It's an adequate 3D platformer. The best part of the game is the controls; satisfying, easy to understand, and it never feels like you're shortchanged when it comes to movement options. Nintendo clearly modeled this game to be a spiritual successor to Super Mario Odyssey-which is its biggest downfall. Just like Odyssey this game falls flat when it comes to replay value. The initial run is great, but like Odyssey It's a 12-hour game that's only truly refreshing for those 12 hours. After the story it's a prolonged scavenger hunt that feels repetitive, with no true reward for your troubles. Not an $80 experience. The music is alright. Like Odyssey its composer is Naoto Kubo, who does a decent job, but this entry in the Donkey Kong series is sorely missing David Wise and it doesn't feel as good as his work.

Was let down. The first one was good but this movie is just millennial humor. The humor feels like memes from 20 years ago. And they use the humor as filler for how short and simple the plot is. I'll give them credit for the three times I cracked a smile.

0/10, they disrespected Ringo Starr
