10 Most Difficult Platforming Games You Need to Play

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY: TROPICAL FREEZE

Donkey Kong is another series that has never shied away from presenting its players with grueling challenges, and its last entry, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, was very much cut from the same cloth. Retro’s 2D platformer exhibits incredible variety and design across all of its levels, and from on-rails sections to unique environmental challenges to more combat-focused sections, there’s plenty throughout the experience that demands quite a lot from the player. Those who’re looking for an easygoing platformer might not find it here, but if a challenge is something you enjoy, Tropical Freeze is one of the genre’s best offerings in recent years.
