Psychonauts is remarkably inventive and stylish.
Every level feels very unique, while throwing out different sorts of gimmicks and tasks you must complete using your psychic abilities as well as some occasional platforming.
The main draw for me was the excellent writing and wacky characters you meet throughout the journey as well as not knowing what to expect at any point of the game.
The difficulty curve however feels all over the place and the final segments of the game tested the extent of my sanity. Despite the occasional frustrations due to jank and some clunky mechanics it was absolutely worth the experience. And I'm looking forward to playing Psychonauts 2 down the road.
Just stay far away from the ps2 version unless you want a myriad of lengthy loading screens whenever you need to traverse the hub areas.
