Just close your eyes for a minute and listen. Does that sound like you're in a dungeon? Are they usually smothered in inoffensive music? Open your eyes now. Isn't this place suspiciously clean? Aren't the colors somewhat washed out? And why are all the tunnels so straight? See, DK games were from the same family that gave us stuff like Planescape: Torment, The Secret World or No One Lives Forever - hot messes with a glorious vision. Here, none of this artistry is on display. Where WftO copies the old stuff, it turns out kind of soulless, and where it tries new things, it's consistently meh. There's too much of everything, very little matters, and nothing is particularly memorable. One thing I'll give them credit for is Daddy Pig. They did him well. All in all, for me this thing is a dud. It's not Dungeon Keeper 3, it's a committee's bucketful of dungeony things upended into a sandbox with pastel walls. If you're boiling to scratch a particular itch, you may like it, but it's not going to define you childhood, or even the month, really.
