So for now, let’s see what some other outlets have said:
First, we start IgnWho made the game perfect at 10/10, calling it “really groundbreaking 3D platforms”:
“The leader of the bunch is finally back to kick some tail in donkey Kong Keenza, a great heir for Super Mario Odyssey and a smashing returns for a classic nintendo character. It was a adventure option to make the first 3D platform of Switch 2 instead of Mario, but it is the best decision making the best decision. Switch 2 comes together in full harmony to create a work.
next, Siliconera Also provided a review of 10/10 and Banza “provides a continuous range of pleasant surprises:”
“Explore a huge underground world – by breaking your way through it! Bash through the raw power of the donkey kong!
“Donkey Kong Bananja is a continuous chain of pleasant surprise and shows what Switch 2 can handle.”
VGC Gave Bananza a score of 4/5 stars and said that it is “lack of talent of Odyssey”, but still a “top-level” platformor:
“Donki Kong Bananja has a lot of heart – and it can lead you a long way. While DK’s subtrenian adventure does not reach the heights of the work that has a lot of impact, Banza is still a completely recreational platformor that gives the apes the most memorable adventure at a time, and the best reason for buying a switch is now.”
next, Gamespot 9/10 reviews are full of praise, while performance points to hiccups and camera issues:
“Donki Kong Bananja offers a new beginning for donkey Kong which is different from the game of Donkey Kong. It focuses on focusing on disastrous that DK makes DK different from other platforming characters-his Titanic strength, and give them a cute side-sidelm grant. Along with sports like Odyssey, one should be mentioned with the best recent work of Nintendo.
Eurogammer In its 4/5 star review, Bananza is also called “One of the best of DK”:
“When the banleza smash it is completely notable. Sometimes it seems that it is a little lost, or fails to expand on some excellent foundations, which is laying it.
And finally, Thesixthaxis It is said that the game may sometimes lose a little between all destruction, but still it gives a solid 8/10 award:
“Donki Kong Kenza is a intoxicating cacoffney of Brolling, excavation and platforming. It is a new style of 3D platforms from Nintendo, which for better and worse, embraces players through a tunnel and the devastating anarchy to distort the world.”
