It's a tedious game with a million useless ugly things to collect and frustrating amateurish platformer gameplay. Its sense of humor has also aged extremely poorly. Give this one a pass. Maybe play Grim Fandango instead. Later.

Well, I didn't like it in 2004 or whatever, but I had the PS2 version, widely regarded as a fail port...picked up the PC version a few days ago because hey, I'm older now and I make thousands of dollars a year, so why not? Lesson learned: it's still a bad game. Just wanted to warn the Imp Zone, lest they make the same mistake.

All Psychonauts needs is smoother controls and less obtuse adventure game poo poo. It suffers from an adventure game with platforming elements tacked on.

Psychonauts would have been better as an early release game, because then they wouldn't have finished it so Meat Circus wouldn't be in the game at all.

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
thought it was cool that they were so dedicated to their dumb little world they made up that every single character reacts to every possible item and power in a unique way, even if you cheat the game to get powers earlier and use them on characters that disapear before you get them properly

also they made a loving myspace account for most of the characters and had them post comments on the other pages, they were dedicated to the lore of their invader zim fangame

too bad none of the actual game was fun at all

"meat circus" does sound invader zim as gently caress

i have no opinion on psychonauts other than its fans think it's some overlooked masterpiece and they won't shut up about it, and i would very much like them to do so

uh so you got to the very last level of the game that was bad and gave up???

also meat circus is the worst level, but still, you played like 9 hours or whatever and got the last level of a game you hated

i want to dwelve into your brain, how does that happen?

Actually, in a good adventure game such as the one I mentioned in the OP, Grim Fandango, players collect objects which may SEEM useless or silly but in fact can be applied to puzzles or scenarios later on. Applying these objects results in a challenging and rewarding gameplay experience. In Psychonauts you chase annoying little objects that simply add up numbers to create powerups and it's tedious.

i spent money on the game and wanted to see what the hype was about, and it wans't even worth finishing?

mediocre platforming in a fun settings, great script and fun levels

it's good and an enjoyable gaming experience with some minor meh platforming areas (fishboss and very last level for example). it's just not the amazing infallible masterpiece some people make it out to be.

for these reasons I recommend Psychonauts
