Just about all of his powers from the first game are present, with less popular abilities like Confusion and Invisibility being omitted. Psychonauts 2 on the other hand, maintains the continuity of Raz going on this adventure mere days after graduating from the Psychic Summer Camp. Most games have the protagonist needing to relearn their abilities in order to progress the story and get past specific barriers.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Raz’s psychic abilities that he learned in the first game were still present in his repertoire. If I missed a jump, it was due to an error on my part and not the game’s fault. The controls are tight and highly responsive, which is always appreciated in any sort of platformer. The camera is actually reliable most of the time and I had only a couple instances when it went a little haywire trying to navigate around the environment. However, the platforming aspects of the game have been vastly improved since the original, coming as close to a perfect 3D platforming experience as your likely to find anywhere. Psychonauts 2 plays pretty much the same as the first game, with players controlling Raz and using a host of psychic abilities to defeat enemies and get past obstacles. They manage to save Truman and escape the base, with the game ending as their on their way back to the Psychonaut Headquarters, the Motherlobe.īehold, the Psychic Six! Well, four of them anyway. Loboto has a change of heart and reveals that he was tasked by someone else to abduct Truman. Loboto, is behind the kidnapping of Truman Zanotto. After being captured, Raz frees himself and everyone else, and then discovers that ex-dentist, Dr. Raz discovers that Truman is being held in a facility in a dangerous section of the ocean known as the Rhombus of Ruin. Following the events in the first Psychonauts game, Raz, his fellow cadet Lili, and their professors are called upon to save Truman Zanotto, the Grand Head of the Psychonauts who is also Lili’s father. Don’t worry, there’s still all the zany shenanigans and satirical commentary in Psychonauts 2 that we’ve come to know and love.įor those who may not have played Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, here’s a brief synopsis. That sort of self-aware humor is woven in throughout the whole game, but not obnoxiously so. Being a Psychonauts game, the whole thing is presented in a tongue-in-cheek manner, with Raz even making comments upon revisiting the Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp that he hasn’t been there in days, an obvious nod to the fact that we’ve been waiting for sixteen years to revisit this world. Psychonauts 2 picks up right after the events of Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, and by that I mean immediately after it. Step right up and behold the magic of insanity!
