Reviews

To be perfectly honest, Tomba! isn’t a game for everyone. It’s silly, often feels directionless and random, poorly-explained, and looks a little wonky in that old PS1 game way you love or hate. And the controls can feel fumbly, not just with Tomba’s comically huge jump but with the game and emulator itself. I still find myself forgetting which button to press to do which action, and there isn’t an in-game controller menu aside from the scanned manual (which has the controller glyphs blanked out for maximum legal efficiency). You also can’t pause the videos! for some reason! But where Tomba! lacks polish and clarity it more than makes up for in charm, humor, and the fun of discovery. And this Special Edition release treats it with a level of admiration that’s long-past due.
