Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze boasts the finest 2D level design ever created, with each stage introducing a unique gimmick that never overstays its welcome. The David Wise soundtrack and dynamic camera work elevate the experience, while the difficulty curve expertly separates casuals from masters, offering a challenging but fair journey. This platformer was the most criminally underplayed of its generation due to the Wii U's poor sales, a fate that #8 Rayman Legends also suffered despite its brilliance. Sales figures show it sold just 4 million copies, significantly less than #5's Super Mario Odyssey with 26 million, highlighting its unjust obscurity.
