I haven't quit in the middle of a game in a while, but fuck this shit. I hate it. I hate it. Mechanics are far too antiquated and the camera is your worst enemy. Damn game is giving me a midlife crisis. I thought it was too childish from the jump, but I kept pushing and the feeling of "wtf am I doing" kept blooming over and over again. Also, continuing to play this game means I would also have to keep listening to its music. 🤢 (Rusty Bucket Bay) And on top of all that, it robbed me of genuine nostalgia. I grew up with Donkey Kong 64, and it's kind of a guilty pleasure, but now I realize how much of a copy/paste it is of this. One of my favorite game reviewers called this "concentrated fun", but there's no going backwards this far. Missed the boat.

This is what I said at the time:
"The percussion really isn't bad at all but the horns and the sfx make me want to die. Imagine this on loop for an hour and we're in the same place, guaranteed."

The game is shit but dont insult the music man
Just Rusty Bucket Bay. I'll die on this hill.
Donkey Kong 64 was released after Banjo Kazooie though. So technically DK64 is a copy paste of Banjo Kazooie (Which is normal cause the engine is the same in both games). Sorry if I didn't understand correctly, I speak French and not English.
