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
As Yahtzee said: Have you played Psychonauts? No? Go grab a pencil and put it between the middle and ring finger of your left hand. The with your right hand, squeeze the fingers together. Hurts, doesn't it? That's what you get for not playing Psychonauts!
This is a Tim Schafer game. If you like his other games, like: Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Full Throttle and Grim fandango, you will probably like this game. I am not generally a fan of platformers, but this game changed the how I feel about them. It has a great story with characters that literally draw you in.
I played this game for the first time in 2020. It's still 5 stars. Simple as that.
If you like 3D platformers or even atmospheric and creative games, just get it. It was made by the same mind behind Day of The Tentacle, Monkey Island, Full Throttle and many other story driven classics.
While it have issues here and there, it's simply not enough to reduce the score owned. It's just that good.
Go for it.
The game is fantastic. I have completed it many times on my xbox. Sadly, I can't make it work neither on my laptop or pc, nor this version nor the steam one. It always cries about an absurd directx error.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
