Psychonauts

a classic and it still work great on modern hardware!

I didn't expect such an involved story for such a delightful adventure-platformer. It's not deep or anything, but it's makes for a genuinely engaging narrative to comb through while you're going through the amazingly crafted levels (albeit, mostly because of their design and art), despite tripping a few times over the game's weird physics engine. Aside from the few hiccups in the controls department, this is a must-play for anyone that wants more of the absolute classics such as Jak or Klonoa. Every character is charming and most of them receive the perfect amount of on-screen time to fall in love with both their personality and early CN/Nick likeness.

feels like childhood all over again. the diologe , the voice overs....the art, everything!

I just finished playing Psychonauts after having it in my backlog for many years. As a 3d platformer from three console generations ago, Psychonauts holds up impressively well when it comes to controls and gameplay and the humour mostly works pretty well even today. I also enjoyed the various boss battles that helped preventing the game from feeling stale despite my playthrough taking about 17 hours or so and in all honesty, I felt pretty done with the game some time before the credits rolled. The difficulty increase in certain areas are letdown - not because it's impossible to overcome the challenges but because they don't really add any fun but rather detracts from it. Still, I know now why it's considered a classic and I can't wait to give the sequel a go!

it's a masterpiece, funny and intelligent and colourful, a definite must play
