By Return of the Kong
Last week Donkey Kong returned to the world of 3D platforming over 25 years since his last fully-3D outing in DK64 – and what a return it was!
Donkey Kong Bananza scored an ‘Excellent’ 9/10 in Jim’s review, and most of Team NL has spent this weekend having a smashing time catching up with DK, Diddy, Dixie, and (Void) co. in what Jimbo described as “an almighty re-introduction to the world of 3D platforming for DK, and arguably the Switch 2’s first absolute must-play.”
At the time of writing, the game is enjoying “Universal Acclaim” with a Metascore of 90, but now everyone has had their chance to go bananas with it, we’re wondering if you concur. How would you rate DKB?
While many of you might have blasted through the entire game over the weekend, if you’re anything like us your minecart will have gotten derailed by the countless distractions and doohickeys away from the critical path. If you haven’t finished the game, no sweat – voting in the poll below doesn’t mean your score has to stay the same.
Yes, you can come back at any time to either change your score or add one when you’ve settled on a rating from 1-10. If you’ve already rated the game in our database, thank you kindly – your score already counts! If not, feel free to drop your mark below and let’s find out how Bananza measures up to DK’s big bunch of other games.
