    Uma boa surpresa, um bom jogo que tem muito para crescer ainda, espero que tenha uma continuação e o Xbox invista mais no estúdio produtor do jogo.

    Such a great experience. One of my favorite games ever, honestly. I have no idea how this is a measly 6.3 user score. Assuming it's some type of review bombing because this is a top-tier game in almost every aspect. The game plays fantastically, the voice acting is a joy to listen to, and the graphics & art style are some of the best available currently in terms of creativity and fun.

    The most creative and imaginative game you will probably ever play. The art and design is incredible. This is the kind of game that gives video games a good name, and the type of game that shows how great games can be, as an industry. It was a little frustrating with the platforming at times however, and the story is a little bit silly, as are most of the child characters, besides Raz, butThe most creative and imaginative game you will probably ever 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.

    I LOVED this game. My GOTY…which was not easy to decide this year. Fantastic art direction, gameplay and a terrific story to boot, Psychonauts 2 was just incredible.

    juegazo, divertido y entretenido, me gustan las expresiones y las voces de los personajes y como se desenvuelven y encajan en la historia psicodélica. los mundos cambiantes y enemigos diversos hacen de la experiencia constantemente diversa y divertida

    Aside from the rantings from Russian players, the gameplay and story is by far an improvement for a sequel.

    Masterpiece! The only bad side of this game is that it makes other games feel dull. Compare this much creativity and color and fun with other titles which are repetitive and similar to each other... It is a very rare thing for me that I even would consider paying the full price for a vifeo game. Though I played it on game pass... The team that made this game should make more games please!!Masterpiece! The only bad side of this game is that it makes other games feel dull.

    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

    Solo los Sonyers ardidos califican mal este juegazo, este es mucho mejor y mayor duración que el R&C:RA que según goty y goty cuando solamente lo vi como un nuevo plataformas con Shooter en tercera persona...

    One of the best platformers I have played, excellent level design and very fun gameplay, it also has the perfect duration because I do not know that it is short as that of 6 hours.

    Que jogo incrível, criativo. Ele tem desenhos diferentes onde você usa os poderes de acordo com cada "mente". Eu julguei mau, inicialmente e resolvi dar uma chance. É um jogo que com certeza irei revisitar.

    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.

    As a close friend of mine texted me, it’s like a playable Tim Burton movie. Its imaginative reach leaves most other lighthearted adventure games far behind.

    Sixteen years after the first game and no less than six years after the announcement that there would be a sequel, Psychonauts 2 is finally on the market. But is it worth the long wait? We're not going to beat about the bush. The answer is yes.
