What is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
This HD release is a re-master of a previously re-released title. Following its 2010 Wii debut and subsequent 2013 3DS port (featuring eight exclusive levels), this version includes all original levels plus the additional 3DS content.
The game maintains its challenging gameplay. However, players can now opt for an easier mode (introduced in the 3DS version) offering additional hearts and assistance.
Expect classic Donkey Kong gameplay: navigating perilous pits, swinging on vines, barrel blasting, banana collecting, and much more. Two-player couch co-op is also available upon finding Diddy Kong.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a highly recommended title, receiving an 8/10 rating in our review. Check out our full review for a detailed breakdown of the enhancements and overall experience.
