Psychonauts was always one of those games I was meaning to play ever since it came out. I’ve played most of the double fine titles but I started it and it didn’t instantly click so I put it down and never got back to it. The second one came out and I thought alright time to go for it. Wow! What a debut from double fine! Clever and fun mechanics, well defined characters, engaging story and actually laugh out loud moments! If you have kids the game dialogue is snappy like a Pixar movie. I made it to the tower and just can’t wait to see what happens next. There are a few small things like camera angles or controls that can be a little frustrating after all it’s almost a 20 year old game but if do yourself a favor and grab it for $2 on steam or Xbox store right now if you think you might like it. I’ve already got #2 in the queue.
I really loved the game, the aesthetic and characters were fantastic. The milkman levels are still some of my favourites just because of how surreal it all was.
