Psychonauts

Psychonauts is so filled with flawlessely executed modern mechanics you almost can't believe it's been made 15 years ago. Fifteen years! Graphics are amazing, vivid and original, world and overall lore is pretty bizzare, level design is super clever. Movement feels extremely fun and unobstructed, combat can be too if you're creative! All in all an amazing game that outpaced its time.

This game has built an absolutely stunning and unique world to set the game in, that is fully realized with a wonderful story, imaginative level design, and an excellent cast of characters to inhabit it. It is a terrible shame that this game undermines this game at every turn. It is a platformer that has some stunningly made levels, but has poor controls and a camera that never seems to let you see where you're going or what you're doing. It gives you fantastic powers, but most of them don't work unless the plot calls for you to use that specific one. Some examples: You have a ranged psychic blast that you can't aim at anyone unless you're at near melee range. You get invisibility, but anything you'd want to sneak by can see though it. You can lift enemies up with your telekinetic powers, but can't actually do anything to them other then let them down gently where they were already standing. You CAN light a lot of enemies on fire, but that doesn't stop them from attacking you, and now they'll light you on fire as well. There are epic boss battles, that turn out to be frustrating games of 'guess which environmental hazard or psychic power the devs want you to use at this point'. Hint: It's never the one that you'd think would be the obvious choice. There's tons of things to collect, many of which you can barely see, even if you're standing in front of them with the camera focused on them. Oh, and at some point, we'll lock you out of backtracking to collect the items you've missed. It's like the game was designed by the whims of a cursed monkey's paw.

A well polished quality game. Looks like a kids game but to be fair I think kiinds would get too frustrated with the challenges. its a unique expreience and fun too play & really strange and surreal at times. lots of problem solving & exploring, vary varied content, its not a rinse & repeat type of game its very different as you progress. would be fund for the kids too as its got good story telling acting almost like watching cartoons but I think on the gameplay side some would need help on what needed. so yeah its a quality game and a quality exprience, its worth paying for. good to see its available on linux too not just windows, thanks >GOG

This one is a classic 3D platafom. Controls are what you expect of the mid 2000 era: quite tricky but afordable to master. The story is interesting and you can see the side characters having their own development during the game paralleling yours, is also a collect-a-ton with multiple well hidden objects. The "worlds" have all their own theme and are amusing to say the least. Overall a very interesting experience.

Its a good 3d platformer, very creative level design. Its a prety easy game that anyone would be able to enjoy. Humor is pretty good, should make you laugh and keep things light.
