Some of the best platformers out there, whether made by Rare or Retro. I’d say Donkey Kong Country 2 is the absolute best one.
At first, I wasn’t so crazy about the revival DKC formula. Returns, while a very solid game, felt like it was just pandering to DKC1 nostalgia, while also changing a lot of the original formula that worked for it. Tropical Freeze, however, endeared me much more to the style, possibly by virtue of having many more unique ideas of its own, as well as bringing back the absolute legend of a composer: David Wise.
