Having a hell of a time with DK Bananza so far! This game is absolutely massive and there are so many things to do, plus the digging mechanic is actually way more satisfying than it has any right to be. It feels like every little thing you do is meaningful. This is the Nintendo I love. Huge levels of polish.

Of course I have only barely scratched the surface, so maybe it will get old after a while, but I can recognize already that there is a big difference between the gameplay loop of this and something like Tears of the Kingdom. Just the fact that there is skill point progression is a massive upgrade over, say, Mario Odyssey.

Super glad I picked it up, haven't had this much fun playing a video game since Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
