Review Approach:

I love this game so much. I beat it a few years ago and it's just one of the best things ever created.
Donkey Kong Country Returns is a Wii platformer where you get bananas and beat up the guys who steal your bananas
This game gets a 10/10 from me. For starters, the graphics are so amazing. It even surpasses many Wii U games in terms of appearance.
The levels are difficult but not in a cheap way. They are just hard enough to challenge the player, and separate real gamers from noobs.
One of the most critically acclaimed aspects of Donkey Kong Country Returns (and personally one of my favorite parts) is getting to grab a lot of bananas. They are everywhere, and you will be rewarded handsomely for collecting an abundance of these delicious yellow fruits.

Playing as Donkey Kong is awesome due to how strong he is. He harbors many moves along with his partner, Diddy Kong!
If you have a friend to play with you, (consider yourself lucky for having a friend XD), they will be delighted to play as Diddy Kong becuase unlike other monkeys, he is equipped with a jetpack. He can glide in the air shortly which can make levels a lot easier.

Overall, Donkey Kong Country Returns is fun, challenging, and an experience that every Wii owner must try.

Overall

One of the best games ever made and another shining star on DK's record.
I purely went to find this because, Y'know, Funny Monkey
But the game honestly is very good, And in any of the wii games, Graphics were welcome to improve, And it was a nice refresher on what Donkey Kong as an IP can be if used properly, Despite my undying love for the first 2 as I refuse to acknowledge the third exists.

  1. Hardware

    Tribit StormBox Micro 2

    Cramming a ton of features into a small package is a difficult feat on its own, but the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 manages all that and then some.
  2. Hardware

    Epomaker CoolKiller CK98 Keyboard

    Did Epomaker learn its lessons from the last RGB-ified outing, with the new CoolKiller keyboard?
  3. Nintendo Switch

    Dredge

    Indie title Dredge sails you out on a fishing adventure; but what looks like a cosy trip in the open seas can turn into a fight for survival after dark. Will you conquer the seas?
  4. Computer

    ShowGunners

    Turn-based is definitely not my go-to, but ShowGunners definitely piqued my interest so I had to give it a whirl!
  5. Computer

    Case of the Golden Idol

    Case of the Golden Idol was one of the most acclaimed games of 2022. With its first DLC releasing today, does it still live up to the hype?
