Psychonauts 2 (2021 Video Game)
10/10
A worthy sequel to a cult classic
31 August 2021
Psychonauts 2 somehow manages to meet and exceed the expectations I ever hoped for a sequel. This is a "hall-of-fame"-worthy platformer with so much story and character it will make Super Mario look like a russian novel in comparison. The writing in dialogues stands out as being exceptionally good. I don't typically make it a point to talk to NPCs, but Psychonauts 2 had me talking to everyone I could find, just to hear what they would say. This is a behavior that only Tim Schafer games seem to get out of me.

The game plays much like it did in the original, but with tightened controls and enhanced combat Psychonauts 2 improves on almost everything that made the original fun and engaging. That includes some of the most creative level design I have ever seen.

Recommended.
