Agreed. This isn't the sort of game I usually take to but its currently on course to be the first game I finish this year. I tried the original recently when it came to gamepass and couldn't get into it. Psychonauts 2, however, I feel obliged to see through until the end. Creative design along with an intelligently written plot. Can see it if featuring heavily in game of the year awards in a few months time.

The original Psychonauts was one of the greatest games on Playstation 2. That shit was incredibly designed, incredibly written--amazing fucking art, and I can't express how damn happy I am that this review isn't calling it a shitty letdown. Fuck yes The noir/darkness in how the original explored mental illness, and just the darker parts/presentation of the human psyche was and still is one of a kind. Playing it as a kid/teen, I was as disturbed as I was emotionally gripped. What's said and what wasn't said...highly advise that everyone plays these damn games

My siblings recently chipped in and bought me an Xbox XS w/ a subscription/game pass thingy. Just in time before yet another lockdown. And I had heard one or two things about Psychonauts, but wrote it off immediately because the look of the main character made me assume it was a Ratchet & Clank sorta game (which I enjoyed as a younger teen, but it's not my jive now as an adult). My brother mentioned this just came out and strongly recommended I play it - he said it was the same makers as Grim Fandago or something, and I thought meh might as well got nothing else to do. Downloaded it, played it and thought it was pretty sweet. Then I kept playing, and when you think it can't get any weirder, it does. You think the opening area is the expanse of the worlds, and that when you're close to finishing that'll be it. But no, it opens up into a much larger world a few times. I was gobsmacked by the incredible detail of practically every level and how much content there was. The imagination and creativity that went into this, as well as the varying gameplay to keep things interesting is incredible. Every boss battle felt vastly different, the challenges in levels changed and the environments were unique. I found myself playing for entire days (and I haven't done that since I was a teen, as an adult I've lost a bit of interest in games). I was excited for every new area and level, and wanted to explore everything thoroughly. The enemies and the items are so well thought out and logical in regards to place in the Psychonaut universe. The dialogue is funny and cutscenes are interesting to watch (I always skip cutscenes cos I'm lazy but on this I didn't). By far and large I am incredibly perfect this game is. I feel like I haven't come across a game that has felt this well rounded in both gameplay and story since maybe Bloodborne or Hollow Knight (two of my other favourite games). It's been refreshing playing something like this, as I've felt a lot of games of late - just like movies - have been kinda rushed, or have lots of bugs or issues, ideas haven't been roughed out properly, or they're obvious copies of something else. 100% recommend this game to anyone, you can tell the people who made it enjoy making games - it really shows.

My dad downloaded on his Xbox game pass and I must say… this game is being coma’d on. It’s soo good, and I have barely scratched the surface. I have about 8 hours in but this is what I have found: Refined combat experience from the first makes everything feel, flow, and easy to use all simultaneously. You lock on, click, and flick away The level design has improved. From the first Game, the levels and environments you used to explore in that ps2 game feel contained. While they did the most they had, you can tell they were limited by technology alone… this however is what I feel is Psychonauts 2 biggest strength: the scope. You don’t understand how big and how much of a game you have until you start loading the area and then you realize you have maps, ya know with an S, verticality, a massive lack of invisible walls making it a guided free roam experience just like the first. I have visited only 3 brains and they all feel exclusive from each other. 1 mind can feel almost completely different from itself which is amazing in its own right but when you experience the PTSD ridden brain of Ford Cruller, you begin to realize just how creative the game is and how masterful it crafted its storytelling experiences… this is all without talking about perhaps the strongest part of the first and 2nd game: Dialogue + characters+ story The story has some crazy twist and turns, but the dialogue will make you love this game if you pay attention to what’s going on. Like Oleanders explosive Diarrhea causing massive amounts of damage to the Jets lavatory… Raz thinking his mom and dads “Quality alone time” is the name of a drink… or my favorite so far: Oleander straight up dropping The acronym : Fubar( Fucked up beyond all Repair!) in a E for everyone. It’s both grown up , childish and often bust the 4th wall. You can tell some of the lines were off script but kept cause it was just too damn funny.

Kind of surprised you made no mention of the TK ball, and how limited it was, compared to the first game. If it was mentioned, and I missed it, apologies

I just finished the game last night, and all I can say is this….I am sooo glad I preordered this. I was a fan of the original and I am very pleased with this game. The story is great and funny, the controller layout I had to get use to due to some Changes (but that wasn’t hard), and the Replayability is just as good as the original. 5 out of 5. I hope they make a 3rd game showing us how they go from Juniors to full fledged agents.
