Psychonauts 2

First of all, I'd just like to state, dear Lord do I love Psychonauts. The first game is a treasure of this universe brought to us by Tim Schafer himself. Iconic in every way but the janky controls. Psychonauts 2 goes in and does what the original did, and added a fresh coat of paint and a controls revamp. To begin, the setting is very interesting, Psychonauts Headquarters is a quite large location that thankfully, is not sparse and empty. There's plenty of stuff to do, plenty of places to go, it's even a good spot to grind for arrowheads. While I didn't find as many aspects utterly captivating as the original, I did find things that I love even more, for instance, PSI King's Sensorium, my beloved. Not to mention the sheer amount of quality of life improvements such as the improved visibility of figments, more responsive platforming and far, far better combat! Also, cannot forget the Otto-matic, it's useful as all hell, and it beats the ♥♥♥♥ out of the drag that was going to the lodge every time you wanted to buy something in the original. The things I dislike are very few, for instance, I did dislike the lack of random encounters that the characters went through that had like a fun achievement attached to them for witnessing it, there was some lack of variety on that front. I also do dislike, though I acknowledge THIS IS rose-tinted glasses, I simply didn't find the theming of the minds to be as consistently fun as in the original. For some it felt the settings were randomly plucked from a bucket of notes written by people at the studio. I felt they could have been better executed with even a slight tweak in their design. The gimmicks in the minds are fun, don't get me wrong, but it's quite hard to best the likes of Black Velvetopia and Waterloo World in terms of settings that just POP out. But all in all, I adore this game, adore it. I recommend it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ much. I recommend the original more, but this game is still an amazing experience that shouldn't be passed up.

Es prácticamente un juego perfecto. Si echas de menos los plataformas de la época de PS2 (este me recuerda mucho a Rayman 2 y 3) este juego tiene mucho de eso. Se controla muy bien y se siente buen feedback, sobre todo si vienes del primer juego. A nivel de narrativo es muy, MUY interesante. Sobre todo me ha encantado cómo el juego usa el aspecto artístico/creativo para representar visualmente (y jugablemente) traumas y problemas de salud mental serios, pero con mucho humor y carisma. Recomiendo jugar antes al primero, aunque este juego tiene un resumen para los recién llegados. Además el primero solo está en inglés. Este juego afortunadamente sí está en español.
