cranky Kong), each possessing unique abilities. This mode adds a layer of strategy and coordination, as players must communicate and synergize their characters' skills to progress.
However, the co-op can be chaotic, especially during demanding segments, and a mismatch in skill levels between players might lead to frustration.
