    Briliant game. Noble follower to a cult classic from 2005. Technically superb. Not for Russians.

    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

    Lol a gamepass game just beat Racthet and Clank by a country mile.

    Easily the most original platformer in the past decade.

    Juegazo imprescindible, muy por encima de la media en cuanto a diseño, madurez, narrativa y originalidad, rebosante de ese humor sarcástico que Double Fine maneja a la perfección. Juégalo.

    Simply stunning, Double Fine has done an incredible job in bringing this beloved game back to life. The humour is brilliant and very mature but it will go directly over the little ones heads.

    What a game! I kept seeing this game being mentioned online so i downloaded it off gamepass to try out. Am I ever glad I did. The game is amazing, It really should be a "must-play" here on metacritic.

    It keeps getting better the further you get. The world design is so creative and unique. The levels where you go inside other peoples brains are so fun, cool, and interesting. I can't

I can't recommend it enough. Cheat and use YouTube walkthroughs if you get stuck, it's definitely worth playing until the end.

    Amazing game, innovative levels, great story. Everything Psychonauts 2 sought to achieve it did. With a story that connected well the the first and paid off a few things from there while also expanding the world in great ways. The game hits hard when it wants to and has a good message at the end of the day.

    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.

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.

    Omg this game is gem I've been needing. I love platforming games like this. It's definitely an upgrade and plays perfectly on the series x. The puzzles, the problem solving and the funny refreshing are also a key factor of why this game is awesome.

    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.
