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.

Best Tim Schafer Game

Above average platformer with some frustrating 3D aspects. Great, fun story. Interesting characters. Lots of humor and some of the best video game levels in all of gaming.

Repent your sins and buy this now!

Far too many people ignored this game when it came out, but hopefully now people will actually give it a chance. It won't be for everyone, but anyone that calls themselves a gamer owes it to themselves to at least play it, especially at the low price of $10. It's just so wonderfully weird, it's literally unlike anything you've ever played. In case I wasn't clear enough: BUY THIS NOW.

Good game, but not for my platform

I love this game, but I just wanted to inform people that this version does not work well on Arch Linux. I applied one common fix (renaming files), but after that got two more crashes at different points (with different errors). I will continue to play on a Windows machine. So be sure to enjoy this game if you are on the supported platforms, but if you are on Arch Linux, be aware that there are problems!
