Psychonauts 2 is without a doubt the best 2021 game I've played yet, it's a wonderful combination of amazing characters, dialogue, and great gameplay. The game is incredibly beautiful, the animations are very fluid and controlling Raz is very fun, I'm happy that Double Fine took all the time they needed to achieve this. I loved the creative worlds inside people's minds, at the same time I felt the craziness of the first game is somewhat missing in this one. Don't get me wrong, the levels in 2 are awesome but I missed the variety and gimmicky levels 1 had, but 2 for sure has better platforming. The combat in 2 is much better than 1, I liked how the battles are paced, bosses are awesome. But in 2 you have so many abilities and it's not exactly good to be constantly switching them during battle. I also have to praise the music and all the voice actors in the game, they did and incredible work. I'm a big fan of 3D platformers and it's great to see developers other than Nintendo doing it, I want to see more of this.

If you like Psychonauts 2, I really recommend giving the first game a try. I know it may not be easy to go back to a 2005 game but it's so worth to experience it
