Psychonauts

J'ai pas fini mais pour l'instant j'adore

I'm impressed how good Psychonauts is despite its old age. It is funny in a good way, with lots of jokes along the way and not childish as you might think. The levels you will go through and the superpowers you get are original and inventive and I explain why later in this review. Everything seems a little bit dreamlike. Basically, you are in a summer camp to learn to control your superpowers, in a world where not everyone can have superpowers and that are sometimes a reason to reject people. These superpowers are, indeed, very helpful for the society, because you can use them to enter people's mind and get to understand why they act like that. Their mind ARE the levels you go through, that's why it is so dreamlike and original. By going into their mind, you will have to fix their trauma and you will also understand their story or their trauma along the way. The purpose of this is to be ready to become a Psychonaut, someone that enters people's mind as a job. However, not everything will get as expected, there is a plot surrounding this summer camp and Raz', the protagonist, will have to solve it. While the levels are inventive all the way, the game might become heavy and sometimes frustrating when reaching the mid-part, as it was my experience. Regarding the boss fights, they are not that hard, but they are all gimmick fights, so you still might die some times. You will have to find how to beat the bosses instead of learning the patterns as it is the cases in many modern games. The achievements in this game are grindy as hell (rely on lots of different collectibles) and easily missable: there is a point in the game where you can't select level anymore and will have to do a whole new game to get them, but the game warns you before it. Overall, it took me 15.9 hours to beat the game but I explored a lot and grinded a little bit for some upgrades. If you go straight to the point, you can make it in 12, maybe 10 hours.

this game is phenominal and so is Brutal Legend...but everything after those 2 are neoMarxist propaganda. Just buy this and Brutal Legend and pretend Double Fine was shut down 15 years ago.

it so much fun would recomend

This game is the very definition of an underrated gem! The fact that this game flopped on initial release is just baffling to me! The premise is so unique and has so many cool and interesting ideas that make this game truly one of a kind! The art style is so unique that it's aged perfectly with time and reminds me of a classic Tim Burton movie! The writing is also super sharp and witty, helped along immensely by the charming quirky cast of characters! And there are so many memorable jokes and quotes that still get a laugh out of me even years later! Where this game really shines, though, is the level design! The concept of going into someone's brain and getting to interact with their inner world is just pure perfection! There are so, so many fun ideas getting thrown in here left and right that you can tell the devs had a blast with all the creative freedom it granted them! The gameplay is very fun and playing with the psychic powers feels satisfying! Even the few complaints some fans have are completely overshadowed by how much this game does right! Definitely recommend this and its amazing sequel!

Jogo com a cara de sua época, mas muito criativo e hoje jogando com mais idade dá pra entender o quão pesado são alguns dos temas abordados. Vou rejogar o Psychonauts 2 em sequência pois são jogos claramente feitos com muito carinho. A Double Fine infelizmente ficou muito tempo sendo mal utilizada sob o guarda-chuva do Xbox e é um estúdio que merece muito mais reconhecimento.
