just finished the first level and my only real complaint so far is that lilli's VA is definitely rusty loving how the updated graphic fidelity gives everything even more of a henry selick feel

Every new level has been a treat and has done something the first struggled with which was keep the platforming the star

I'm not as big of a fan of Psychonauts 1 as some people here, but so far I've been blown away by this game. I've only gotten through two levels, and IMO they're better than the first two levels of the original. Wish I could play more of it, because the casino sounds like a cool loving place to go, but I have to do adult crap. Also thank god someone decided to make figments more visible.

The various call backs to the first game are appropriately subtle and funny. I also gives this game so much respect for taking place immediately after the first (rhombus of ruin between, I know) instead of doing a 15 year time skip or something.

Also I was expecting rebraining Nick to just unlock the office so I could do a level in Ford's head, but no this is a level in itself.

What's the deal with the maternity part in the casino levels? I feel dumb, or that I missed something, but I'm not quite sure what point or reference the game was trying to make with it.

I feel dumb, or that I missed something, but I'm not quite sure what point or reference the game was trying to make with it. At first I thought it would have some deeper meaning but unless something gets revealed way later its just a hospital specialty just the same as cardiology and they chose it for the excellent rich parents dialog.

The Maternity part had me going "holy poo poo" more than once, like Im pretty sure the nurse/crouper has a loving speculum for a face and some of the poo poo the rich couple says. gently caress I love this game.

As a general tip; you may want to save as many internship stars as you can for when you hit level thirty because the final unlock for the mental connections power lets you traverse "dark" thoughts. Basically every stage starting with the second will have at least one path only reachable via dark thoughts so if you hate seeing stuff you can't get the first time through a level bear that in mind.

I'm not sure if this is a really nitpicky complaint or not but so far I've noticed that there isn't as much subtext compared to the first game? I've only beaten two levels and done one Ford level and I was a little frustrated in Forsythe's level after I found the second memory vault, only post boss fight for her to monologue the same thing that the vault says. The overarching villain plot seems a little obvious to me too and I hope there's something that's surprising. The game's style is top notch though, really enjoying it.

Sam is the best but I miss Dogen! I'm really disappointed that Double Fine doesn't have any cool merch for the game, I got it through Gamepass and it's so good that I'd definitely buy some figurines or whatnot.

Beat the game, hit rank 101 and don't feel like going after the handful of figments I missed. Overall very enjoyable experience, really good sense of visuals and a good sense of humor throughout. If I had to list weakpoints it's the power switching gets annoying, the last power being kinda useless and that due to a general overarching change in narrative delivery the brains have largely lost any subtext in favor of explicit text. Nothing as cool as Milla's secret room from the first game in this one, which is kinda sad. I did appreciate that you can find the extremely tacky lamp in Sasha's office though. A+ reference.

Junpei posted:I'm loving the kitchen level where you need to prepare ingredients Not a big fan of how it immediately shunts you off to the boss battle, and then from there out of the brain, once you've beaten the third course. They show me my prize for barely plating the third course in time and don't let me collect it! They had a break after every other course, why not this one too? And judging by the Steam forums, it can cause issues with being able to 100% the game.

I never finish Psychonauts 1 and honestly I didn't even play it that much. A kid in my neighborhood played it a bunch when I was growing up and I watched a lot of the game. Will I miss anything by not playing Psyhonauts 1 first?

I remember all of the characters and a lot of the story just from watching it as a kid but I don't remember the plot at all tbh.
