• Leap acrobatically through the air, traversing tightropes and trapezes in a varied, challenging, and joyful platforming experience.

Will it be neat, or too little too late?
Also, isn't Double Fine some sort of "indie" studio? Or so they still claim? Because $70/€60 is a bit steep. Or am I just stuck in the 90s?

Saw gameplay of first psychonauts in GMTK video, fell in love with it immediately. was happy to hear that it was getting sequel, surprised that more people are not talking about this game (even back at last E3 hardly anyone mentioned it).

As much as I loved the first one, I never did finish it. I gotta go back and do so before playing this one!

When did that happen?

Hmm, I did always say Tim Schafer did his best work when he had someone to rein him in.

 

[AxlSt00pid]

Just yesterday I tried the first game for the very first time and I'm loving it so far, so I will definitely buy this one too

 

[subcon959]

Played a couple hours of it today and it's alright if a bit meh. It was kind of nostalgic as at times I experienced the same platforming frustration that was there with the first one all those years ago.

Finally long wait is over and loved 1st part on XBOX OG

A little late on the news, this trailer has been available for a bit. I have been waiting for this game since 2006, after finishing the first one while in my training school on Fort Leonard Wood. I just don't understand why it took so long. Loved it on the PS2 Slim on my 7" DVD player, back when those were a thing. I am so happy this game has arrived. This visuals of the first game were just awesome, the colors and artwork and the character and creature designs, just joys to behold!

Finally! This was close to HL3 when it comes to how long it took..

 

[Willgheminass]

I just finished the first one minutes ago. Reminder that you can pick the first one up on Steam for $1. I will get the sequel ASAP

 

[CoolMe]

I like the character designs here. Though don't know if the game engine used takes advantage of the current-gen hardware or not, probably not but whatever i guess.

 

[diggeloid]

Fuck that looks amazing, and I loved the hell out of the first one. Hopefully it works through proton, otherwise I'll probably never play it

 

[FAST6191]

Actually a surprisingly good trailer -- story, worldbuilding, gameplay, characters all blended quite nicely. Though I suppose classic James Bond spoof is usually likely to get you somewhere.

As much as I loved the first one, I never did finish it. I gotta go back and do so before playing this one!

Depending upon where you put the controller down (I usually find talking to people it is somewhere around the milkman) then you probably played the best bits. The last battle was not bad but the bulk of the good stuff was earlier on for me.
Though finishing it is not going to ruin it either.

shame no physical release on any platform :S, i will get it when they decide to do one for any console really, i like my physical discs specially if they are from 3d platformers
