Everything about this game just oozes freshness. Everything about it, the writing, the art direction, the visuals, the gameplay, the character design etc. is just top notch. Writing comedy is hard and that fact that this game was able to pull off just the right amount of humour to balance the rather intricate plot of the game is just too good. I cannot reccomend this game enough. The song healing is on a loop ever since i completed the game. Lots of references to be taken from the game as humans ourselves. Yes, the first game had lots of references to mental issues but this game just takes it to the top due to its excellent writing. The dialogue exchanges were so on point that these the various mental issue references could be clearly taken in with a slight chuckle on our faces.
Coming to the characters, yes I do miss Bobby zilch, Dogen and the russian kid who talks about the bear (its been a long time since i played the first, which is a masterpiece). The new interns stand nowhere near them but that isn't an issue, its because those characters were just too good. Psychonauts 2 is a very important game and I sincerly hope game devs make games like these instead of the generic AI generated stories ubisoft or whatever makes.
This game became too close to me and it is probably the best game I have ever played in a long time. I felt like a kid again not because it was kiddish or something but because of the wonder this game had on me. From start to finish this game was unique and never was there a dull moment. I strongly reccomend this game if you're looking for a great time. Usually I reccomend video games based on the genre but this.. this is a must play... A Masterpiece.
