    They put love, it is not a difficult game as gameplay, but it is a great story, they develop all characters quite well and talk about real issues of people behavior and personality, quite deep subjects, which I enjoyed to play and I explore, it is a must play

    This is by FAR the most unique game I have played, maybe ever.. It is phenomenal. The fantasy behind it is limitless. No two levels are alike. It is Persona 5 (castles) on steroids. The mind levels are beyond description. Characters are cartoonish and lovable and the story bizarre AF.

    P.S.:If you don't like platformers you will have a hard time.

    The good:
    Psychonauts is back with Rasputin in the lead and Right at the time the first game left off. Humorous and “Burtonesque” type graphics (as if they were designed for a Tim Burton movie). The Transitions of worlds is spectacular without so much drama or inventions of Magical-comic-musical SSD. The sound effects are well done. Boss fights will leave you speechless (not all)

    The bad:
    Some skills are very useless. It is not for a child audience. The platform mechanics feel very 'New old school' type N64. Some worlds can be very strong and emotionally impactful with many eyes and holes or gloomy like the dentist. The soundtrack could have been better. It is a difficult game to see/watch

    Lo Meh:
    It feels like a continuation (which never came) back in 2005. A lot of criticism of the character and world design, but if this had been done by a certain Tim Burton they would be praising the project in a thousand ways. The James Bond-type song commercial was great. "The nightmare of trypophobes: the video game"    … Expand

    Graphics:

    This game recaptures the vibe of the first with its cartoony graphics and its beautiful art style. Playing this game reminds me of an old-school 3d adventure game in a great way. Throughout my playthrough, I was fond of every level and the uniqueness that they brought.

    Story:

    The writing is the best part of this game. With brilliant references, humor, and its careful handling of mental topics, Psychonauts 2 solidifies itself as one of Double Fine's best in their history.

    I would definitely recommend this for anyone to play. Psychonauts 2 is one of my personal surprise goty contenders for 2021.    … Expand

    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.

    The story of the game is amazing. it amused me the whole game through with constantly giving me new information and a lot of OOOHHH moments. While I havent played the first game it wasn't hard to get into and I felt invested really quickly. Im not going further into the story because its mostly why you should play this game.

    gameplay on the other hand was a bit boring. While the game is not really heavy focussed on combat or platforming it is okay as you can see the devs putted everything in the artstyle and story which hold this game up perfectly in my opinion. What I liked the most of the gameplay was actually the fact that there is no waypoint. Instead of a waypoint the main character often says where he should go to and you have to memorize where that person or location is. This makes you as the player constantly invested in what is told. Meanwhile if you forgot where to go to or the location where someone is you can also open your menu (a textbook) to read where to go. While this may sounds old and lazy this is in my opinion a lot more fun than just go to point A with a waypoint.

    So why should you play this game? You should play this game if you like the artstyle and want to go on a trip to bizarre worlds with a good story attached to it. if you look for gameplay you should look for somewhere else as psychonauts 2 has not lot to offer in that regard and that is fine.

    Why an 8 out of 10? because the game is good and a masterpiece in its own way but not yet a 9 or a 10 as the gameplay does fall behind from other platformers like to say mario. But this game is for sure a must play and especially a must play from gamepass.    … Expand

    Jogo multi plataforma padrão game pass, tem alguns momentos divertidos.
    Se não tiver nada para jogar.

    Não tem com dar uma nota maior que 6, neste caso fanboy detectado.
    Também não tem como ser menor de 4.

    The humor in this game is a win in it self, the art style is a huge plus for me. The world building and people all are different in their own way. Good game and a possible GOTY

    This game looks like a Hollywood mega-production. An incredible and surprising story with excellent game-play and fantastic worlds full of colours and magic. This game is a true gem, an experience no one must lose

    in an industry that became soulless and creatively bankrupt Psychonauts 2 stands out as a beacon of light there is so much to unpack but il keep this short and simple, one of the earlier levels of the game is a Casino/Hospital hybrid that takes place in a rubik's cube this is just one of many incredible levels this type of creativity is pretty much nonexistent in most Triple A games.

    Also the writing is top tier which is what you can expect from a tim schafer game from likeable characters, cleaver dialogue, well animated cutscenes and humor, but the biggest surprise for me was how the game tackles mental health and empathy which is kind off incredible to see in a game like this especially in a genre that isnt known for story telling.

    People have been waiting for Psychonauts 2 for 16 years and its almost impossible for it to live up to the expectations but the end product not only exceeds these expectations but even defies it in the best way possible.    … Expand

    Original como pocos juegos hoy en día.
    Audiovisualmente es una virguería de la animación. Diseño de niveles artísticamente glorioso. Como plataformas funciona bien aún con sus limitaciones por su naturaleza indie.

    La historia es demasiado caótica, así como sus mundos.
    No sirve de nada el progreso del personaje al estar límitado a 3 upgrades.
    Los menús son terribles y desorientan más que guían.

    Music is wonderful but occasionally repetitive. Voi e acting is excellent and combined with the story which is both poignant and funny. The gameplay when platforming is as good as it gets but the fight sequences and abilities are slightly underwhelming at times - not always satisfying when using weapons in particular BUT...Make no mistake, this game is bloody marvellous and will not disappoint. Highly recommended!!    … Expand

    Great game. The controls are good, and the psychedelic story telling is amazing. The art style reminds me of something out of a Tim Burton movie.
    Best platform game of the last decade. smart, great graphics and gameplay! You need to play this!

    This game is so much fun. And funny too. I was afraid the artstyle would be an issue but I actually love it. It’s charming. Can’t wait to see if they make a third one.

    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.
