Unusual levels like this hospital-casino combo drew plenty of praiseĮdwin Evans-Thirlwell gave the game a "Recommended" rating for Eurogamer, saying it took the premise of its predecessor - each level is the mind of one character, shaped by their personality and populated by their personal demons - and approached it with a more mindful and modern sense of responsibility around mental health.
#DARK THOUGHTS PSYCHONAUTS 2 PS2#
"Psychonauts 2 shines brilliantly because it manages to sustain the energy of the PS2 era it hails from and Double Fine's signature humor, while making things feel fresh and real enough to rival current gen debut titles," Galiz-Rowe said. It may have taken 16 years for the original Psychonauts to get a sequel, but Psychonauts 2 is by most accounts a faithful follow-up that captures the charm and novelty of the original while improving upon many of its predecessor's shortcomings (even if it doesn't always fix them outright).Īs of this writing, the game sports a Metacritic average between 86 (Xbox One version) and 89 (PC), none more effusive with praise than that of VG247's Ty Galiz-Rowe, who gave it five our of five stars while proclaiming it "a strong new Game of the Year contender." Whatever issues they may have with the game, they appear to be outweighed by affinity for the studio's distinctive humor and imagination, and a narrative about flawed people navigating the mental issues and hang-ups that threaten to hold them down.
Reviews for Double Fine Production's Psychonauts 2 are out, and from what we've seen, the critics are largely in agreement.
