    Com Mario Odyssey em 2° lugar na minha lista,esse foi o melhor jogo de plataforma que eu já joguei. Eu gostei da forma que a história foi contada,adorei os cenários e essa característica psicodélica e diferente que eles apresentam. Os diálogos são hilários,e é desafiador coletar tudo. Nota 10!!!

    Absolutely amazing fun game that’s filled with character and uniqueness. The level design, characters, and story are all spot on. There’s also quite a bit of collectibles and open world elements that allows for a more nonlinear experiences. One of my favorite games ever and I cannot wait for a 3rd game.

    La pase muy bien, los niveles la historia esa decente ademas recoger todas las piezas se hace algo repetitivo y complicado aveces pero eso es lo que me hace estar mas tiempo en el juego.
    Me tarde 3 meses en terminarlo por temas de trabajo pero lo disfrute mucho.

    Psychonauts is a very good, enjoyable and entertaining game. With interesting, large locations, unique plot twists and fairly well developed characters, this cartoon-like game gives hours of a good gameplay.

    The soundtrack is awesome, it adds an excellent dynamic to the game. It portraits well the game atmosphere - naïve, nostalgic and absolutely magical.
    The only major problem that I can see is how inconsistent the graphic is. The locations are beautiful, very cartoony, nice to look at. However, the textures on the characters, especially on their faces are still very off. I know that it was meant to resemble an old-school game, but they look odd comparing to all the rest. Pixelated and just not polished.
    Overall, it's a decent piece of entertainment. A big plus for being able to enjoy the game after completing the main quest - it gives you a good few more hours of gameplay and lets you complete all the side tasks.    … Expand

    a great sequel to one of the most creative games in history. Special thanks for the fact that, albeit not immediately, they added support for the Russian language, now you can comfortably immerse yourself in the game.

    I can't play the game comfortably as it doesn't even have Russian subtitles. I don't understand Microsoft's attitude to the Russian market, how do they want to compete with Sony if they have full localization in almost all games?

    i had never hear Psychonauts game before I start playing Psychonauts 2 game. Game is fun to play with game humor was very fun and sharp. When you start playing Psychonauts 2 game you immerse yourself in the game, after a while you will notice that you have played to the end of the game and will be thirsty for DLC or a new Psychonauts game

    Psychonauts 2: es un juego brillante, con un guión exquisito a la altura de las antiguas aventuras gráficas clásicas. La jugabilidad es muy buena. Ojalá algún día veamos un nuevo Monkey Island con el gran Tim Schaffer y el genio de Ron Gilbert.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has a very fun puzzle mechanic, but sometimes it becomes very tedious when these puzzles are repeated over and over again, in the colorful mental world (I forgot the name) the puzzles become very repetitive because we need to look for one over and over again. big lighting to create the rainbow bridges, and the boss is also a little cloying, because he appears several times, only in the end you face him, making it something predictable and annoying. But apart from that, the game is a lot of fun, the powers are diverse and with an interesting upgrade system, the side missions revolve around collectibles that, in many cases, to get them, you need to level up and with that generates more additional hours game, but I never liked side missions and that's why my focus in games has always been to beat the main campaign, my gamertag if you want proof: guzart604… Expand

    I played the original Psychonauts on the Xbox way back when. While I don't remember each and every detail, I do remember it feeling very unique and captivating.

Upon hearing news the sequel released (and straight to Game Pass), I was very excited to play it. The hype around it being a "Game of the Year" candidate only fueled my excitement. But unfortunately that's where the joy ended for me. I think my expectations being as elevated as they were contributed most to my disdain for this title. It's really not a bad game, but getting through the 3 hours that I committed to it was a bit of a chore. While it's very colorful, bright and humorous...it sort of lacks heart. It's one giant repetitive collectathon that still manages to feel like a tutorial even beyond the first level. Alot of people enjoy the game and they aren't wrong for thinking it's amazing cause I see what makes it good. But the shortcomings are too hard overlook, especially for a seasoned gamer such as myself.… Expand

O design cartoonesco do game são bonitos, o jogo possúi combates com inimigos e uma boa história

    An original game where you can enter in the mind of people and fight with the emotions of the person, but this situation will soon be bigger and problematic. This game rapresents the aspect of old games but reasembled in a new one.

    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.

    I had never heard of the Psychonaughts games before trying this one on Gamepass and I wasn't disappointed. The platforming elements brought me back to my childhood and the story was far better than any platformer that I have ever played. Boss battles were great.

    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.
