    Good but worse than the original and Microsoft is showing corporate greed and is not putting out a ps5 version so they can sell more Xbox. Good game from double fine, but so bummed that I can't play the ps5 version. If it had a ps5 version it would be an 8 or 9.

    Seré sincero con mi respuesta... Este juego se juega mejor en Xbox Series X|S por obvia razones... Es increíble que lo califiquen mal porque no tiene idioma ruso, primero, este juego es de Xbox Game Studios, las consolas de Xbox no se venden mucho en esos países, así que para que gastar en actores de voz y subtitulos, para que solo 200 peros as lo compren y que de esas 200, unos 175 loSeré sincero con mi respuesta...

No creo que sea muy accesible hacer eso... Además, si este juego no tiene versión de Ps5 pues ni modo, por lo menos salió en Ps4, pues Playstation arrebató por completo la IP de Spiderman de los videojuegos, no vayan a venir con qe Spiderman era un personaje de Sony desde 1999, pero entonces por qué salían juegos de Spiderman en Xbox 360 y parte de Xbox One, y ahora no salen vaya vaya... No tengo problema con eso, pero, entonces no se quejen si este Psychonauts 2 no sale con versión de Ps5...… Expand

    Young acrobat, and Psychonaut in training, Raz sets out to find out who captured their leader and becomes embroiled in a deep mystery surrounding the organization's founding and Raz's family history.

    Thanks to the original premise and quirky sense of humour, I did quite enjoy the original Psychonauts despite its flaws, unfortunately I can’t really say the same about this sequel.

There are some clever ideas to be found here, and it’s still relatively funny in places, but this this time around that wasn’t enough to make up for the mediocre platforming and combat that makes up the majority of the game.    … Expand

    Held back by some clunky controls and combat, this is a joy to play and a deserving, if somewhat less novel, successor. A truly mind-full delight. [Issue#6, p.84]

    Psychonauts 2 is a wacky adventure that shows a lot of heart, only a few minor issues become apparent.

    In this thoughtful exploration into the minds of a damaged group of powerful psychics, you may actually learn a little about yourself. Through all the goofy humor and endless puns there is something special here. Psychonauts 2 is visually stunning at times, and a little repetitive at others, but the soul in this game stands out. The developers at Double Fine Productions took good care to make something special and refreshing.
