Amazing game. The music is gold tier
So glad it's not, would take away skill and be pointless to me. As far as the game is overall, I'd put it as one of the better platformers of all time but think it's a bit overrated here with the hyperbole. I think it's a fantastic game but thought Returns beats it in design. Tropical Freeze beats Returns in variety and presentational value though. Basically, if you combined both of Retro's Donkey Kongs, it would be in the talks of best platformer of all time.the controls and level design. i think grabbing should be automatic. .

The bosses in Returns are way too easy and not memorable. Especially because Tiki Tong and his whole tribe is boring. And Caves being dedicated to rocket barrel and minecart levels is lazy.
What's the big deal with having to hold a button to grab objects? It works perfectly fine once you get use to it.
...since when is running left to right and reacting to obstacles bland? Most platformers, you run left to right and react to obstacles.
Amusingly, while I agree that Tearaway has an unmatched ability to make you feel like you're holding a little world in your hands, I felt the platformer elements were so barebones and pathetically easy that they felt out of place. It felt like I was taking a break from the interesting, inventive stuff whenever I'd walk into an area that was nothing but drum bouncers and slowly unfolding ledges.
It's totally fine to dislike a game, but it seems odd to actively not recommend the game to anyone, even though the consensus is clearly that the game is fantastic , and thus would very likely appeal to most fans of platformers
There are a ton of games I personally dislike, but would still recommend to others. I'm well aware of when I'm in a minority and I don't let that affect someone else potentially missing out on an experience they might love
Yeah, the bosses are probably better in Tropical Freeze and the world enemies are better but I don't believe minecart levels are ever "lazy".
There might be too many of them but there are too few of them in Tropical Freeze for me.
Plus, Tropical Freeze had a whole world of underwater shit(mind you, I thought Retro handled water levels as good as anyone has done in the past).

I wish they'd patch the load times, they're a bit much.
Bought it on sale this morning, played it for an hour. Really like it
Music is not that good in my opinion, but they are ok.
I've come to term with the fact that no platformer will ever make me feel like DKC1 did.
