Rate top gamesIf you haven't played this game in the past it would be a bit harder to recommend this game to you. Don't get me wrong, it's very funny in its character design, writing, it has very imaginative levels and level design sprinkled with a good story, but at the same time, it has by today's standards bad controls, finicky camera, and bad design choices. One which immediately comes to mind is when progressing through the story you come to a point where an optional item from the store is mandatory to pass through the story. So I had to exit the level and farm arrowheads through the camp so I could buy it, then get back to the level and resume the plot. There are plenty of obtuse design choices like that and there were plenty of moments there I died because of bad controls or camera angles, but this game has a heart and I can't deny that. Try it, but know what you get yourself into!

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.

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.

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.
