    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

    The perfect sequel to a great game, the first games gameplay had always filled a bit clunky it still cranky in 2 but it is a big improvement and feel flexible and smooth. The story was engaging all the way through and the mind levels for ones of the best I've seen in my life level design is just amazing, big fan of the first game I can only recommend that you play this

    Great visuals, great platforming, great puzzles, great story, and great writing. But the best part of the game is the lack of a Russian language option. So much better without Russian.

    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°).

    Psychonauts 2 is a 12 an a half hour long 3D platformer and is one of the best games of the year..
    Taking place just days after the First psychonauts game, you play as Razputin, theres a moele in the psychonauts so you set out to at first, sneakily get to the bottom of this..
    I was impressed with how the game manages to not pretend like you magically forgot all of the powers you learned in the first game, you get them all almost instantly with a little hey, remember that thing you can do, that would be helpful here.. as well as introducing new abilities tht make for some interesting puzzles early on..
    And for better or for worse psychonauts 2 feels very much like a PS2 game.. there is no handholding here, The game takes place in a semi open world where you have to find a cast of charcters and enter their minds for the more linear parts of the game.. so you ve to figure out what to do with whatever the previous character told you.. no arrows, no spot marked on the map, just go find them.. but once you do and things get rolling, psychonauts 2 is a blast… now there isn’t as much variety gameplay wise as there was in the first game as you were learning new abilities, so it sticks to straight up 3d platforming with new elements here and there based on the new power, but the game still manages to feel fresh throughout, even throwing you into a cooking show for one level.. and one of my favorite moments when I knew I loved this game was going through this dark forest in search of some bees..
    Theres so much charm here, such a special game..
    My only complaing with Psychonauts 2 is the combat, it just isn’t that fun, you have so many powers but only 4 action buttons so you have to constantly remap depending on certain enemies, and I feel enemies are just so spongy for how much the game asks of you, but there are accessibility optiosn to make you invincible if youre just over a section or don’t care to deal with the annoying combat, but definitely turn this off for boss battles, because these moments are really fun and special and youll be missing out not giving them your all.
    Psychonauts 2 is a really special game full of charm and humor.
    A must play

    Psychonauts 2 shows us that it doesn't matter how long a game has been cooking, as long as it has great cooks behind it, and boy does it have just that. Tim Schafer and his team really outdid themselves, making a sequel to a sixteen-year-old game that not only matches the quality of it, but outshines it.

    Me ha parecido un juego que mezcla muchas cosas bien. Es entretenido, cambiante en cada mundo, desafiante a veces, relajante otras. Te hace pensar en aquellos problemas mentales que enfoca. Y luego la historia está bastante bien. Saca algunas risas. Me ha hecho recordar a como me sentía jugando al Medievil. Lo he jugado en Xbox Series S y los tiempos de carga de 3 segundos.

    Double Fine did a great job at recreating the spirit of the original Psychonauts. Playing the sequel, I felt like I travelled to the past to spend some time with my favorite childhood game once again. Imprecise controls are a less welcome throwback to 2005, but fiercely intelligent humor, brilliant writing and tons of unconventional ideas make it easy to turn a blind eye to this and some other flaws.
