For me, that was a direct representation of complicated minds that needed mending. By now you may have guessed that each world is either trippy or wacky. Similarly, other worlds explore themes such as a casino or a cooking show hosted by puppets. Each mental world has a theme related to things that each of the six founding members dislike or fear.įor example, the first world has a dental theme, signifying Dr Loboto’s hatred for the tooth doctor. Since the game deals with a lot of internal conflicts, anxiety, and other forms of mental health, each mental world is drastically different from the other. Raz must invade each of their minds with their permission to help them overcome their fears and mental problems. However, each of the six founding members has suffered greatly from the devastating battle with Maligula from the previous game.
The initial story involves Raz finding a mole in the Psychonauts organisation and reuniting the founding members of the organisation to keep evil at bay. Once you are introduced to the world of Psychonauts 2 and the narrative, you’re introduced to new and returning characters to get the story going. You play as Raz, who is an intern at the Psychonauts, a secret organisation that works to keep peace around the world by investigating paranormal entities and psychics. The opening missions teach you everything you need to know about the world, the mechanics and powers that will come in handy in the rest of the game. You don’t need to worry though as Double Fine have put together a spectacular recap of the original game right before you start Psychonauts 2. If you’ve never played the original game, you might be confused as to what is happening in the story.
The team is now trying to find out who Dr Loboto was working for and why he is protective of this villain’s identity. The game picks up right where Rhombus of Ruin had left off where you and your team capture Dr Loboto during a mind heist. After playing the very first level, my concerns were put to rest because it felt as if the gap of 16 years never happened. When a new Psychonauts was announced six years ago, I was sceptical about the game simply because I was worried whether it would retain its original charm.
It has been 16 years since we played the main Psychonauts game which in itself feels like an eternity.
