Psychonauts is still amazing 16 years later

I have it on steam and it’s too clunky for my taste.

This game plays great on PC via Steam but the platforming is a bit dated.

Who would want to play pschonauts in the first place you'd have to be a bored kid to play sht like that in the fist place this game is $h"t man don't waste your time on this reviewer twisting this games value it's shit

I find it funny we get a sequel at a time where I finish my psychonaut journey only to find out the end is the beginning, and now I even have the chance to play the first, and the disclosure is astounding, I definitely would not have gotten the message as a 9 year old child.

90% off as of now on both Xbox and Steam

Can't wait to go home today and play it

This was a really well made video that piqued my interest in playing this game even more.

Wait really? Only 100,000 copies? Wow…. and I was one of them. I LOVED this game.

Why do you look like the boyfriend from those Lilly's Garden ads?

I just finished it today, so I have no nostalgia goggles (no pun intended). It's a very VERY well made game. My only gripe is, like most games of that era, they give you all these collectables to find, but don't give you a chance to find them after the credits, limiting it's replay value.

Nice home!

Bought it on gog.

Oh wow, i didnt know it was same ppl as grim fandango. But during my playthrough of psychonauts 1 the other day I did notice the cutscenes animations were very similar to the ones in grim fandango. Curious if there's a name for those kinds of cutscenes if anyone knows.

Oddly enough, my main problem with the original psychonauts are not the controllers (I liked those controllers, they refined them in the sequel, but in the first game I think they were almost on point), but some places where it's hard to know what to do and I end roaming around (in the Milkman's Conspiracy I did some of the stuff in a different order than expected and the Ford Cruller's tips messed up).

I wanted to play through this before I played 2. I quit tonight. Genuinely one of the worst games I’ve ever played. I made it to the milkman level. It was the last straw. So poorly designed. I couldn’t take any more. Now I don’t know if I’ll bother with 2

I got this game through a Humble Bundle, and never really gave it any attention at all. Didn’t play it, didn’t even download it. Then I start hearing about it all over the place, especially since the sequel recently being released. I saw Charlie praise this game, I seen others praise this game and it being a part of their childhood. After a while of hearing about it, I figured ‘Why not? I’ll give it a shot.’
I’m currently on the Milkman Conspiracy level right now and I absolutely ADORE this game. It is well worth your time, even if I haven’t really gotten that far into it. I know the rest of the game will be a treat. If you are currently reading this right now and are on the fence or something, get the game and support these developers. I can’t wait to beat it, and nab a copy of Psychonauts 2.
Honestly the ‘clunky’ parts of this game don’t bother me a bunch. The combat is a little janky and so is platforming from here to there, but with what they did I think it, in a way, gives it its own charm among how the rest of the game is. It is really something to experience.

i played this game first time in my channel im almost in the end of the game i have to say they dont make games like this anymore im just doing walks and enjoying the world

I got Psychonauts circa 2016-2017 for free on Steam, I thought it was just one of those no-name indie games you get for free and never play.

However, the unique art style got me, and after trying it I fell in love with it. The controls feel natural on PC version. Other than that, everything is as you said – brilliant.

Will definitely buy the sequel.

69p on steam right now
