Decent enough platformer with an open world idea that fairly quickly devolves in backtracking. Thankfully Tomba! (Tombi! for us PAL fans) isn't that massive to begin with, eliminating most issues; not only that, there are many passages between levels that really give the impression of a three dimensional world (is this an idea that will be used later? Tomba! 2 fans rejoice).
In short, Tomba! is a fun little game with a charismatic gremlin as a protagonist and many, many, many small quests to give us busy work. It was and still is very original and worth checking out, but some quests will give you an headache (I'm still laughing that in order to get the golden medal in the race, you literally have to do JUST PRESS RIGHT).
