There were a few shortcomings – namely the unimaginative enemy designs and the reliance on motion controls – but the game was largely an enjoyable romp that harkened back to the good old days of the original Donkey Kong trilogy while modernising it to a point where it looked great and had a much more alive and dynamic feel. Retro Studio’s first game in the franchise, Returns, was a welcome “return” (sorry) for the franchise. Their artistic direction is fantastically realised, their soundtracks are some of the greatest pieces ever showcased in a video game and the gameplay is en pointe, balancing perfectly between a feeling of challenge and a feeling of accessibility. The Donkey Kong Country games are almost the perfect package for a gamer like me.
