The first game bombed when it released in 2005, but became a cult hit and over the years it has sold close to 2 million units, like a comeback story out of a fairytale, which prompted the development of the second game which comes out on August 25th of this year, included with Game Pass.
Psychonauts plays (somewhat) like the old Rayman 3D platformers with the humor and wit of Conker's Bad Fur Day.
It's very well written. It's genuinely funny and clever, in fact, it might be one of the best-written games I have ever played. The platforming is sharp and the collect-a-thon is addicting and the concept of traveling to different fantasy worlds inside people's brains works very well, it's always fun to see what the next world is gonna be like. The only issue I had was that the story parts are sometimes too frequent and long and make you wait too often, which can make for somewhat strange pacing.
But who here actually played the first one? who is excited about the second game? I always felt like Psychonauts has a marketing problem, as it's hard to convey the game from screenshots and footage alone. Game Pass is gonna help it a lot this time though.
