Delve into people's minds as Raz, a powerful young cadet at a psychic summer camp. While working on his merit badge in levitation, Raz discovers that someone is kidnapping psychic children and stealing their brains. To foil this evil plot and earn the title of Psychonaut, Raz must project himself into the mind of one bizarre character after another to battle their nightmares and inner demons. He does all this while continuing to earn psychic merit badges in subjects such as telekinesis, clairvoyance and fire-starting.
This amazing 3D platformer adventure, full of brilliant humor, trippy setting, and surreal action, became famous for its originality and excellence of design. If you're looking for a unique gaming experience, this is a fine pick. More than just fine, as a matter of fact--double fine!
A brilliant story that will not let go of you until you finish the game
An absolutely unique atmosphere with a psychedelical level design by Tim Schafer's famous Double Fine team
One of the greatest titles of the platformer genre
Psychonauts is a truly original, fun game filled with humor.
Interesting concept, great execution, original and interesting environments, good character development. You are bound to find a character that you'll say its like one of your friends (or enemies)
A must have game.
You know, I absolutely loved this game. I had never heard of it before GOG, somehow, and I picked it up on a whim. It is just oodles of fun. Your character is at a training camp for Psychic kids. Each level is the mind of another character, where you fight against their neuroses, hidden memories, or other mental blocks. There's a little bit of puzzle-solving and a lot of jumping and running around in cool environments. There is a lot of exploring you can do on the side and lots of collectibles to find. (Make sure you find them early or you may get caught up in ENDGAME, which is surprisingly long, and be unable to go fetch them.) Meanwhile, in the actual storyline, your character is constantly learning new tricks that make moving around even more fun. This is a little weird because it makes most of the game feel like a tutorial, and then THE END happens. The difficulty ramps up a LOT in THE END. One jump in particular was very hard for me. I tried it off and on for two days and finally had to watch a Lets Play on Youtube very carefully and memorize the exact movement. There was a patch released recently that decreases the difficulty of this spot. It appears to be only available unofficially for the GOG version. Whether you have it or not, it is possible to complete the game. Just keep trying!
... actually I can't remember if I ever had this much fun playing a computer game. I'm rather new to gog.com and was mostly playing the newest games and not really looking at anything older. Man, I'm glad that changed.
Psychonauts was the first game I picked up on this site and well, what can I say? The story is intelligent, the charakters are very interesting, there is a ton of good laughs and also (which surprised me) quite a bit of dark and mature themes. I definitely enjoyed the art style too, though I know a friend of mine can't stand it, so I guess that might be the only thing someone might now like about it.
The best thing about the game though is probably it's creativity. Every mind you enter is a completely new world and it is simply impossible to get bored.
So look at the screenshots here on gog and if you don't completely dislike the art style, get this game! It rocks!
Definitely one of my favourite games of all time!
