About
A Psychic Odyssey Through the Minds of Misfits, Monsters, and Madmen.
This classic action/adventure platformer from acclaimed developers Double Fine Productions follows the story of a young psychic named Razputin. In his quest to join the Psychonauts--an elite group of international psychic secret agents--he breaks into their secret training facility: Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. But this is no average psychic summer camp! A mysterious villain has kidnapped Raz’s fellow campers and stolen their brains. Now he must use his psychic powers of Telekinesis, Levitation, and most of all his ability to project himself into the minds of others--to find the loose noodles and keep them from falling into the wrong hands. Fight mental demons! Uncover hidden memories! Sort emotional baggage! Explore the fantastic realm of the inner mind! Join the Psychonauts!

good game
Played through this for the first time because of the Game Club I run and wow! I liked it so much better than I was expecting to. What a fun cast of characters, silly humor, and a fun story. Some of the levels were hard to see because they were really dark, but overall I had a great time with this. It still holds up really well, even for a first time playthrough. This would've made for a great animated series. Can't wait to get around to the sequel.

I think when you play 'Psychonauts,' you are kind of playing inside of my head. -Tim Schafer
"If you're playing a video game and the writing doesn't make you want to shoot your own face off, then you're probably playing a Tim Schafer game." - videogamedunkey I have never agreed more of this quote while playing Psychonauts. Double Fine, you were amazing at the humor at this game and the art style is also impeccable. 10/10
Still holds up.
I've had this game on my radar for the longest time, one of my best friends in elementary school loved it so much. Managed to get it for super cheap on a summer sale, and I'm happy to report that it's absolutely worth it! Such a wild and fun adventure with clever interpretations of the mind!
If you remember that this is an old 3d platformer, with all the technical difficulties you can expect on an old platformer, this is a great game. The writing, characters and setting all stand the test of time and make this game still worth playing today. The puzzles are clever, the abilities are cool, and the voice acting is great. I had a few issues with controller mapping (had to rebind through Steam rather than in-game), but once that was sorted, did not face any real difficulty until the last level, which had 1-2 frustratingly janky jumping sections.
Fun game. Even though I put in almost 8 hours, I still at the beginning. Love to explore and try and collect what I can. Would recommend if you like a lot of the funny, cartoonish games from the ps2/xbox era. Especially the more older teen to adult demographic.
