Psychonauts 2

Pros

• Psychonauts 2, in comparison, is much more interested in the overarching plot. It’s kinda like the first game is a Saturday morning cartoon and the sequel is the theatrical movie based on the cartoon. ... I also think the art design and...

• Combat is the only terrible part of the game, really not fun at all, but the game low key, deep down, acknowledges this and offers an Easy Combat mode that makes combat trivial while keeping the platforming challenges intact. ... Overall...
