It's like Tim Burton met the Rayman devs and made a game about psychics in summer camp. The game is very fun, corky, and humorous with an art style can be hard to look at (especially with one of the camp bullies). If you can look past part of art style you have a solid 3D platformer and will see the charm in it. My only issue with the game was in the final level, there is a part where you chase Raz's father, specifically were there is climbable walls/nets that are partially on fire spiraling up as the room floods... . It is annoying and forces you to exploit a small section(s) you can barely stand on to get a decent jump distance. Other than than one specific annoyance the game was really fun with very unique level designs that kind of tell you about several character psychology through art direction

11/10 game super fun story awesome gameplay loved the world building with all the characters stories inter mingling this game deserves to be played by everyone who likes 3d adventure games.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your computer is running Windows 11, you'll have to go through the game files to the .exe file and set the compatibility mode to windows xp. My game wouldn't run because I didn't have the correct version of Direct3D. The "README" file in the game flies will link you to the correct version of Direct3D, though even after I downloaded it I occasionally still had issues launching the game. This game is awesome and ahead of its time. If you like lore and trippy environments then I definitely recommend Psychonauts :)

Psychonauts derives its jokes more from the level design and characters rather than pure dialogue. After a lengthy tutorial lasting until about the halfway point of the game they really start showing off their design chops and create some of the most memorable settings and characters ever put into a video game.

Psychonauts is one of the most creative, inspired, and imaginative games ever made. It is admittedly weak when it comes to the gameplay, and the pacing has some issues on a first playthrough. But these faults melt away when experiencing this games extremely charming world. Firstly, the "ugly" and asymmetric character designs (and artsyle in general) are a breath of fresh air from the perfectly clean look of modern games. The writing has aged flawlessly, and the darkish humor harkens back to early 2000's cartoons (which I LOVE). The way story and level design intertwine as you explore the minds of various characters is nothing short of brilliant, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this cult classic game, no nostalgia bias. 9/10
