Finished the game the other day. Like my other post, this isn’t a review or a declaration. Just chatting about games I’m playing and posting some thoughts.
Overall I had a good time with it. Liked the music, the art choices, and the gameplay. I don’t think it does anything revolutionary but it does everything well. Almost gives off Deep Rock Galactic vibes with the digging and the gold.
The voice acting bugged me less when I swapped to Japanese which I can’t understand. English voice actors were fine and all, the game just has very Japanese feeling dialog.
Glad to have played it, had fun and got some 500-600 bananas. Heck, I think it’s my first ever completed DK game. I even listen to the sound track at work quite often (gangplank galleon is amazingly catchy). I definitely felt it was a bit overstimulating though, was just tired and sat and listened to the night sounds after beating the final boss. But worth a play imo.
I loved the game. I think the gameplay is genuinely innovative when you consider the scale of the destructive environments and the material properties. The music was incredible and the story was Pixar esque. Easily the best game on the Switch 2 right now.
Been recommending it to my one friend with a switch but they’ve been hesitant. Every friend that’s played on my switch speaks well of it.
Haven’t been to a Pixar movie in a minute so hard for me to compare. Actually haven’t seen a movie in a hot minute now that I think about it! I’ll take your word for it and i might have to scope out some movies coming up!
I think my rose tinted glasses say that Starfox is the best (admitting huge bias though lol).
