this exceeded my expectations in many ways but was also underwhelming in a few aspects.

I love how many Ideas were explored visually, story- and gameplay-wise. This is a game I would show people who say video games aren't art, I'm still baffled at how good this game looked and how high quality the production felt, considering it was made by a comparatively small studio. The plot is also more interesting than the predecessor, even though some characters are a bit bland and feel like they don't add too much. It deals with similar themes as the first game, but does it better and more in-depth. All levels were very unique visually and had different gameplay approaches.

However, I feel like it focuses a lot more on combat than the first game, while still feeling pretty clunky in this regard. The movement in general doesn't feel too great as well and if the game didn't look so good and had so many refreshing ideas, it would get repetitive quickly.

Psychonauts 2 is one of the best 3D Platformers out there but I still believe there is a lot room to improve things and make a more fun experience
