Donkey Kong Bananza

This is a very different game from the usual Nintendo 3D platformers, and that idiosyncracy doesn’t always work–there are too many levels that just aren’t particularly fun. It is also remarkably ugly in its glowing greens and purples–but I suppose that does also give it a unique visual style. Yet, despite these caveats, the smash-everything voxel technology perfectly fits with Donkey Kong’s endearing character, and there is something very satisfying about eating all those rock bananas. ★★★★☆
