An Almost Perfect Sequel
We all have those special games that mean a lot to us- games that really stuck with us, were memorable, resonated emotionally, and absolutely deserved a sequel, but didn't sell well enough or were otherwise too weird to break out of obscurity. We got just one visit to that world and, though we treasure it, we can never explore beyond it. I'm so, so glad that Psychonauts didn't end up being one of those. All these years later, the game is still fresh in my mind, and jumping back in feels like I never left. It's an absolute joy to see this story continue, to explore new mental landscapes, and to revisit old characters and meet new ones just as compelling. The gameplay has changed very little from the first game, with the addition of new psi powers and enemies and smoother, more responsive controls, and it's still fun to explore and find all the collectibles- a task made easier this time around with the addition of simple checkmarks for areas you've cleaned out, so you can concentrate your search in the right place. The graphics are beautifully updated, with incredible attention to detail, and the plot remains faithful to the original while feeling like a natural progression and raising the stakes and tension. Best of all, it captures the mood of the original- that perfect mix of surreal, unpredictable weirdness and humor, with a deeper, darker, slightly disturbing side lurking beneath it all. It did have a few minor issues- maybe it's just me, but despite the areas being larger, the world felt somehow smaller and more limited. Maximum rank can only be achieved after absolutely everything has been discovered and the game has concluded, making the reward useless as there's no incentive to revisit old empty regions and no new battles to fight. And while there were some great emotional moments, none of them seemed to hit as hard as the original. But for a game to be this faithful to everything that made the original great after so long is just amazing. Worth every cent.
