Psychonauts

The Milkman's milk was indeed delicious.

За свою жизнь я успел поиграть во множество отличных платформеров, но именно Psychonauts я считаю одной из самых культовых игр в этом жанре. Главная задумка игры очень интересная: вместо одного определённого мира ты прыгаешь в чужие мозги, измерения с разной атмосферой и графикой, решая несложные головоломки с помощью своих способностей. Сами способности мы получаем на протяжении всей игры, а не сразу, благодаря чему интерес сохраняется очень долго. Мир игры насыщен яркими героями, многие из которых раскрываются не через диалоги, а через воспоминания внутри их сознания. Это помогает сохранить фокус на геймплее, при этом раскрывая их предысторию. В общем, советую эту игру всем, так как сам познакомился с ней только недавно и рад, что не прошёл мимо этого шедевра.

Coming back over 20 years later and this game still oozes charm and a distinctive character. Sure the sequel is a lot slicker, but this is where it all began. I am the Milkman. My milk is delicious

Charming, Intriguing, Incredibly funny, but still so annoying. I went into this thinking I was going to get a funny platformer with some weird stuff thrown in there to make things interesting. In the end I did get that but I was also left incredibly frustrated. Pros: The art direction is just amazing. I mean just look at the cover. It perfectly showcases the direction of the game and how weird it is. It also captures the style of early 2000's cartoons like Invader Zim which I'm a big fan of. The writing is also just amazing. Brilliant and clever throughout the entire game and also just endlessly funny. Might be one of the funniest games that I have ever played. This also feels really (i hate using this word) "meta" and self-aware. I also love me a good fourth wall break and there are a couple in this. I also adore this story and Raz's adventure as a PSI cadet. At first I was pretty confused to how everything worked and all of the psychonaut stuff, but after the tutorial I was instantly hooked by this world and its characters. Characters are spectacular. Raz is a fantastic protagonist and a hilarious one at that. The rest of the cast is funny and incredibly well written as well. Sasha being my favorite out of the supporting characters. Cons: I think this game could've truly been a 5/5 if it hadn't been for the gameplay. This game feels like it suffers from bipolar disorder or something like that. Sometimes it plays buttery smooth and just feels great. Other times it feels slippery and inconsistent which usually ends with me slamming my forehead repeatedly into my table. I don't know if its just been a long time since I last played a platformer, but man I felt like I just sucked at this game. It's just such a mixed bag for me and it unfortunately hurts the overall rating of the game. With that being said. Psychonauts is a game unlike any other that I have played. Incredibly funny, immediately intriguing, challenging, and charming. I'm hoping that the platforming is better in the sequel, because if that's the case then Psychonauts 2 might get close to a 5/5 rating.

Everything in this game is very good, but the gameplay completely sucks. At least there is some variety which keeps the game interesting, but the entire gameplay is too easy, boring and meaningless. A few bugs which required me to restart the game combined with a clunky save system were annoying. I never lost too much progress in one go but I did have to replay some sections, which becomes frustrating when they were unsatisfying in the first place. I heard that Psychonauts 2 addresses these issues and I can't wait to play that. If this game is necessary to get the best experience out of the sequel, watching a video on YouTube about the game might be better. At least for the second half of the game where the novelty wears off.

Simplesmente genial, gameplay muito massa e jogo muito criativo, enredo bem legal para quem gosta de paradas psicológicas, aborda de maneira cômicas temas bem importantes, traumas etc. Simplesmente masterpiece. O Psychonauts 2 é ainda melhor.
