What makes it interesting is it has a really unique mix of stealth and puzzle gameplay that I haven't really seen from other games - each level requires you to do a mix of environmental puzzle solving, platforming, finding and using equipment such as food lures, disguises and rockets, along with some stuff like bomb defusal, and finally stealthly hiding from the Sheepdog as you try to steal his sheep one by one. One of my favourite PS1 games is Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (or Sheep Raider in the US) and was a pretty obscure late-late-gen game (as in 2001) based on the Looney Tunes license. What do you guys think? What's a stellar, criminally-underplayed gem lurking out there that you wish more people had gotten their hands on? Any game from any platform, across all generations. I actually think it would be an incredible candidate for an HD remake, though I don't think the game was ever quite popular enough to warrant such a dream. This game was really special to me as a kid, so a lot of my love for this game is nostalgia-induced, but I maintain that this game is still a damn good time. There are also mechanics unique to each area, which really helps to mix things up and make both puzzles and platforming feel varied. Even though the graphics are showing their age, these environments are still stellar and they each have their own special vibe that makes them so fun to explore. There's a whole industrial coal-mining town, a pretty seaside village, a super creepy forest, icy mountain tops, and loads more. The best parts, however, are the environments. The combat is interesting with a variety of weapons you can collect and diverse enemy types, boss fights are cool, the clothing you wear will alter your abilities so that you can glide or run faster, puzzles are usually clever enough, there are some really unique mini-games hidden around the world, the music is great, and all the character designs are so vivid and memorable.

The platforming was never "Mario"-tight, but it's certainly strong. That said, the moment-to-moment gameplay holds up! The graphics have certainly aged (though I remember being pretty impressed back in the day) and some of the voice acting is abysmal. Controlling the change in diretion is painfully clunky. In some ways, the game has not aged well-it's got kind of a 2.5 perspective, and in some areas you can move left-right or forward-back. I have recently been re-playing it as an adult, and I still think it's absolutely a hidden gem. I was a Nintendo kid, but one of my buddies had "Tomba 2!," and that game alone sold me on the Playstation. The Playstation library was massive, so all my friends who had one back in the day had pretty vastly different libraries (save for some of the big ones, like Crash or Spyro). The old /r/patientgamers Essential Games Listįor me, it will always be "Tomba 2!" for the Playstation.
