The hover balloon is on a timer now, so cheesing my way around the map for figments is gone. Raz still has some returning abilities like his psy-blast, levitation, clairvoyance, and pyrokinesis. Although I preferred the jump mechanics from the previous title, the first jump is longer, and the double jump is shorter. The gameplay takes the good from Psychonauts 1 and improves upon it. Players meet a wide cast of characters who all suffer from unique mental illnesses panic attacks, sensory overloads, alcohol addiction are a few of the problems that the game explores with creative level design, clever storytelling, and fun gameplay. The path to fixing his shattered brain is a running theme in Psychonauts 2.

While the Psychonauts set out to solve some mysteries, Raz officially joins the Psychonauts as an intern, and must learn how to get along with the other interns and fix the mind of Ford Cruller. Following Loboto around the work office turned dentist playground, players relearn fights, puzzles, and powers, discovering a mysterious veiled villain in the process. The game opens with Raz exploring Loboto’s brain. Raz can use fire and clairvoyance, and all of the levels are accessed by traveling into people’s minds.Īlcohol/Drugs: Some characters are depicted smoking cigars and cigarettes some sequences reference alcohol (e.g., “Time for one more beer before we die” “Triple Whiskey Smooth-Out, and make it quick” “Try our home-brewed maple beer”). There are cries of pain from enemies, allies, and Raz.
Violence: There’s lots of use of psychic energy powers. “Trying to have a baby is exhausting”, “Well it does have its fun bits” “We used to sneak in here and fool around on the beanbags.” Also, one of the game’s subplots involves a gay couple. Sexual Themes: There’s nothing blatantly sexual in Psychonauts 2, but there are innuendos. Language: The word “a**” is heard in the dialogue. Raz must prove his worth as a Psychonaut, and explore deeper, complex mental issues than he has prior. The story of the Psychonauts and Razputin Aquato continues to unravel the rest of the story set by the first game and Rhombus of Ruin. That sentence alone has delivered joy to platformers everywhere. Double Fine Productions has released Psychonauts 2.
