    Se desenvolverem um nivo Conker ou Banjo, tem que ser nesse ritmo, Psychonauts 2 se mostra o melhor no seu gênero, boa jogabilidade, gráficos e uma boa narrativa com alívio cômico, um dos melhores jogos desse ano sem sombra de duvida, a double fine mais uma vez surpreendendo com um do seus títulos consagrados

    Giving a whole game a 0 because they don't speak Russian is literally the same as hating the entire planet because everyone doesn't speak Russian yet.

Excuse me for being a hypocritical English speaker, but you know the planet isn't obliged to serve you specifically, right? Like... just because you heard of something doesn't mean it must automatically be catered to you. It would make more sense to complain about lack of translated subtitles. Complaining about lack of dubs is some serious weeb ish.

    This game was made in the U.S.
    It only has one language; The dominant language in the U.S. (and the world)
    Plenty of MAJOR games don't have alternate languages, yet an independent studio must be held to higher standards?

    To phrase it as RUSSIAN being the only language requirement to raise the rating means you don't even care about other languages;
    What about Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Bengali? These languages are all more popular than Russian. Why are specifically Russians bombing this review?

    Also, nobody cares about your console war. Please mature past middle school.

    Being a sequel that's coming over 15 years later, I had little hope. But after having played it, I can say I am truly in awe. The writing is even more refined, it's dark, witty, and has an extra layer of depth we hardly see in gaming ever. It's truly a masterpiece and a very worthy successor to the original game.

    Probably the best game to come out so far this year, a breath of fresh air

The world is vibrant and alive with so much to do and explore with great music and adventure. It has an extremely unique level design and really takes advantage of the 'going into other's minds' concept that worked so well in the first game. The characters are extremely unique and interesting and have that awesome Tim Schafer quirk and amazing comedy. The combat has been smoothed out and is actually challenging compared to the original where you can't just melee stun the enemies in one chain. It forces you to be diverse with your arsenal and use all of your powers, something the first game didn't try as much. This, along with all the new enemies, infinitely improves the combat. Along with that, there is just so much to do and explore. You have all these collectibles, a fun upgrade system, and an interesting story. The art style is amazing and Psychonauts 2 is an improvement of every single core concept from the first game that made it so good in the first place. It is breathtaking and relieving to get a sequel that is just... Better, in every single way, compared to the original which was already amazing. I have no idea what the other reviews are talking about and why they are review-bombing it for no reason. This doesn't feel like an old game at all and I think many of the reviews are people so extremely upset the game wasn't localized to every single language in the world that they give it a 0/10. Ignore those reviews, this game is an absolutely wonderous masterpiece and is one of the best games I've played. By far it is the Game of the Year for me. Period. Expand

    Taking into consideration the first couple of hours of gameplay, where I’ve savoured every moment, this has got to be my favourite game of 2021.

    Very familiar for those who played the original, but more slick and less rage inducing. A joy to play! It has the humour of classic Lucasarts games like Secret of Monkey Island with the gameplay of Zool (another classic) in 3D unreal engine.

    This game looks like a Hollywood mega-production. An incredible and surprising story with excellent game-play and fantastic worlds full of colours and magic. This game is a true gem, an experience no one must lose

    hoo boy these sony fanboys are real salty

    in an industry that became soulless and creatively bankrupt Psychonauts 2 stands out as a beacon of light there is so much to unpack but il keep this short and simple, one of the earlier levels of the game is a Casino/Hospital hybrid that takes place in a rubik's cube this is just one of many incredible levels this type of creativity is pretty

    in an industry that became soulless and creatively bankrupt Psychonauts 2 stands out as a beacon of light there is so much to unpack but il keep this short and simple, one of the earlier levels of the game is a Casino/Hospital hybrid that takes place in a rubik's cube this is just one of many incredible levels this type of creativity is pretty much nonexistent in most Triple A games.

    Also the writing is top tier which is what you can expect from a tim schafer game from likeable characters, cleaver dialogue, well animated cutscenes and humor, but the biggest surprise for me was how the game tackles mental health and empathy which is kind off incredible to see in a game like this especially in a genre that isnt known for story telling.

    People have been waiting for Psychonauts 2 for 16 years and its almost impossible for it to live up to the expectations but the end product not only exceeds these expectations but even defies it in the best way possible.

    Great game. The controls are good, and the psychedelic story telling is amazing. The art style reminds me of something out of a Tim Burton movie.
    Best platform game of the last decade. smart, great graphics and gameplay! You need to play this!

    This game is so much fun. And funny too. I was afraid the artstyle would be an issue but I actually love it. It’s charming. Can’t wait to see if they make a third one.

    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.
