Really enjoyed the game with excellent 3D platforming mechanics, imaginative level design inspired by Tim Burton, rich collectibles that encourage exploration, and meaningful character development. Praised for being unique and uplifting while tackling darker themes. Day one GamePass recommendation with only minor complaint about TK targeting precision.

    Blake covered a 4-6 hour preview of Psychonauts 2, describing it as having an amazing world and imagination but frustrating, imprecise platforming mechanics. The game's narrative and world-building are strong enough to pull him through despite mechanical issues that feel loose compared to other modern platformers.

    Psychonauts 2 improves upon the original with a more personal story, cohesive thematic design, and modernized 3D platforming mechanics. The creator rates it as surpassing the original psychonauts in quality and impact.
