Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition Reviews
The best way to describe Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition is that it’s a product of a different time. It’s not a bad game because someone threw out a piece of unfinished trash. It’s bad because it comes from a much less refined era. While the changes in the Special Edition do alleviate the annoying parts, you’re still better off playing one of the many other better Metroidvanias on the market.
Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return was overlooked for a reason. It’s a disappointing follow-up that plays it safe and feels worse to play. If you are already a fan, this Special Edition is a no-brainer. It may not be as good as the first game, but it’s good to have it preserved and widely available at a low cost, with QOL features to soften the questionable design choices.
