If all future Nintendo Switch 2 games receive this much time and attention—with such a focus on playing to the dockable handheld’s strengths—then we could be looking at one of the best consoles of all time. Donkey Kong Bananza one of those games that you end up buying an entire console for, and not regretting it one bit.

The skill tree, once belonging to the RPG genre, has infiltrated its way into almost every modern game, and Donkey Kong Bananza is no exception. With a plethora of skills to unlock (even from the very start of the game), it’s important to know which skills will benefit you the most when beginning your playthrough.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a blast, even at its weakest points. It seems like a bit of a mess initially, though, like a mismatched set of ideas stitched together and set loose, but the fantastical settings and occasionally odd story end up being its most coherent parts.
