    A complete MASTERPIECE!

    The art style of this game is gorgeous, gameplay mechanics are very well polished and story is very engaging from the beginning. I’m almost 15 hrs into the game and I can assure you that is a masterpiece, please try it and see for yourself as there are many pony haters that just can’t handle Xbox to be good. Try it and you will see, it’s on GamePass I do    A complete MASTERPIECE!

    Psychonauts 2 is a work of art in all respects. This is the most fun I have had with any game in a long time. Bravo to Double Fine and Xbox for making this masterpiece.

    What a game this is, I am a casual player and this game just absorbed my attention for a few weeks, to be honest I even felt a bit empty when the game was over. You should definitely try it, you won’t be disappointed !

    Awesome game! The writing is hilarious and Tim Schafer remains a creative genius, with amazing art design and aesthetic. The game can feel occasionally "low budget" in its transitions and cutscenes, and combat is sometimes frustrating, but overall, Psychonauts 2 is by far the best platformer on Xbox.

    De las mejores historias que puedes encontrar, fluido y con sensación de control extraordinaria. Visualmente grandioso, la música es pura magia, con piezas que interpreta el mismísimo Jack Black. Una joya pura y totalmente recomendable.

    La historia es demasiado caótica, así como sus mundos.
    No sirve de nada el progreso del personaje al estar límitado a 3 upgrades.

    Psychonauts 2 delivers a great story with well written characters and smart dialogue and themes, albeit a bit of a slow burner with some levels and mechanics that hit and some that miss.

    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.
