    Great gameplay, creative and often laugh out loud funny. Transcends the platform genre.

    Great fun. Colourful for kids, psychedelic nonsense for adults. Better than the original and a decent length.

    A whimsical story with an interesting take on mental health paired with visuals out of a Tim Burton film, Psychonauts 2 is what the platforming genre aspires to be.

    Playing on Series S. This game is a lot of fun, humorous, touching, emotionally deep. The art style is fitting for the nature of the game and very charming. Controls are very responsive and there are quite a few secrets to discover by exploring. Fantastic game!

    A great game that has preserved the spirit of the original and conveys the whole essence of the first game in fifteen years, how the locations of the inner world of people reflect their fears and thoughts, this is something incredible.

    I can honestly say the wait was worth it. The story is engaging and the characters are memorable. I am glad that Double Fine stuck to their roots and didn't try to create a game that is like every other title. The title is quirky, clever and plays to its strengths. I recommend the title to new players as well as if you played the original. Definitely a game of the year contender.

    Jogo excelente, não gosto muito de jogos de plataformas hoje em dia, mas esse consegue me prender de uma forma que não dá vontade nem de parar de jogar. Essa guerra de console é muito boba, é só as pessoas jogarem na plataforma que preferir, o importante é se divertir.

    Un excelente videojuego, con gráficos muy bonitos y físicas excelentes, está es la mejor versión que puede haber, a 4k y 60 cuadros por segundo, tiempos de carga rapidísimos, y el juego simplemente espectacular!!!

    Шикарный платформер с отличным визуалом и взрослым сюжетом. Пример того, как даже спустя 16 лет сиквелы актуальны и имеют право на внимание.

    Depois de muitos anos após o primeiro game, fiquei surpreso que Psychonauts 2 manteve sua essência e conseguiu entregar uma sequência muito boa. Gameplay e história interessante. Conseguiu superar e muito o primeiro.

    This game is an incredible peace of art, and the perfect sequel to a now 16 year old franchise adored by it's fans. The writing is better than ever, with the smartest puns and incredibly dense lore about the world and characters that made it feel like it blew the world of psychonauts out of the little campgrounds it once was onto this gigantic universe with so many characters to learnThis game is an incredible peace of art, and the perfect sequel to a now 16 year old franchise adored by it's fans. The writing is better than ever, with the smartest puns and incredibly dense lore about the world and characters that made it feel like it blew the world of psychonauts out of the little campgrounds it once was onto this gigantic universe with so many characters to learn about and interact with. The game is visually stunning, with not only the hub worlds but especially the minds being incredible to look at from any angle, the visual metaphors are back and better than ever and the gameplay has greatly improved since we last saw it 16 years ago. The game fells super fluid to play with, and that anything you want to do, you can do if you try hard enough. Exploration is encouraged in every corner by the massive amount of collectibles hidden in every cranny, nook and corner, but not so many like Super Mario Odyssey as to where it would feel unsatisfying. Combat is refined too, with a big focus on utilizing the best psychic power on the correct enemy at the right time to have the biggest chance at sucess, but with enough freedom to where you can fight then with other playstyles if so desired too. Voice acting is amazing and since the story happens only a couple days after the original game, it's incredible how well everyone could still perform these characters after 16 years in real life and for it to feel like only 48 hours in the universe had happened. The game has a ton of fan service, with a lot of jokes and references to the first that make it feel like a real love letter not only to this amazing universe and it's characters but also to every psychonauts fan out there that took their time learning everything they could about the universe from the first game. This is now my favorite game ever, and a really strong recommend from me for anyone that likes fun, heart warming stories with a lot of surprises, twists and turns. 10/10.… Expand

    Fun, stylish game with well thought out level design and story. The open world element really allows you to get lost in the world DoubleFine created. This is reinforced with intelligent writing, although aimed at a younger audience, still had lots of mature themes and lines in there which had me laughing.

    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.
