I first played this back in 3rd grade via Bleem which was a legally (at the time) sold program that allowed PC users to play PlayStation games on their computer. The only downside is occasionally you had to deal with broken cutscenes and jumbled text, but that didn’t stop me from playing through about half this game without a clue what was really happening. Having finally played through this in English, it’s hilarious how little the experiences differ.

I was kinda surprised how much I prefer the first “Tomba” game; it’s funnier and the world has so much to explore. In the second game, while there’s more 3D elements, the game feels emptier and there’s far less incentive to complete all of the silly side quests.
