Another Tim Schaffer game on the सूची and only so long after I just talked about Brutal Legend. I am aware that Schaffer games have a really weird style of creativity and humor to them and are always meant for a और niche demographic. And I am in that demographic. That said, this is Psychonauts, a game to kinda break the mold of the niche… maybe. Probably. Not really.
Psychonauts follows the character Rasputin, या Raz for short, who is a Psychonaut in training, special agents who use the power of their mind to do incredible powers. With these powers, Raz has to stop a conspiracy in the camp of other Psychonauts in training while entering the minds of all sorts of characters. And let me just say that this game is so creative that it is hard not to प्यार it. The hubworld, the camp, is interesting enough with levitating bears and all sorts of items for आप to collect, but the levels where आप explore the minds of people is where the game is really at. Some of my प्रिय levels in the game are, well hell, it’s hard to say. A majority of them are a lot of fun. My प्रिय are the minds of the asylum residents, like Boyd, Edgar, Gloria, and Fred. My प्रिय levels would be Lungfishopolis, where आप are a giant walking around and destroying the city, Waterloo World where आप play a boardgame in order to beat Fred’s rival, Gloria’s Theater which is just one big puzzle for आप to solve while ignoring the words of a rude critic. Black Velvetopia, which has so much visual style that I प्यार it. I just like that Mexican art style a lot. And my प्रिय level, The Milkman Conspiracy. आप wanna get a damn good laugh from this game, play the Milkman Conspiracy level. Brutal Legend was a pretty funny game, but all I ever got out of it was like a chuckle. In Psychonauts, I was laughing real damn hard the whole time. The characters are also a ton of fun. आप will not be able to predict what these characters’ personalities are. It’s so insane. It’s like this game was written द्वारा a madman who binged a whole lot of कार्टून in the early 2000s. I will say some of the character मॉडेल look disgusting, but I like how over-exaggerated they are. And the amount of stuff for आप to collect. Mental Cobwebs, Emotional Baggage, backstories for characters, a metric fuck ton of Mental Projections, and a bunch of other techniques for आप to learn like Pyrokinesis, Third Eye, and more.
Psychonauts is just an all around charming game and one that I प्यार to play over and over again just for the amount of insanity and humor. I didn’t know what to say when I heard that Psychonauts 2 was finally getting made, but after being able to enjoy the first game, yeah, I think it’s सुरक्षित to say I’m और than excited.
