    Psychonauts 2 is just a work of love, the characters, the music, the gameplay and story and dead on. I really liked the first game but this one surpassed every expectation that I had. Buy this game and play it non stop, explore and see what it is all about :D

    Simply fantastic. I just created an account in metacritic to leave my first feedback on the internet about a game because I feel this one deserves it. Art style, story, gameplay. The only aspect I feel could be improved is skill progression, which is a bit too simple... but for the rest, excelent.

    Such creativity that is rarely seen, not only in sequels but games in general these days. The art is still so pleasing and differently the eyes, with the smart writing and heart this studio always brings to each project.

Every level has a different vibe /style to it. I give it an 9/10 just for the artistry. I thought the story was great but not great enough for me to give it a 10/10. The level where you have to find the bands gear is by far my favorite part of the game. The colors and just the overall design was absolutely beautiful! Expand

    Dal punto di vista della "nuova generazione" credo che questo titolo poteva girare anche su PS3 e lo stile grafico non mi ha fatto impazzire. Nel senso, è sicuramente caratterizzante ma avrei preferito una conta poligonale maggiore. Nel complesso è un ottimo platform come non se vedevano da un po'.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of the original Psychonauts i gotta say this hits all the cords of the original game.
    Levels: the levels are improved with both design and crazy gravity, reality and mind bending aspects. the levels are easily the best part of the game the mind bending designs and unique environmental story design makes each level a deep dive in the characters psyche in a very literal sense. you can understand how a person acts based on their levels and enemies, YES enemies are a psyche that explains their current condition and previous traumas.
    Story: it finishes the story of the two previous games tying up all the knots neatly but...
    Characters: the character in the real world are probably the worst part of this game, the interactions you have with them are limited to some dialog and mission critical dialog the new kids are introduced as a powerful force to be reckoned with but they are sidelined for a majority of the game which is disappointing. the mentors are basically non existent until needed which is a big downgrade from the big mystery in the first game that included them.

    One of the most amazing games I played recently, it reminded me of the old good days of PS1 and PS2 innovative and really fun games. the story is very interesting and engaging, the gameplay is very joyful with a lot to explore. there's a lot of diversity in everything and the developers did a great job with the smallest details.

    I'm only giving it 8 because of the unnecessary inclusion

    Microsoft saved this game, it was never going to succeed as a kickstarter funded project. Microsoft's management of the games budget bodes well for future msft releases (fable 4, TES VI).
    Psychonauts 2 is a throwback to Banjo Kazooie era platforming, webbed with not so subtle, yet palatable commentary on common mental health conditions, while remaining fun.

    En fin gran juego dudo que sea goty mi nota es de 8.5 no le doy un 9.0 porque hace poco jugue crash bandicoot 4 y es un juego a nivel de mecanicas muy parecido si no lo hubiera jugado seria un 9.0 felicidades al estudio ya quiero ver un nuevo trailer de su 3 entrega

    The soundtrack is awesome, it adds an excellent dynamic to the game. It portraits well the game atmosphere - naïve, nostalgic and absolutely magical.
    The only major problem that I can see is how inconsistent the graphic is. The locations are beautiful, very cartoony, nice to look at. However, the textures on the characters, especially on their faces are still very off. I know that it was meant to resemble an old-school game, but they look odd comparing to all the rest. Pixelated and just not polished.
    Overall, it's a decent piece of entertainment. A big plus for being able to enjoy the game after completing the main quest - it gives you a good few more hours of gameplay and lets you complete all the side tasks.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a very fun puzzle mechanic, but sometimes it becomes very tedious when these puzzles are repeated over and over again, in the colorful mental world (I forgot the name) the puzzles become very repetitive because we need to look for one over and over again. big lighting to create the rainbow bridges, and the boss is also a little cloying, because he appears several times, only in the end you face him, making it something predictable and annoying. But apart from that, the game is a lot of fun, the powers are diverse and with an interesting upgrade system, the side missions revolve around collectibles that, in many cases, to get them, you need to level up and with that generates more additional hours game, but I never liked side missions and that's why my focus in games has always been to beat the main campaign, my gamertag if you want proof: guzart604 Expand

    I am not giving 10 because it doesn’t have a perfect music as good as the visual art and game.

    The most creative game I’ve played in the last decade.

    Psychonauts 2 delivers a great story with well written characters and smart dialogue and themes, albeit a bit of a slow burner with some levels and mechanics that hit and some that miss.

    I played on Series X and the game ran and looked great and I imagine the game would play and look even better on an OLED with 120hz capability(which I do not own). The Good: -Great story full of

    I had never heard of the Psychonaughts games before trying this one on Gamepass and I wasn't disappointed. The platforming elements brought me back to my childhood and the story was far better than any platformer that I have ever played. Boss battles were great.

    What a game this is, I am a casual player and this game just absorbed my attention for a few weeks, to be honest I even felt a bit empty when the game was over. You should definitely try it, you won’t be disappointed !

    Me encantó, no jugué al primero y me sorprendió este juego. Lo tiene todo, historia, personajes, ambientación, duración, orginalidad.... esperando la tercera parte o remake del primero.

    One of the best 3D platformers. I highly recommend playing Psychonauts 2. Huge improvements from the original.

    I played the original Psychonauts quite a long time ago. Earlier this month, I got an Xbox Series S (my first Xbox console) and a Game Pass subscription. Had no idea which games were on it, but I got really happy when I saw Psychonauts 2.

    De las mejores historias que puedes encontrar, fluido y con sensación de control extraordinaria. Visualmente grandioso, la música es pura magia, con piezas que interpreta el mismísimo Jack Black. Una joya pura y totalmente recomendable.

    Psychonauts 2 is a superb sequel that appeals to both long-time fans and newcomers. With a engaging story full of twists and turns, excellent witty dialogue, and a gorgeous visual palette, exploring people's minds has never been so fun and thrilling.

    Psychonauts 2 managed to restore my faith in the genre of 3D platformers. This is a creative volcano spewing ideas left and right - it can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can make you think. And it will definitely make you have fun.

    Psychonauts 1 is the perfect example of the term cult classic, and Psychonauts 2 has created another masterpiece that I am only assuming won’t receive the attention it deserves. They have perfected and expanded on their original idea in every way and created a world full of heart and fun. It’s been well documented that the last few years it took to bake were used to expand the boss battles, and finely polish the areas that were complete. It’s clear that the added funds from being a Microsoft studio were put to good use and the team at Double Fine should be very proud of what they have created. I cannot wait to see what they create next.
