    Es muy divertido, me hace sentir como cuando era un niño jugando videos juegos. Sientes que hay un montón de cosas por hacer pero sin sentirte abrumado. Además la historia hace que le cojas cariño a Raz. Lo jugué en Gamepass pero estoy pensando en comprarlo, se lo merece.

    Sad to see the review bombing from Playstation fanboys that are just upset the game doesn't have a native PS5 version.

    Psychonauts 2 is 100% a GOTY contender, I've played 8 hours so far and every level is very creative, unique, introduces new mechanics and is just a lot of fun. The characters are endearing and funny, its well written and smart. If you enjoy 3D Platforming collectathons

    Ich war mir nicht sicher, ob ich dem Spiel eine 9/10 oder eine 10/10 geben soll?! Ich habe mich für die 10/10 entschieden, weil der Mut für so ein "spezielles" Game belohnt werden muss. Ich habe so viel Spaß mit dem Game, dass ich es einfach mit 10/10 bewerten MUSS:

    Gameplay: 9/10 Story: 10/10 Humor: 10/10 Art-Design: 10/10 Sprecher: 10/10 Liebe: 10/10 Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt

    Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt gibt es dennoch, fließt aber nicht in die Bewertung ein, da es per Crowdfunding finanziert wurden ist.
    - Es gibt keine deutsche Synchro. Vllt. für den nächstes Teil, wenn MS mehr finanzielle Mittel zur Verfügung stellt.

    Wer den Game Pass besitzt, MUSS es unbedingt spielen. Großartig!

From the mystery of Maligula to the story behind Raz everything about the game is just amazing. The art style is one of the reasons this game is Soo unique.

This needs to be a GOTY contender!! This game doesn’t need haptics or adaptive triggers and it’s not locked behind a console pay wall. The accessibility of this game is for everyone…… and everyone should play it. The writing from Tim Schafer is as good as ever. I also read some of the reviews criticising the old school level design….. and that’s what I’m enjoying the most. Some of the greatest platform games are basic in their design but are some of the best games ever made. I’m playing this on XSX and Game Pass but I will be supporting the studio when I buy the physical PS4 version. I’m amazed that a small independent studio with a budget of 3 million are achieving gameplay mechanics that some people say can only be done on the fastest SSDs….. Psychonauts 2 is one of the best games of the year so far!! Expand

Now, to why this game has such a low rating - the answer's simple, 90% of negative reviews are either sony butthurts that review bombed the game for absolutely no reason(it's not even Microsoft developing it - it's Double Fine, which did not deserve horrible ratings), or people that think Russian is the most important language even if you don't have the budget to make one(microsoft did not give one), and also they're crying it was released in russia, which it was not as there was no physical release, it's just a global release. Anyway, ignore the low rating, assume the lower it is, the more sony butthurts are crying about the fact xbox has a better game ;) Expand

    This game is amazing, a perfect sequel to the first Psychonauts, if you're a fan of the first game I guarantee you'll love this one too and even if you haven't played the first game they give you a quick run through of what happened so its perfectly fine if this is you're first time playing Psychonauts

    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.
