Having never played this series growing up, I jumped into this it recently. After getting a little over halfway through the first game, I bounced off of it due to its age. There's a lot to love with its charm, soundtrack, visuals, etc... Luckily, I gave the sequel a try because it does everything that I loved in the first game without the issues I had. Everything has a purpose, whether it's a throwaway joke or a background decoration. A huge ensemble of characters without it being overwhelming - everyone fits into the story and does their part. Never overstayed its welcome and is a masterclass in how a platformer can play. The gameplay and mechanics actually feel like part of the universe and story. Cannot recommend enough for anyone, no matter what your taste in games is.
Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2 are amazing. You should be doing Psychonauts 3. Psychonauts Online. Psychonauts ART, MERCH, TV SHOW, SHORTS, MOVIES ALL OF IT! You should literally be working on nothing else but Psychonauts and if you do it'll be the reason Double Fine goes out of business. I will forever recommend both Psychonaut games.
So you're telling me that in this game, Jack Black plays a gay psychic viking hippie who was in a band with a bunch of other psychics and also called himself the "Psi King?" Metal.
