    LoL this game is apparently so bad that the same 'people' forced themselves to play the game on XBox One, PS4, PC and XBox Series X¦S so that they could review bomb it with scores of 0 or 1 on every platform... even if they couldn't understand the languages. We should all give thanks for the selfless dedication of these individuals.

    Пожалуйста, не занижайте оценки за отсутствие русского языка. Игра великолепная, ничуть не хуже первой части, даже наоборот. Играть с английскими субтитрами вполне возможно.

    Fantastic game. It does almost everything the first game does but better. I did miss a milkman-ish or boardgame type level, but the game offers other things that compensates. 10/10 best game I have played this year, and an instant classic.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. Full of charm and creativity, something I've been missing for such a long time. Well done, Double Fine!

    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.

    I'd recommend playing (or watching if you don't have VR) The Rhombus of Ruin for backstory and of course the first game if you missed it.
    Psychonauts 2 isn't perfect, I'd give it a 9 but I'm rating it 10 to counter the ridiculous Russian review bombing. It's my native language too and I'm not complaining that a Russian translation isn't available now. The original Psychonauts had one but AFAIK they never promised it for the sequel. Hopefully they'll add it (fan projects are on the way) but I don't think the attitude I'm seeing in some of the user reviews will help.    … Expand

    I was waiting for the sequel for a 15 years and it was worth it — It's a very fun game in dialogues and gameplay as well.

    A fun platforming adventure filled with creative worlds, and memorable characters. This is the sequel we've been waiting for. Ignore the not well thought out 1 review ratings. Welcome back Raz.

    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 :)

    This is my GOTY so far. It's by far the best platformer I ever played. It's extremely creative, it has a perfect story, lovable characters, fantastic gameplay.

    I really wanted to love this, but I can't play it.
    Mouse controls are deeply flawed. They're not 1:1 - what I mean is, they have a certain sensitivity when you're moving the mouse in an angle in front of Raz, but if you move more the sensitivity gradually decrease and you need a bigger movement (ie doing a 360°).

    A delicious journey through the human mind, with mechanics that alone are fun, but together they are simply fantastic.
    a game that makes it clear once and for all that video games are a magnificent art form.

    It's a cool game but it doesn't fit in the gaming industry currently. We need more games like fortnite and cod.

But Psychonauts 2 is to platformers what WoW was to RPGs... a whole universe better! It's a bit short of an open-world MMO/RPG, but the writing and art are outstanding. You can turn combat damage down or off and just enjoy the jumping puzzles and the story line. Every part of this story has its own unique style and challenges. Don't miss it!… Expand

    Awesome game! I don’t understand what people are talking about with too many cutscenes. It’s not an FPS, it’s a 3D platform adventure. Once you’re past the first couple levels, there’s a lot to explore.

    10 points, because it is an excellent game and there are more than 100 languages on the world. if you want to protest the missing localisation of a game, you can buy other games instead of that game. But downvoting a game, which you didn't play or which you liked is a behaviour to shame. it is a small studio and they didnt hide the available languages before the game released. for me, it10 points, because it is an excellent game and there are more than 100 languages on the world. if you want to protest the missing localisation of a game, you can buy other games instead of that game.

    Fantastic 3D platformer adventure ! the art style is really unique and imaginative, the gameplay and level design are amazingn the collectibles, secrets, all that is a call back to the old school era of Platformers, and is really funny, characters are likable and each of them has its own personality. Raz especially is a really likable character

    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]
