DONKEY KONG COUNTRY RETURNS HD REVIEW
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a great remaster of a 2D platformer that shines the most with its engaging gameplay, likeable characters, story and slick performance. Albeit, the control mapping, some graphic changes and other small unfavourable elements drag this fun game down. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a great 2D platformer that is suitable for everyone. If you love 2D platformers or Donkey Kong, this game is far more likely to leave a great impression.
