84 / 100"Psychonauts doesn't reinvent the platformer, but it still delivers an experience that feels wholly original in every aspect of its execution."
Eurogamer
80 / 100"What's unavoidable is the fact that almost all of the problems that weigh Psychonauts down are borne out of the legacy that the platform genre itself has, and Double Fine -...
IGN
87 / 100"The first half of this game is easily one of the most enjoyable I've had in the past year. But as is the case with many humorous games, the laughs begin to fade in the home...

I bought this to use on steam deck and the controls do not map properly. There's janky workarounds but it is not a smooth weekend. Would not recommend on steam deck.

An incredibly creative and well-aged 3D platformer, with levels and abilities that are really well-designed and sometimes break the boundaries of the genre. The story is really well-written as well, with every single character in the cast having a decent level of depth.
