    Hacía tiempo que un juego no me enamoraba. Lo estoy pasando genial, amo su arte y narrativa, es un derroche de sensaciones (todas muy buenas).

    Es un juego que no aporta gran cosa, estamos en 2021, con esos gráficos facilmente pudo haber salido en el primer xbox, juéguenlo en gamepass gratis, desaconsejo su compra.

    Uma das melhores experiências de um jogo Plataforma 3D de todos os tempos. Psychonauts 2 é maravilhoso em tudo ao que remete jogabilidade, level designe, trilha sonora, ambientação e diversão principalmente. Uma sequela digna de Pasychonauts e que se tornou ainda melhor após a aquisição da Xbox Games Studios.

    Boring, empty game. Graphics look outdated and lazy even if it's art style. Game full of generic quests that are weake I swear Everything feels kind of generic in this game. Quests, characters, everything is so bland Meh Hard pass.

    This game is absolutely amazing. 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 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

    It's Just the best game of the year until nós for me. Along side "It takes two" and "Ratchet and Clank", it's a really good exemplar of modern plataformers done right. It has a few rough edges, but it's simple not enough to takes a way the Fun and the masterclass of good level design.

    I Rate it 8.7.The creativity is refreshing and keepet me motivated throughout. Some of the mechanics and story transitions are a little unpolished in areas. No major issues, but occasionally I was pulled away from the magic the game casts wondering "why did that just happen?". I love what was created and I think this game will inspire more creativity in future games.

    Lo jugué 2 horas y con eso bastó para aburrirme, me gustó solo el arte, pero de ahí en fuera, solo es buen juego para los "fans" del 1ro. Si no eres seguidor del 1ro no intentes jugarlo. Vengo de jugar Returnal y el de It takes two q tienen más reto y me tope con este juego q es semi lento... Aburrido

    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.
