Psychonauts
Description
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

8.7/10
The first half of this game is easily one of the most enjoyable I've had in the past year. But as is the case with many humorous games, the laughs begin to fade in the home stretch and in the end Psychonauts started to wear on me.

8.9/10
Inspired, delightful and at times bordering on the insane. Psychonauts is mind-blowing, however it's tricky at times and definitely not for kids.

8/10
What's unavoidable is the fact that almost all of the problems that weigh Psychonauts down are borne out of the legacy that the platform genre itself has, and Double Fine - like so many other developers - has largely been unable to avoid falling into the same pitfalls of inconsistent level design and unwise difficulty spikes. Dammit.

Even Better on PC
Just from a graphics standpoint, this game is light years better on PC than on the original console releases. No more muddy textures (save for the videos), smoother framerate, decent controls. Play it, or play it again.

Subjectivity is good.
Psychonauts is still what I consider my favorite game of all time. It isn't a "perfect game" by any stretch of the imagination but it is my favorite. The platforming can be clunky, even using a controller (how I played) and the collectables serve little to no real purpose other than mindless completionism but the characters and settings in this game REALLY shine. I guess that's kind of redundant seeing as the characters ARE the settings. The main conceit of the game is jumping into characters minds and helping them work through their personal issues. I don't think I've ever played a game that I found as generally funny and charming as I found Psychonauts and I'm glad to have played it.

Almost a masterpiece
This game is one of the best 3D platformers I played in my life. I say is "almost a masterpiece" because one of the last levels (the meat circus) is really frustrating. Until that point, the game is very straightforward, but then it gets really annoying. Also, is the kind of game that has a "point of no return", so you need to make sure to have all the collectibles before that point, or you'll never get them. Besides that, the game design, the characters, the powers, the puzzles, the deep messages about the human psyche, is all great!

Game is outstanding
Never played it before. First impression is : "WOW" I love this game, style and music, a little annoying dialogues system, but the are fun to read. I can recommend it to those who never tried it. Hope you will like it as much, as I do.
