    There are very few games that feelt so unique for me the way Psychonauts 2 did. Great in almost every sense, a true reminder of why platform games were the most loved ones in the past. Definetly worth playing.

    Really enjoyed this - Amazing art and design, and a satisfying conclusion. Taking a couple points off for some rough transitions between scenes, somewhat lacking overworld content, and dullish combat.. Appreciated the 'god mode' toggle since I got bored with combat.

Psychonauts 2 es un muy buen juego cada mundo está muy bien echo detallado lleno de coleccionables su gameplay es muy entretenido sus escenarios o mundos son rejugables sus jefes son memorables su historia es entretenida y te atrapa de principio a fin lo que menos me gustó fue su jefe final ya que no aplicó todo lo que aprendimos en todo el juego pero su diseño eso sí está bien logrado al igual que todos los enemigos "Recomendado"… Expand

    Finally, after so many years! Great story, cool gameplay, sick level design! And it is in Game Pass!

    Absolutely delivered as a follow-up to the first one with 15 years worth of nostalgia and inflated expectations. Some of the most endearing character writing in a game I’ve experienced. I dream of a remake of the first game with this gameplay and graphical fidelity.

    Great follow up to the original game and story. Improved on the little things from game 1 that were frustrating and made it better than I thought they could. A must play.

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

    La historia atrapa e invita a querer avanzar siempre un poco más. La variedad de escenarios y sus diseños son increíbles,la mayoría brillan por su gran originalidad. La duración es adecuada. Es sin duda la sorpresa del año,un auténtico soplo de aire fresco. Altamente recomendable.

    Really great game. A lot more mature than what I was expecting from the art style, but overall psychonaughts 2 is a treat, especially on series x at 4K 60fps. The game takes a bit of time to get started, but once the hub area opens, the exploration and Self discovery is quite impressive.

    It’s not a mere platform game, since the game mechanics adhere to the narrative - you link thoughts, you kill mental “issues”, etc - and you have an emotional connection to the characters, which aren’t there as a fill up but to add more to the experience.

At a first look the graphics may be “simple”, but they’re actually stunning and also serve a purpose within the narrative, without dropping the ball on gorgeous reflections, textures and lighting. The “powers” are also diversified and very well thought, and you feel satisfaction without the typical gunplay shooting of so many platform games. Don’t miss this game and just have fun with it!… Expand

    Great game, with a lot of amusingly weird levels (the "sixties one" comes to mind, as well as the "theme park ride"), and also a great soundtrack to accompany it all.
    Only minor negative I could mention is that towards to end it begins to get a little bit repetitive, but that is just about it.

    Wonderful, clever, heartfelt writing. Fun, appealing, art style. Animation that’s full of personality. The gameplay is simplistic, but this does not detract from any of the positive aspects of this game. In fact it keeps the pacing perfect as you’re constantly introduced to new and inventive situations back to back. No idea is lingered on for longer than it needs to be.

There are a handful of abrupt transitions between scenes that feel like some content was cut, but that is the only outright negative I can even come up with, and it’s a minor gripe. Genuinely some of the finest writing I’ve experienced in a video game in years. Recommended to anyone.… Expand

    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.
