Tropical Freeze is sublime paradise for the true platformer audience. There's so much about it that just...good lord fucking works. I have now played through it, (not 100% each time), 4 times. It is masterful in a platformer sense. Truly.
I'll just bring up a quick tidbits
1. The difficulty. Which I honestly find the discussion around very odd. While it's a tough game, it never felt any tougher than DCK2 to me. And it certainly never felt unfair. I think it struck the perfect line of challenging but enjoyable platformers. Just like DKC2.
2. The music. David Wise. I'll just leave these two things here...
Yes I know there's a lot of new, incredible music in this game that is brought up quite often, which I demonstrate a bit with the new absolutely spectacular Homecoming Hyjinx. For good reason. But...Lockjaw's Saga is one of my favorite video game tracks in history. And Wise's reimagining of it just...kills me. Dead. Pretty much, the game is filled to the brim with great original music AND jaw dropping reimagingings which will blow your nostalgia fucking mind. The entire soundtrack is god damn fucking ACE.
3. The level design, along with the abnormally instinctive and satisfying movement of the characters. Nope. Not even gonna get into this. Done summing up how incredible this game is here because I could type forever and would like to continue living my life. Would also like to get back to drinking beer.
Am I crazy? Cause if I am, you're crazy. Tropical Freeze is fucking godlike.
