    Где Русский язык? 3 язык в стиме. Полное не уважение игроков и аудитории.

    I put 1 simply because there is no Russian language. I am not asking for localization, at least they would give subtitles. This contradicts Phil's words about "game accessibility."In the world, Russian is spoken by 300 million people, and I consider this disrespect for my audience. When they add subtitles I will change the grade

    Отсутствие русского языка при издателе microsoft - это огромный плевок в сторону фанатов.

    I love this game, but it does not even have sutiters for my language (Russian), I’m bad in English, but I love this series very much, I put 0 and promise to remove it when the Russian language appears in the game and it’s better with voice acting, but knowing foreign developers, it’s not true.

    Overrated trash oriented mostly for 12 year old kids in mind. I can't understand how this clunky and cartoony piece of trash is getting praised by professional reviews like it's a next gen game their reviews are very suspicious. This game should have been released back in 2008 maybe at that time this would be considered as a decent title but for a 2021 title it's a HUGE NO from graphics toOverrated trash oriented mostly for 12 year old kids in mind.

    Boring and generic. If your one of the majority that played the first game and was baffled as to why the game was getting high scores, you will get de ja vu from this sequel.

    Juego aburrido y sin sentido. Parece un juego de PS2, con gráficos pobres y físicas mediocres.

    Han intentado hacer un juego para pelear contra Ratchet and clank Rift Apart y lo que han hecho no le llega a Ratchet ni a la suela de los zapatos en ningún aspecto. Juego lamentable.

    Ungodly amount of unnecessary, uneventful and disruptive cutscenes. Making the game flow terrible and insufferable. Wasted potential, shame.

    Outdated graphics, the control is just ok, boring generally.
    I like platform games but this one no...

    If it was only the puzzle "brain" sections of the game, this review would be 10/10. As it is, the bones of the game are extremely strong, but the sinews leave a bit to be desired.

If you think of think of the open world between puzzles are a map screen, it's okay I guess, but a little more work than is necessary to get around. There are also collectables shoehorned in which the game really wouldn't suffer without, but this is pretty common for anything within the last 15 years. All in all, if you have XBox game pass on PC, it's well worth your time. If you have to buy outright, I'd wait for a modest sale. It's probably worth a good $45. That said, it's refreshing to play a platform/puzzle game with a relatively big budget on a modern machine. Of course there are plenty of small indie games in this genre. However, the top tier fare is typically some variation of fight/shoot/open world — which can get pretty old — or multiplayer — which doesn't particularly interest me as I have a full-time job and don't enjoy being pwned for 13 year-olds with lots of free time.… Expand

    Most importantly: no Russian localization (Нет русской локализации)

    This has to be the worst platforming I've experienced in over 10 years. Just sloppy, not game mechanics. Feels like a game from 3 console generations ago. I made it about 30-60 minutes in before giving up, the story seemed fun and zany.

    Сюжет тут второстепенный. Геймплей типичен для игр жанра. Графика сделана более мультяшной по сравнению с первой частью, что не очень хорошо. Повестка есть.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Low FPS on a good laptop.
    Notebook Alpha 15 4DEK
    GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5600MX
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H (with integrated GPU)
    RAM: 24GB
    OS: Windows 11 Pro x64 (21H2) № 22000.469
    At startup, it gives out 5 fps, which is already extremely stupid for this hardware (I play Cyberpunk 2077 on medium settings with stable 60 fps). When starting the game, the discrete card is activated (via MSI Afterburner, the used video memory is displayed). Has anyone encountered this problem and how to fix it?
    P.S. FPS seems to be locked at 5, I specifically set the limit to 144 in the settings.
    P.S. When starting the game, the laptop will make a short beep, I do not know what this means and whether it is related to the problem. This has never happened in any game.
    P.S. When chose start game, laptop freezes and power off.    … Expand

    If gameplay that's unremarkable at best doesn't distract you from a very original artistic & design direction that's painfully necessary in the video games business. And that makes Psychonauts 2 praiseworthy!

    Psychonauts 2 is a bizarre. It's a graphic bizarre, under the tripoid shell of which there is a surprisingly dark core, which forms a great counterweight to humor and lightening of gameplay.

    Every detail in the game shows that, despite the 17-years gap between the original game and its sequel, Raz still holds a very special place in the hearts of Tim Schafer and his team. [Issue#255, p.48]
