Ultimately, this is why Psychonauts 2 is so good. It is playful. It's fun. It's climbing inside a giant wedding cake, riding flying letters, taking part in a giant cooking show with eggs that are excited to be boiled kind of fun. What more, on this planet, at this time, could you possibly want?
I was not even remotely interested in this, but now…HYPE!
And it's held up quite well. The stylised graphics look ok and the gameplay is solid platforming and the world building and characters are great... If I had time I'd play the whole thing through again but I expect I'll want to get straight on to the sequel.. which arrives this week.
From the Currently Playing thread,
I like to think I'm a CAN DO kind of guy... And the number of cans I can normally do is 12.
I take it I don't need to have played the first before playing this? I'm sure they'll be little nods to the first one but I'm guessing I won't miss much?
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts...
Just playing the first one for the first time and it’s fun so far but definitely a game of it’s time. One of the characters just said “Raz the Spaz” :-o
The only thing I know about the first game is “You gotta let me in, my friend’s in there”. My little nephew was in the next room to me playing the game on PS2 all those years ago, and he must’ve been stuck or something and kept doing the same thing resulting in the same line from a character ad infinitum. It was… annoying.
