I often talk to people about why gaming has sometimes managed to lose focus on what is important and that is the sheer fun of playing games: playability. Psychonauts 2 is not the most difficult game you will ever play but it is one of the most enjoyable and will keep you coming back for more whether that be to enjoy the comedy again or to get that 100% score of collectables, pins and badges that are on offer. Good, honest gaming action is all too often overlooked in a world of graphical superlatives but Pschonauts 2 nails it all. Raz may never hit the heights of fame of Mario or Sonic but he deserves his place in 3D platforming history for being a character who resonates with the gamer. It is as madcap as the game itself and everything fits like a glove.

The music is top drawer and reminds me of old comedy Police TV Series such as Police Squad or for those of you too young to recall that, think of the Naked Gun films with Leslie Nielsen and you will start to get my meaning. It is all just so superbly put together and even the most bizarre of scenarios will quickly make sense. Sometimes it will be plain farce and on other occassions it will help you to work out what you need to do next. How often do we hear of trying to see things from another persons perspective and here you get to do just that. My favourite skill has to be clairvoyance as you enter someone or something else’s mind and see the world from their viewpoint.
Nothing feels superfluous and everything is well constructed. Skills you collect on your journey include being able to burn through posters which will often lead to hidden areas, being able to pick up items and throw them to your advantage and being able to levitate which comes in handy when the floor beneath you becomes electfified and you need to get through.
The controls have been well thought out and the use of the four trigger buttons for the skills Raz can pick up work well and are simple to navigate through. The nerve centre is lavished with colours and water features and neon lights are all around to really assault the senses but in a good way. You will encounter a dental level for example which I have to say made me cringe as I hate dentists and the bright white gnashers on display made me feel uncomfortable. As someone who has bi polar disorder myself I think I could do with a Raz every now and again!
