Psychonauts review
Exceptional
by Victor

Jesus CHRIST I fucking despise platformers. But this? This gets a pass for being the best-designed, funniest and weirdest adventure this side of the realm. God imagine if every game was written as well as this.

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.

One of the most imaginative 3D platformers I've ever played

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!!

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.

So in the beginning I was very skeptical about the running behavior because of the reviews. But after I decided to load it and the first start worked well I was absolutely surprised what is required. For a graphic from the year 2005, it looks really great and it also controls control - if it does not work with the mouse, simply use the arrow keys. For me at least the game was worth it. It pleases me very well therefore a clear purchase recommendation. iMac 24 "2.93 GHz 4 GB RAM OS X 10.6.8

Platform game with humor and character I haven't seen. Criticism for the clouds, but still sold nothing as it was too srt. Psychonauts are not played by people who like P4 or watching TV3 / TVNorge. Psychonauts are actually good. This is perhaps my favorite game, and believe me - I've played a lot. As a game reviewer, I should keep something objectively, but Psychonauts has inspired me to study further on psychology and gave me hp that there is intellect in the world.
