Absolute masterpiece with terrain destruction mechanics and massive innovative content.
Our analysis
Exceptional finale and destruction tech mechanics, but inconsistent quality between sections.
Our analysis
Exceptional platformer redefining what DK can be. Slow start but transforms into innovative gem.
Our analysis
Exceptional destruction mechanics with superior feedback. Makes smashing incredibly enjoyable.
Our analysis
Impressive platformer with creative level design and visually stunning environments.
Our analysis
An engaging platformer with thoughtful level design and fun boss variety. Platforming feels tight and accessible while exploration remains rewarding and not boring.
Our analysis
Donkey Kong Bananza delivers fantastic controls, satisfying digging and an outstanding finale for longtime fans. Uneven level design, a sometimes forgettable soundtrack and poor final-boss checkpointing temper an otherwise great game.
Our analysis
An excellent 3D platforming adventure that reboots Donkey Kong by fusing Super Mario Odyssey-style exploration with Tears of the Kingdom-like terrain deformation, all carried by an enormously expressive DK and a sweet bond with sidekick Pauline. The compulsive banana-hunting loop, transformative Bonanza powers, and constant sense of surprise stand out, though the confusing fossil-costume system and notable camera quirks and frame drops from the destructible environments hold it back.
Our analysis
Donkey Kong Bananza is a brilliant successor to Super Mario Odyssey, with expressive movement, dynamic destruction, and clever challenges that keep evolving after the credits. Occasional camera and frame-rate issues barely diminish the adventure.
Our analysis
An excellent, enjoyable Switch 2 platformer from the team behind Super Mario Odyssey — high-quality and a lot of fun for fans and newcomers alike. The main caveats are a few performance drops and a steep £60 price point.
Our analysis
A fantastic 3D platformer for Switch 2 with a destructible voxel-based world and creative level design that constantly introduces new mechanics. The game is engaging and addictive, earning strong recommendation despite technical performance issues.
It's a game with an original concept, interesting on paper, that succeeds in what it proposes.I can probably say with certainty that no one will regret playing this game.About

Our analysis
A good game with well-executed transformation mechanics and enjoyable stages, though bosses are poorly designed and the terraforming potential feels underexploited.

Our analysis
An outstanding platformer that innovatively combines destructible terrain mechanics with excellent level design and a compelling story. Despite minor issues with boss difficulty and performance, it's a complete, content-rich title that stands among the best Nintendo platformers.
