That tooth image is horrific. Making my skin crawl.

Slightly concerned about the floaty platforming, Metro described it as more LittleBigPlanet than Super Mario, and Game Informer had issues too. Couldn't stand the platforming in LBP.

I do need to play the original on Game Pass at some point, but will probably play P2 first.

A big thanks for this! The OT will have a little mini-FAQ, and of the questions concerns resolution + frame rate on PlayStation platforms in light of there being no native PS5 version.

 

[NotLiquid]

Glancing the headlines, the Game Informer preview really stood out as a sore thumb among the rest.

 

[TheSix]

My interview is here if anyone wants to read it and my impressions are here. I'm excited to get into the full game next month but this is easily the biggest game from Double Fine and the game is GOTY material.

 

[SpottieO]

One of my most anticipated games of the year, previews have me very excited.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Psychonauts, GOTY material? Finally people are going to see it's greatness!

 

[FarSight XR-20]

I'm about to finish the first one and I love it. Previews seem super positive so really excited for the sequel.

Definitely GOTY material. Can't wait for the full game.

www.gamesradar.com

Psychonauts 2 deals with difficult themes carefully and yet without reservation, approaching each of the brain levels – a reflection of the state of mind of the person you are encountering – with empathy and without judgement. Barely an hour would go by without the game forcing me to think a little more broadly about the situation the game had placed me in or my own experience in life. I'd be laughing away at some outrageous personification of addiction or anxiety, only for a line of dialogue or metaphoric sequence of play to leave me momentarily breathless. That's part of the appeal, and genius, of what I have played of Psychonauts 2 so far: it's imaginative, intuitive, and very funny, but it's also fearless in its embrace of its subject matter. That's a rare quality to be found in a AAA game, and I can't wait to see if Double Fine can maintain that balance throughout the entire experience with it releases for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, and PS4 on August 25, 2021.

Hearing that its both a more mature take on mental health and much needed improved platforming is reassuring. The first game is great in some ways, but some parts of it aged poorly for sure.

 

[R dott B]

Looks good.

 

[RoKKeR]

Having just played the first game for the first time I truly can't wait for this, and seeing the glowing previews is only increasing my hype more.

Looks and sounds amazing! Hope enough people give it the time of day.

 

[BoxScar]

Looks good, but I never played the first one. Need to get on that before this drops.

 

[TameLucas]

Updated the OP with more links. Let me know if I missed any (I probably did!)

-

This is my most anticipated game in 2021, so I'm really happy to see the great impressions people are sharing. I hope this game gets the attention it deserves - the first one is a masterpiece.

 

[Winnie]

All of this sounds amazing.

 

[FarSight XR-20]

It was the second level I played that truly convinced me this was a special game. This level, which ends up featuring a casino mixed together with a hospital, has been shown off in video previews before this, but actually playing and exploring this wild world is still impressive. And as was often the case in the first game, the villain of this world in Psychonauts 2 is more nuanced than your average video game boss.

Click to shrink...

If the other worlds and levels in Psychonauts 2 are even half as fun, detailed, and creative as the casino and hospital mash-up, then this could end up being an easy contender for the best game of 2021.

Click to shrink...

I was provided an early digital preview copy of Psychonauts 2 by Xbox and Double Fine and while the preview build contained four main levels to play through, I tapped out after two. Not because I didn't like what I played, but because those first two levels were so good and felt so perfectly Psychonaut-y that I didn't want to see more before I can play the whole thing. I'm ready. I'm in. I can't wait to join Raz and friends on their next big adventure through various minds and worlds on August 25.

1440p60 for PS5. Nice. Better than not having any 60fps mode I think.

RE: "Which platform should I play Psychonauts 1 on?"

The PC version is the way to go. The XBL and PSN versions are just the respective original releases running via BC, so the only benefit newer consoles confer is a resolution bump.

Wow. Looks like DF has a winner. Game looks fantastic!

[Yautja_Warrior]

[francium87]

Lots going on here. Almost feels like Double Fine put all their usual weird ideas that usually go into multiple small games into this one.

 

[Black Mantis]

Looks to be shaping up well.

 

[Iwao]

That's some high praise, but not unexpected. Looks fantastic.

Never played the original, but this looks great!

The Gamespot preview is by far the best one of the four I watched so far.

Still a month to go, unfortunately.

Don't watch the Gamespot video if you value going in blind. Regret.
