How it feels

A playful, cartoon platformer that blends witty humor, psychic powers, and colorful surrealism into a lighthearted and whimsical adventure.

What players say

Players say Psychonauts 2 improves on the original in every way, especially the controls and platforming. The story balances silliness with serious themes about mental health and trauma. Some find it too easy, others call it a low cortisol game. A few report getting stuck due to bugs.
