Can't get to that floating island? Grab a bunch of dirt and build a bridge! It feels like Minecraft freedom crammed into the best kind of 3D platformer. My gosh it's SO good!

Now, with Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo lets players almost completely dismantle an entire world to explore. Is there treasure in that mountain? DESTROY IT! Maybe a giant banana gem is hiding somewhere below you? DIG DIG DIG. Incredible! No other platformer allows this freedom.

I love how Nintendo constantly changes paradigms in big "reboot" releases. When BotW came out, suddenly you could go anywhere, climb anything, fly when you wanted. It ruined other open world games for me. Totally spoiled the player and gave true navigational freedom.
