This is my second time playing this game. I played it when I was little and I still love it to this day. The game tackles complex psychology subjects through humor and fun gameplay. I love all the super powers you get and how each leveled is creative, stylized, and different from the next. This is a fun adventure, best played by teens or above. There is alot of deeper meanings in the psychonauts world about dealing with loss, feeling worthless, being forgotten, being abandoned, and abuse. There are very dark topics but the game keeps the mood funny.

Psychonauts is a very creative game in terms of its concept. Your play as Raz, a gifted young psychic who had escaped from the circus to become a psychonaut. Raz has to invade other characters psyches to unravel the mystery surrounding the psychonaut's camp. pros: Phychnauts allows the player to visit a variety of unique worlds, these words represents different character's inner psyches. The worlds are very creatively done, my favorite is the twisted "milkman conspiracy' level. The graphics are inventive and the voice work in the game is excellent. Each of the voices matches the character it belongs to perfectly. The dialog is also very witty. The platforming action, while not very original still is fun and engaging. cons: The game suffers from bugs which can make you permanently stuck forcing you to load your last save point. One of these bugs is in the lake area. When Raz gets to control a boat the boat can get stuck on the near-by wooden walkway, a clipping bug. Another bug is in the object levitation training area. If you shoot the 1st object you are forced to levitate it will become un-movable. This will get you stuck permanently, again. The game has few other glitches too. It is amazing that glitches this big made it into the final product even though the game spend many years in development.Read full review
Psychonauts is an odd game - odd in an utterly quirky and bizarre way! You play as Raz, and you have snuck into a psychic summer camp in the hopes of training to be the ultimate Psychonaut. The story follows the tasks you have to perform and the crazy bunch of characters you meet along the way. There are a few games out there that get the PS2 to push out some fabulous graphics. Unfortunately Psychonauts isn't one of them. The graphics are good but could have been better to complement the oddball theme. That being said, the environments that Raz interacts with are very colorful and vibrant. As the gameplay goes, Psychonauts uses a lot of the elements common in 3D platformers these day, so it won't take you long to learn how to swing from bars, perform double-jumps, and grind those rails. While controlling Raz isn't particularly difficult, I found the menu system slightly unintuitive, and equip items becomes a little annoying. Raz starts off with only a few powers and as you progress through the various mental worlds, you can develop new ones. You can, however, equip only three psychic powers at one time. This can be a little bothersome. There is some replayability once you have completed the game, as you can go back to collect the items that you missed. You will gain a secret bonus for your efforts. The sound in this game is good. I found that the music and the dialogue fitted in quite nicely with the moods and themes throughout the game's environments. Overall, I would give this game 4 out of 5. The concept and story are very original but it is let down by the graphics which I believe is the game's biggest weakness. Despite this, the good storyline, manageable controls, and quirky humor help to make Psychonauts a very enjoyable platformer.Read full review
A unique take on the point and click adventure formula. Requires a but more patience than many platformers due to its puzzle solving elements and some of the mechanics not working properly (very noticeable late in the game). Regardless a game that should be experienced due to its atory, characters and visuals. Buy it digitally on ps4 or xbox for the HD.

I love that this game takes you into the human mind. It's so in-depth and beautifully imagined. The graphics are a bit outdated, but this game was made six years ago. The important part is the plot and actual gameplay, and this game has yet to be outdone. I borrowed this game when it came out and had to buy my own copy because even six years later, I still remembered how much fun I had playing this amazing, interesting game. I feel like this game exercises your mind as well as your thumbs, and I'd definitely suggest it to any player, child or adult. I bought this game because it is wonderful and awesome, and I am not disappointed.
