Psychonauts

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!

Substantial, balanced, hilarious, FUN... And unappreciated by the masses, which probably includes you. Come on, you'll love it!

This game is way to good to be left in the darkness of the game charts! You need to play this game and enjoy great storytelling

... 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!

Psychonauts is a brilliant game! There are so many things I love about this game I don't know where to begin! Okay let's start with the humor. The humor is great! It's everywhere! The characters look funny, the dialoge is hilarious, the cutscenes are goofy, and the game is hysterical! You can punch and even use your powers on someone and they always have something funny to say, especially Ford Cruller. Talking to characters is fun too. One of my favorite parts of the game is exploring the campgrounds. It's huge! The levels are fun but can be frustrating at times. Buy it!
