About

Under the influence of a group of evil Tikis, the animals of Donkey Kong Island have raided Donkey Kong's banana hoard and stolen his stash of bananas - and being an ape of large appetites he understandably wants them back. Good thing that you are along for the ride. With Donkey Kong Country Returns, Retro Studios brings Donkey Kong back to a banana and platforming hungry public in a new side-scrolling adventure with familiar characters and new levels that reignite the passion players had for the Super NES original and all things Donkey Kong.

Celeste

Like Donkey Kong Country Returns, Celeste demands pixel-perfect platforming and rewards persistence with a profound sense of accomplishment, but wraps it in a deeply emotional narrative about overcoming personal struggles.

Hollow Knight

While trading Donkey Kong's vibrant jungle for a melancholic insect kingdom, Hollow Knight offers a similar blend of challenging platforming and exploration, where every new ability unlocks deeper paths and secrets.

Ori and the Blind Forest

Ori offers the same sense of fluid, acrobatic movement and challenging platforming as Donkey Kong Country Returns, but with a more poignant story and a stunning hand-drawn aesthetic that brings its magical world to life.
