    It is a clear evolution respecting the first installment. It feels new and dynamic, it makes you want to keep playing and exploring. It's beautiful and a lot of fun. I doubt I exceeded a third.

    It's Just the best game of the year until nós for me. Along side "It takes two" and "Ratchet and Clank", it's a really good exemplar of modern plataformers done right. It has a few rough edges, but it's simple not enough to takes a way the Fun and the masterclass of good level design.

    As someone who doesn't like 3D platform games, I was amazed be how much the original won me over back in the day. Fast forward to present day and lightning has struck twice. This game is just as funny, well written, and a trip to play as the original. Another feather in the hat from the company that gave us Grim Fandango and Full Throttle. Well done Double Fine.

    Fantastic 3D platformer adventure ! the art style is really unique and imaginative, the gameplay and level design are amazingn the collectibles, secrets, all that is a call back to the old school era of Platformers, and is really funny, characters are likable and each of them has its own personality. Raz especially is a really likable character

    I Rate it 8.7.The creativity is refreshing and keepet me motivated throughout. Some of the mechanics and story transitions are a little unpolished in areas. No major issues, but occasionally I was pulled away from the magic the game casts wondering "why did that just happen?". I love what was created and I think this game will inspire more creativity in future games.

It has an extremely unique level design and really takes advantage of the 'going into other's minds' concept that worked so well in the first game. The characters are extremely unique and interesting and have that awesome Tim Schafer quirk and amazing comedy. The combat has been smoothed out and is actually challenging compared to the original where you can't just melee stun the enemies in one chain. It forces you to be diverse with your arsenal and use all of your powers, something the first game didn't try as much. This, along with all the new enemies, infinitely improves the combat. Along with that, there is just so much to do and explore. You have all these collectibles, a fun upgrade system, and an interesting story. The art style is amazing and Psychonauts 2 is an improvement of every single core concept from the first game that made it so good in the first place. It is breathtaking and relieving to get a sequel that is just... Better, in every single way, compared to the original which was already amazing. I have no idea what the other reviews are talking about and why they are review-bombing it for no reason. This doesn't feel like an old game at all and I think many of the reviews are people so extremely upset the game wasn't localized to every single language in the world that they give it a 0/10. Ignore those reviews, this game is an absolutely wonderous masterpiece and is one of the best games I've played. By far it is the Game of the Year for me. Period. Expand

    Taking into consideration the first couple of hours of gameplay, where I’ve savoured every moment, this has got to be my favourite game of 2021.

    Very familiar for those who played the original, but more slick and less rage inducing. A joy to play! It has the humour of classic Lucasarts games like Secret of Monkey Island with the gameplay of Zool (another classic) in 3D unreal engine.

    Anyway, the game itself... quite simply it's very enjoyable, and a light-hearted take on dealing with some serious issues like mental health problems.

    The graphics are simply fine technically speaking, running flawlessly at native 4K@60Hz on my Series X, and a silky smooth 1440p@120Hz. Though, I can understand that some people may not be all that keen on the colourful "Tim Burton-esque" like cartoony graphical art style.

    Best thing though... it didn't cost me a penny outside of my Gamepass subscription... Bargain! :)

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.

    Absolute stunning game on Series X. Running at 120 the gameplay is soooo smooth. The story is engaging and keeps you guessing as you unravel secret plots and twists. A must buy this summer and holiday

    One of the best platformer out there with actual meaningful content and not just mindless jumping and smashing boxes like some recent games in the genre. Collecting stuff in a game never felt this satisfied mLove the art style, color pallet, writing and music so much. Tim's best work.

    Best 3D platformer since Mario Galaxy 2. Standouts: incredible art direction, improved gameplay mechanics compared to the first title.

    I didn’t play the original but I don’t think I need to to know that this is an amazing game. Some may not like the art style but I works with the goofy humor and and fun narrative. The gameplay is smooth and fun once you get used to it. I love the upgrade system and the funny random dialogue you get. This game is truly a must play!!!

    Uno de los mejores juegos del año y de la octava generación probablemente.
    Se merece realmente el GOTY

    I can't believe there are people who are low enough to review bombed this game. It reminds me of a certain fanbase of a specific console. Others rated it for dumb reasons like "No Russian language". Anyway, the gameplay, graphics, characters, and story is all top tier. I genuinely believe that this game is a GOTY contender.

    Backed this game during the campaign because I loved the original so much. Played on my ps5 and absolutely loved it. Reminded me of when I was in high school playing the original. Absolutely worth the time and one of the best games I have played in a long time.

    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.

    Easily the most original platformer in the past decade.

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

    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.
