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.

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.

A master work

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.

Being objective

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.

Fantastic game when it's working

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.

Fun... for a while

Okay, so I enjoyed the game for a while, and then it gradually got repetitive and annoying near the end... I was like "Okay, I can finish this" and the final level just gets more annoying. A few of the minor glitches become glaring problems in the final level. Overall, it's a fun game... but that final level just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
