    this quirky game is very cool. Combat is simple but challenging, story is interesting an funny, mental worlds are creative and mysterious, a lot of different characters and activities. I like to use clarvoyance on regular npcs and laugh at what they see. It gives me some vibes from older Harry Potter games, but better.

    Grandísimo juego, los gráficos cartoon no me encantan pero se ve genial. Muy divertido, los diálogos me han parecido lo mejor y gameplay muy fluido. Merece la pena un mes de game pass aunque sea para probar este juego.

    Psychonauts 2 stays true to its roots from the original that came out 15 years ago. The writing still has the same whit that Double Fine is known for and the platforming is creative and mesmerizing. I think the combat was a bit lackluster after a while due to there not being many creative ways fights are utilized, but this game makes up for it with some gorgeous animation.

    The best platformer in 2021. Double Fine did a great job and faithfully conveyed the atmosphere of the first part. They did not lack creativity.

    Najbolji platformer u 2021. godini. Double Fine je uradio odličan posao i verno je preneo atmosferu prvog dela. Kreativnost im nije falila. Nivoi su prelepi, živopisni koloriti ostavljaju fenomenalan utisak. Priča je zanimljiva, kao i sami nivoi, minus samo zbog manje količine humora u odnosu na prvi deo i relativno lakših boss fight delova. Još jedna must-play igra na Game Pass servisu.    … Expand

    Not my type of game but it's available on Game Pass and I figured let's give it a shot. Right from the start you can tell this is an absolutely fun game. My 3yo loves watching along while exploring this vibrant world and characters. Not sure about this GOTY year talk but the review bombing is absolutely pathetic.

    Great trip through the imagination. This game made me laugh many times. I am not a fan of platform games but I am enjoying this one very much. If you have Game pass I would give it a try.

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

En Psychonauts 2 desarrollarás multitud de habilidades psíquicas para moverte, sortear peligros, atacar, leer mentes, conectar ideas, etc. No os dejéis engañar por su estética que combina lo infantil con películas de Tim Burton: es un plataformas con un trasfondo muy maduro y que trata todo tipo de enfermedades mentales con un toque de humor. No es necesario haber disfrutado de la primera entrega para entender Psychonauts 2, ya que el protagonista te resume los acontecimientos al inicio. En definitiva, un plataformas muy original, adictivo, entretenido y con una historia muy importante. ¡Muy recomendable jugarlo en XBOX Series X|S o PlayStation 5 para disfrutarlo a 60 fps!

    Never played the first game, but tried the second. An extremely well made world with a great hero. The level design and platforming puzzles are very clever and interesting. I like it quite a lot.

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

    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.

    Sin duda una de las sorpresas del año, double fine demuestra otra vez, el gran talento que tienen creando videojuegos originales y divertidos. El juego goza de una jugabilidad bastante limpia en Serie X a mi parecer, con casi ningún error encontrado en mis horas de juego más que el volumen de algunas voces y la aparición de subtítulos que reemplazan a unos con otros.

    The game is very addictive and very good, the story is very interesting and has its touch of depth, simple but satisfying gameplay when moving as much as when exploring the scenarios or at the time of the fighting, the protagonist is very charismatic like the characters secondaries.

    Anyway. a great game. 9/10

    Es un buen juego, entretenido, pero no recomiendo esta pagina ya que no es 100% legitima la critica de las personas como las calificaciones, por que aun no teniendo el juego ni a verlo jugado puedes criticar en su contra, Recomiendo irse a Steam ahí solo pueden opinar los que obtuvieron el juego y lo jugaron. ahí podrán ver una critica autentica del juego.

    One of the best games I have played this year, from amazing level design to weird but good looking art style to the funny writing. Everything is perfect. I gave 9 because as a audio guy It would have been nice if the sound design is a little better but thats for Me. Most of the gamers won't even recognize it. A must play.

    Uma das melhores surpresas do ano. História intrigante e bem narrada. Personagens muito vem escritos e carismáticos. Arte completamente diferente de tudo que eu já vi. Level design divertidíssimo. Trilha sonora fantástica com direito a muito jazz. Jogo bastante fluído e com combate variado. Ivastq quantidade de inimigos diferentes. Vale muito a pena jogar esse grande jogo

    This game is really, really good. From the graphics to gameplay, it is a super fun game that will make make you play with a smile in the face, the story is super cool and characters are really special and fun. Double Fine pulled an amazing and polish game. It is too sad that sony fanboys, for some werid reasons, are review bombing the user scores. You are rrally pathetic and sad persons.

    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.
