    While it has very nice graphics
    My complaints are 3
    1) I don't feel that there is very good control (response times)
    2) The tracks are quite impassable, huge, and pointless (e.g. some that are with a barrel in the water area or generally in the water area... you don't know where you need to go to finish)
    3) Because, as I said, some tracks are impassable, it gives you a message after a certain point saying you don't need to finish to go to the next one, etc. In this way, in each level (this has 6), at the end you have to fight the boss which is unreasonably difficult... you might lose 20 times... which is boring to be stuck on one track.

    I put it in the console and didn't play anything else until I finished it. It kept my interest, I unlocked all the levels. Some were very difficult without being tiring. I highly recommend it

    As a fan of the donkey kong series, I can't give this game any less stars for what I experienced. Very enjoyable, beautiful, fun, and challenging for those who seek it.

    For me, one of the best 2D DK games (maybe the second best after the amazing donkey kong country 2 on the SNES).

    I consider it a title that you must have in your collection.

    The game is amazing. It captivates both young and old from the first moment. Although I consider the price of 50€ to be steep, I give it 5 stars because it has incredible graphics and its story relaxes you. I haven't finished it yet, but I think it will take me a while to get bored of it

    20 years after the first time I played a game from the same franchise, I can say that I am completely satisfied! The difficulty level is higher compared to the older Donkey Kong Country games (or maybe I just grew up). It's a very good game with great music, perfect for relaxing. It's definitely worth the money! I highly recommend it.

    Unbelievable level design for a platformer, better than the most recent 2D Mario games. To fully enjoy the greatness of the game, don't leave it at the first playthrough, try to unlock the hidden tracks and aim for 100% completion. Equip yourself with patience because it involves a lot of trial and error and overall old-school difficulty.

    An amazing 2D platform title that takes us back to the past with better graphics. It is challenging, beautiful, fun, and high-quality, but at the same time, it is also excessively expensive. If one considers what they can get with 50 euros on other consoles, they will understand that it is not worth the money it asks for. However, the competition does not offer a portable alternative, so there is no point of comparison. I bought it, played it, enjoyed it, liked it, and would buy it again out of nostalgia, as I am a gamer from the 90s and because I want my children to grow up with such games.

    Due to its classic title and nostalgia, I will say that it is worth buying, but for what it offers, its price is quite high. It has decent graphics, enjoyable gameplay, a pleasant story, a bit challenging, nice music. Overall, it is a good choice for a 2D platform game!

    Fantastic!!! A work of art by retro studios!!!
    The epitome of a platform game. Fantastic gameplay.
    I was looking for a good platform game and I had bought MARIO ODYSSEY. I was not satisfied, technically it was perfect but it leaned more towards exploration than a platform game. Then I decided to play Donkey Kong. I am thrilled, it's a classic platform game with challenges and trials, the gameplay is addictive and it runs at 60 fps on the Switch!!! It's fantastic!!! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to play a good platform game and more.

    I had never played donkey before, especially lately. Very good and fun, I am on the third level and it started to get difficult. Maybe I will switch to the funky mode, which is easier. I had to start from the beginning for the Franky mode. It's worth the money, I bought it for 51, and it will be even more valuable if it goes below 40!
    I finished it, it's worth buying for those who didn't have it on the Wii, very powerful and on the tablet, but it looks super on a good TV. I was losing lives constantly, but you can easily buy more.

    I mean, within the game, by collecting bananas, you can buy lives by giving bananas...

  • While it has very nice graphics
    My complaints are 3
    1) I don't feel that there is very good control (response times)
    2) The tracks are quite impassable, huge, and pointless (e.g. some that are with a barrel in the water area or generally in the water area... you don't know where you need to go to finish)
    3) Because, as I said, some tracks are impassable, it gives you a message after a certain point saying you don't need to finish to go to the next one, etc. In this way, in each level (this has 6), at the end you have to fight the boss which is unreasonably difficult... you might lose 20 times... which is boring to be stuck on one track.

  • I put it in the console and didn't play anything else until I finished it. It kept my interest, I unlocked all the levels. Some were very difficult without being tiring. I highly recommend it

  • As a fan of the donkey kong series, I can't give this game any less stars for what I experienced. Very enjoyable, beautiful, fun, and challenging for those who seek it.

    For me, one of the best 2D DK games (maybe the second best after the amazing donkey kong country 2 on the SNES).

    I consider it a title that you must have in your collection.

  • The game is amazing. It captivates both young and old from the first moment. Although I consider the price of 50€ to be steep, I give it 5 stars because it has incredible graphics and its story relaxes you. I haven't finished it yet, but I think it will take me a while to get bored of it
