    This game gives you headache because of how bad it is.and gets repetitive so fast. Just worth a try on game pass

    Not a bad game by any means but it's for those who care more for the art and story telling than the ones who seek quality gameplay and solid game mechanics, I don't like neglecting either and this game started feeling like a chore pretty fast...

    Some really good ideas, mostly esthetically. Game design feels inspired, but also kind of outdated. Everyone praised the writing, I think it's just ok.

    Sadly there appears to be weird review bombing on here. Honestly, everything and more I could have hoped for in a sequel. Same sort of idea but on a larger level. The platforming and combat are way tighter and more evolved. For anyone looking for a great controlling, super quirky, collectathon platformer with a lot of combat it's great.

    Great gameplay, creative and often laugh out loud funny. Transcends the platform genre.

    Add Russian subtitles, please. Generally add more subtitle options to the game for more languages.
    Currently the best game of the year. Very creative, interesting and in it each level is done differently.

    This game is incredible and I didn't unerstand all the negative reviews. Looking at the list I see a LOT of people review bombing because there's no Russian. Didn't realize Russia felt so strongly about Raz and co. Was the original game in Russian? Have they said anything about patching it in later? Sorry I know nothing about localizations, I just like the game.

    While mechanically this is an improvement on Psychonauts in almost everyway, instead of getting rid of the things that didn't work well in the original it ports them over as well. There is some good humor and world building sprinkled throughout the game but the good parts are few and far between. The story is good in the sense that it brings the loose ends from the first game and ties themWhile mechanically this is an improvement on Psychonauts in almost everyway, instead of getting rid of the things that didn't work well in the original it ports them over as well. There is some good humor and world building sprinkled throughout the game but the good parts are few and far between. The story is good in the sense that it brings the loose ends from the first game and ties them up but nothing about the story or the characters is as fun or interesting as in the first game. It's been several decades since the release of the first Psychonauts game but I can still remember nearly every world and character and how interesting everything was. It's been a few days since I played Psychonauts 2 last and while I can dredge up memories of the characters and some of the levels I would be hard pressed to say who those characters actually are and what about that particular world was fun and interesting. Tim and Double Fine have shown that they know their way around modern game engines and that they can still make a AAA game. It's just a shame that they can't make it as interesting as they used to.… Expand

    One of the best games I've played for the last couple of years!
    Lot of fun, visual design, characters, story - it has it all. And TONS of adult jokes masked for innocent phrases - so kids won't get them :)

    It's amazing, everything you expect from DoubleFine and more. The best art style, writing and music in the business, along with clever puzzles and just enough platforming to raise the stakes and provide a challenge.

    This is the first game in years that I've stopped to soak in all the details and WANT to hear every line of dialogue.

    Game is pretty fun ngl it's my first of the franchise and I'm liking it a lot. I'll never understand how people can not like this game. Top 3 best platformers in recent years.

    El combate es bastante divertido, el estilo artístico es increíble y el diseño de niveles es fantástico. Seguro que es uno de mis juegos favoritos de este año.

    The best game series I ever played. Great humor, great characters and story. An unusual view of human mind. The gameplay is amazing and constantly brings something new. I will definitely go play it again and again.

    A perfect followup from the Doublefine team. The first time in ages I've desperately hoped for a DLC announcement, so I can shovel more of this series into my brain.

    Most of the features of the first part have been added and improved. The developers care a lot about the fans of the game, so they kept the voice acting familiar to us from the first part!

    Absolutely delivered as a follow-up to the first one with 15 years worth of nostalgia and inflated expectations. Some of the most endearing character writing in a game I’ve experienced. I dream of a remake of the first game with this gameplay and graphical fidelity.

    This game is an almost perfect platform game.
    It's fun to play and has a really cool gameplay and story.
    I just wish for a better ending and an actual post game secrets to discover.
    But, overall, it's still worth it

    Achei o jogo legal, bons gráficos, criativo, feito com o coração, não com o bolso, infelizmente o pessoal mais caixista não tratou o jogo como um Indie, e sim como um exclusivo de peso do Xbox, o que não era a proposta do jogo

Half of them are about the game not being translated in Russian and the other half you can check for yourself.

    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]
