Psychonauts 2

Psychonauts 2 é uma obra inesquecível, um jogo que explora várias faces da mente humana de um jeito criativo e até meio maluco, imaginando como seria possível “corrigir” problemas mentais de forma física, o que rende situações únicas e até engraçadas em alguns momentos. É facilmente um dos jogos mais criativos que já joguei, principalmente porque cada mente que você visita é completamente diferente da outra, tanto em visual quanto em ideias, sempre surpreendendo e nunca ficando repetitivo. Eu já adoro o primeiro e coloco os dois praticamente no mesmo nível de qualidade, mas o segundo consegue amarrar melhor a história, deixando tudo mais coeso, mais bem explicado e mais interessante no conjunto, além de desenvolver melhor os personagens e dar mais peso emocional pra jornada do Raz. A gameplay também evolui bem, os poderes são mais variados e melhor utilizados, e o level design acompanha essa criatividade toda, sempre trazendo ideias novas e encaixando tudo com o tema de cada mente. As melhorias gráficas e técnicas fazem diferença, tudo é mais bonito, mais detalhado e mais vivo, com animações cheias de personalidade que ajudam muito na imersão. A trilha sonora casa perfeitamente com cada momento, reforçando o clima de cada fase e deixando tudo ainda mais marcante. É um jogo que equilibra humor, criatividade e temas mais sérios de um jeito muito natural, sem parecer forçado, e isso faz ele se destacar ainda mais. Dá pra ver o cuidado em cada detalhe, desde as mecânicas até a forma como a história é contada, algo que realmente faz falta em muitos jogos hoje.

Somehow still has the magic and creativity of the first game

Do you remember what made the original Psychonauts good? Well...you will not find it here. Instead of staying true to their roots with genius writing, excelent level design, and memorable characters; they just tried to push woke agenda onto their players. - the Moderlobe quarry map is horrible, and it feels so out of place, same for Psy King's sensorium; it's a far cry from the Milkman Conspiracy and Fred Bonaparte's War level from the original game. - the new Agents design sucks a$$! both in terms of art direction and writing. - the Projection ability has very little usage throughout the game, and it is only used for backtracking doors and levers that were previously inaccessible. - the plot is so weak that you can spot the villain right at the beginning of the game. - they tried to revamp the mobs and abilitites, but they still reused a lot of the old ones which is very disappointing. - the back and forth to restore Ford's mind is so unnecessary, even the plotline doesn't make any sense.

Great game, great story. Highly recommend and make sure to play the first game as well!

o Jogo saiu em 2021 mas só fui jogar agora.... Psychonauts 2 venceu o GOTY 2021 e foi completamente merecido. Antes de jogar pensei que seria muito infantil talvez, mas me impressionou muito, em praticamente todos os aspectos, é tudo muito bem feito, todos os cenários que são muitos, o jogo tem muita plataforma, diversos colecionáveis para se pegar em todo canto, mas sem ser aquela coisa maçante a la Assassins creed, vários poderes para serem utilizados e upados e o principal, uma historia muito mas muito bacana e divertida com muito humor, é um jogo simples mas que te deixa imerso pois sua narrativa acredito ser a parte de maior destaque do game. Zerado com aproximadamente 22 horas, ja fazendo vários extras, e platinado com 26 horas. Pode ir de olhos fechados que o jogo é muito bom!

10/10 A very good game that explores different aspects of mental health in creative and innovative ways. Stages: Each stage makes you reflect on your own mental state and the world around you. At times, the way you see life is contrasted with other perspectives, or even with what’s inside other people’s minds (quite literally). The level design, colours, paths, music, sound effects, and even the NPCs all contribute pieces to the larger mystery of the human mind. Characters: Very memorable and nostalgic, making you want a remake of the first Psychonauts. The character development is so well done that you can relate to each character and understand their motivations and actions. Music: Peter McConnell did an amazing job, with tracks that mix jazz fusion and orchestral vibes, making you feel like you’re in an animated movie.

[h3]【8.5/10】想象中如果皮克斯动画可以玩的样子[/h3] 好玩！如果你也刚好喜欢收集、探索、跑酷和一些稀奇古怪的丑东西，那么非常推荐试试看意航员2。看到有说法将其称作单人版双人成行，个人感觉在平台跳跃和离奇脑洞上有异曲同工之处，但意航员会更偏向收集驱动，且大部分地图的半开放形式会更鼓励自由探索，相对的也可能比较容易迷路，从这点上来说或许不太适合与线性流程的双人作比较。游戏有战斗元素但官方提供了辅助模式，我自己是窝囊地把辅助战斗里的免伤全开了，仍然玩得不亦乐乎。个人很喜欢的一点是，游戏用一种夸张的视觉语言，把抽象的心理状态转译为可以被奔跑、跳跃、解谜的地形。焦虑变成不断塌陷的平台，执念化作循环往复的机关，而创伤则潜伏在看似滑稽却令人不安的空间褶皱之中，不同的精神结构又塑造了完全不一样的心理景观，这使得在每一章的意识流中跳跃时都不断感到惊喜。印象比较深的有凯西的图书室、福特的书信、感官王国还有胡闹厨房那几章。后期可能有一些重复感，比如很多收集流程都是相似的，boss战也是固定的三轮流程，收集物多到眼花缭乱等等，但如果能对上这些风格独特的脑洞一定会被其创意所折服。 PS：还有没有类似意航员2的游戏呀求推荐（大概是含有3D平台跳跃/收集/跑酷/轻度战斗元素这种），通关了一个月还在意犹未尽地找代餐。

Simply one of the best games ever made. The perfect sequel to Psychonauts 1.

Dei trash. gets boring very quickly and the puzzles are really boring.

Ok, so, if you just want more Psychonauts then you get more psychonauts, the graphics are upped thanks to the technology and gameplay is way more polished... but I can't for the life of me think this game is better than the first game. As I said the gameplay is great, the plataforming is way better than the first, there are QoL changes that make your life 10 times easier if you're a completionist, bosses are great, and the story feels more grounded and frankly better written overall compared to the first. But the big point at least for me, I didn't think a single one of the minds of this game was more interesting than the ones in the first, I don't think many share this opinion but I played the first years ago and I can still remember levels like Milla's and the theater (Milk man is just a timeless classic, I'm not mean enough to hold that level as any standard), I just finished this and the only one that sticks to my mind was the concert. And a second point that annoyed me greatly is that this game threw away almost the entire cast from the first game but they got replaced by a way larger cast, so how did it fare? -Sasha and Milla, really interesting characters from the first game, personal favorites even, I'm really pumped to see how they contribute...pretty much not in the story. -The campers were replaced with a bunch of psychonaut interns, they were a bit unlikeable but they seem interesting enough and Sam is even related to important characters in both games so with a bit of development they could shine... and they only appear in the very first mission and [spoiler] The tail end of the very last one. [/spoiler] -Raz's family that just pop up in the story... they did just for a plot point and completely forgotten afterwards. -Lili? Raz's girlfriend, has connections to a mayor character in the story and also the main mistery... [spoiler] Does nothing the entire plot and she is only mission control on a single level [/spoiler] -Ok, so how about the group of characters that you enter the minds of and pretty much hijacks the plot after the first mission? [spoiler] Dissapear at the climax of the story!!! [/spoiler] Ok I can't deal with this. This humongous cast feels like they came from 3 different stories that got chopped up and frankestined together afterwards with the way they appear and disappear, despite me thinking that this is a good story overall, I'm amazed at how they manage to find the perfect way to undermine each and every character in it. And a point I didn't know how to bring up naturally... the designs feel very diferent from the first game, they still look like Picasso paintings but they look over all cuter and more approachable (heck, Sam is downright adorable), while on the first the ugly characters looked down right grotesque, I'm ambivalent to this, the art style still feels somewhat intact but it also feels a lot less bold. Could be good could be bad.
