Psychonauts was always one of those games I was meaning to play ever since it came out. I’ve played most of the double fine titles but I started it and it didn’t instantly click so I put it down and never got back to it. The second one came out and I thought alright time to go for it. Wow! What a debut from double fine! Clever and fun mechanics, well defined characters, engaging story and actually laugh out loud moments! If you have kids the game dialogue is snappy like a Pixar movie. I made it to the tower and just can’t wait to see what happens next. There are a few small things like camera angles or controls that can be a little frustrating after all it’s almost a 20 year old game but if do yourself a favor and grab it for $2 on steam or Xbox store right now if you think you might like it. I’ve already got #2 in the queue.
The first Psychonauts was an absolute gem, and the sequel is amazing! Both are definite must-play games in my opinion.
Amazing game. Have you played the sequel yet? It may even be better than the first.
Playing through it right now… really enjoying it! The hub tests my patience at times but the story and level designs have been fun :)
