2) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Retro Studios took everything they learned from their first outing with the DK crew and cranked everything up to 11! They turned out a truly phenomenal sequel that puts almost all other sequels to shame. Awe-inspiring platforming that is practically perfect on every way. Even better visuals and set pieces. Visual story telling that gets so much information across in just a small amount of time! More characters. I could go on! But I have to talk about the winner.

1) Donkey Kong Country 2
This game has been in this top place for decades. It will always be here. I know that. You knew that. Do I really need to emphasize why? The otherworldly soundtrack? The magnificent level design? The beloved soundtrack? The perfect set of balance the game has with collectibles and platforming? THE GOSH DANG BEAUTIFUL SOUNDTRACK?!

So, why not Freeze over DKC2? Because. At the end of the day, Freeze still feels like a set of levels. DKC2 was a cohesive world, and a lost world, on top of that! It was a real adventure, filled with unpredictability, danger and wonder. Also nostalgia. Most definitely!
