#Psychonauts 2

Platform: Xbox Series X/S (reviewed), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows (reviewed), Mac, Linux.

If that sounds like you, play this new game-of-the-year contender as soon as possible.

Xbox Game Pass in August is already looking incredibly exciting. For starters. IGN's Game of the Year for 2020, Hades, is coming out on August 13 for Xbox, PS4, and PS5, and will hit Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC on the same day. Not only that, but we've...

Last week I wrote that best-game-of-last-year Hades was coming to Xbox Game Pass in August, alongside some other fine games such as Curse Of The Dead Gods and Katamari Damacy.

The most important thing I can say about Psychonauts 2 is that it’s better than the original, which itself was far from a bad game. The original Psychonauts came out in 2005. It was a charming and creative 3D platformer. Those strengths helped cover up some of its flaws, including some awkward pacing and a color palette that can sometimes look a bit … pukey. Psychonauts 2 — which releases on August 25 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC — is a sleeker and prettier experience. I played it on Xbox Series X, and it colorful worlds and smooth performance often impressed me.

Psychonauts 2 is almost here (finally) and it seems the game is not only super fun, but a solid technical achievement as well. YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits has taken Psychonauts 2 for a spin on all consoles, and for the most part the news is good, although PS5 owners are in for a little more disappointment.

Critically-acclaimed "Psychonauts 2" centers on delving deep into the minds of others to help free them from the various burdens of life. The sequel, which was pushed back to 2020 and then again to 2021, has captured the attention of both fans of the original installment and newer audiences. With a stellar Metacritic rating and a unique aesthetic, it's easy to see why so many people are interested in the game.

Video games are a vehicle for escapism. When you’re stressed out, there are few feelings more relieving than getting lost in a video game world that’s not afraid to be fun, joyful, and a little bit weird. Few developers are better at achieving this balance than Double Fine. Known for...
