About

Double Fine Productions and Tim Shafer are known for making very curious games out of amazing ideas. Psychonauts is exactly about some idea. You have to get inside people's mind and help them fight with their fears or memories from the past.

We follow a story of Raz, who runs away from the circus and goes to the summer camp for Psychonauts - people with special abilities. They refuse to teach him but allow him to participate in "Basic Braining" course. When his talent becomes clear, he's being invited to an experiment. After receiving a vision, he realises that there's a sinister plan behind the camp and only he can save everyone there.

The game exists in two different worlds - a real one and a mental one. If the real world leaves no question about it, the mental world is one of the most interesting features of the game. Twisted minds, memories from the past and deepest fears is something you are about to encounter with. Having a number of abilities like telekinesis or invisibility will help you cure a person's psychological issue.

Psychonauts reviews and comments

Massive disappointment. I love the characters and setting, but it's too long and filler-y, and most of the puzzles are "Go here and talk to X character," not actual puzzles.
«Disappointment of the year»
«Waste of time»
One of the most imaginative 3D platformers I've ever played
«Blew my mind»
Great game with a huge difference from traditional platformers. Game controls are at best, but you have to manage lots of things while playing (like powers etc.). Game aged so you have to use some graphic mods. Story is awesome in comparison to other platformers, Dark, but if you want more gripping story than it might not be up to your expectations. Game truly shines at the comedy and one-liners. Seriously, never watched such good jokes in recent years.

Overall Game is SHOCKINGLY AMAZING!! 
«Underrated»
The milkman stage will have you pooping yourself. 10/10
«Blew my mind»
★★★
One of the best games ever
«Blew my mind»
«Time-tested»
What a trip. A unique artstyle paired with some truly memorable characters and solid gameplay
«Blew my mind»
«Underrated»
It's such a shame that this game didn't do well when it first released. A unique game with a distinct art style, brilliant humor, and superb gameplay. Truly one of the greatest games ever made.
This game is RICH. A masterpiece. Such great concept, script and attention to detail. Really cool setting and gameplay. Psychonatus has the Tim Schafer stamp all over it. One notices how much love went into its production, resutlting in one of the best action platformers of all time.
It's also kind of easy, which for me is a plus, because I still had to try like fifty times before being able to beat one of the last levels XD

Tim Schafer is never wrong and this gem of a game does not make any exceptions. Good humor, music, mood and playability. Catching history. Works smoothly with analog gamepad, so you don't have to sit around with your mouse and keyboard. If one can like a hybrid of graphic adventure games from Lucasarts and N64 platform classics like Conker's bad fur day and Banjo Kazooie (and you can), this is one of the better purchases on the App Store during the day. True story.
