    Pure entertainment, joyous creative fun. Is it flawless? No. But you won’t find a more consistently delightful experience on the market this year.

    Seems, the game is getting review bombed by salty Sony fanboys, and a concerted campaign of Russian Bots due to a lack of Russian language in the game... Don't believe me, just check out the previous reviews of most of the '0' pointers, they either don't have any prior reviews or have a ton of prior PS reviews... spooky eh!?

    It'd be laughable if it weren't just so sad... I'll even predict that this 'review' will be downvoted as unhelpful by the same sad sacks!

    Anyway, the game itself... quite simply it's very enjoyable, and a light-hearted take on dealing with some serious issues like mental health problems.

    The graphics are simply fine technically speaking, running flawlessly at native 4K@60Hz on my Series X, and a silky smooth 1440p@120Hz. Though, I can understand that some people may not be all that keen on the colourful "Tim Burton-esque" like cartoony graphical art style.

    Best thing though... it didn't cost me a penny outside of my Gamepass subscription... Bargain! :)    … Expand

    Gran juego con un arte y estilo peculiar, Tim Schafer vuelve a lo grande con esta gran aventura llena de retos, humor negro y diversión a raudales. Estamos ante uno de los grandes tapados del año y que no hace más que darle la razón a Microsoft con el acierto de comprar Double Fine.

    I went into the game with pretty low expectations. I don’t usually like platformers and even R&C: Rift Apart did very little for me despite its critical acclaim. I have to say though, this game is brilliantly written, with quirky characters and fun gameplay. The only thing I can say against it, is that it is too short. Hopefully Microsoft really invest in the franchise after this becauseI went into the game with pretty low expectations.

    But what elevates P2 above any game like this I've ever played are the characters, writing, locations and just the bat **** craziness of it all. It never feels like it's trying to be funny or zany either, it's just a crazy mix of almost Monty Python like dry humour and creepy yet charming Tim Burton horror. Absolutely loved it.    … Expand

    This game recaptures the vibe of the first with its cartoony graphics and its beautiful art style. Playing this game reminds me of an old-school 3d adventure game in a great way. Throughout my playthrough, I was fond of every level and the uniqueness that they brought.

    Story:

    The writing is the best part of this game. With brilliant references, humor, and its careful handling of mental topics, Psychonauts 2 solidifies itself as one of Double Fine's best in their history.

    I would definitely recommend this for anyone to play. Psychonauts 2 is one of my personal surprise goty contenders for 2021.    … Expand

    I don't even know where to start, because when I launched Psychonauts 2 16 years after the first part (a month before the release of the second part, I re-ran the first part), then everything was confused in me.

    At first there was joy, I was happy to see all these magnificent characters, after so much time, although only a few days passed in the very plot of the game)) And then sadness    I don't even know where to start, because when I launched Psychonauts 2 16 years after the first part (a month before the release of the second part, I re-ran the first part), then everything was confused in me.

    At first there was joy, I was happy to see all these magnificent characters, after so much time, although only a few days passed in the very plot of the game))

    And then sadness and sadness came from the realization that we would not see such an author's game for another 15 years, because even the first psychonauts at one time stood out, despite the fact that there were more courageous people in the industry who were not afraid to experiment and give free rein to their Fantasies ...

    I have already completely played the game for all 1000Gs, and I will say that if the first Psychonauts are Terminator 1, then Psychonauts 2 is Terminator 2, so this game came out cool. I sincerely want to thank Tim Schaefer and the entire Double Fine Team, this is truly their best game, and I also thank the entire XBOX team with Phil Spencer for supporting financially such a niche project. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart !!! Now I am waiting for the second part of Brutal Legend, I hope the Xbox Team and Double Fine will hear their loyal fans.

    PS. I myself am from Russia and I want to apologize for those people who underestimate this great game due to the lack of the Russian language, please forgive us, not all players from Russia are so aggressive, and there are people here who really love Double Fine games and grew up on them    … Expand

    Simply amazing! This game makes me feel like I have 10 years old again, playing the PS2 Golden Era games. It's funny, beautiful, massive and entertaining. For sure I'll be playing it again.

    Absolutely great game. It is hard to believe, but it is even better than the first game. Have the same awesome feeling like 20+ years ago, when was playing timeless Lucas Arts adventure games.

    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.
