I was there when it first came out. I was one of the only 11 people who played it while everyone else was enamored with Resident Evil 4. It's been quite a sight to see everyone else wake up and finally see how special and unique Psychonauts is. I just wish gamers had been smarter and didn't sleep on this back in 2005.
I mean, it was a victim of bad timing. it was a 3D platformer on a console more oriented towards shooters and other "adult" fare and launching towards the end of a generation. meanwhile Resident Evil 4 was a revolutionary game and a lot more in line with the preferred visual aesthetics of the time.
Started playing it last week and I'm loving it. I never played it on the first Xbox and now with auto HDR it just looks damn good still. Controls hold up surprisingly well for such an old game too. At first glance I thought this was a cool 3D platformer, but it has adventure elements too. And the story and characters are unique for sure. Psychonauts 2 should be awesome!
Gameplay for psychonauts is both dated and frustrating while the storytelling and narrative as a whole is a unique concept a deep dive into the sub-consious mind. I feel this game works better as a movie/cartoon than it does a videogame. There's absolutely no excuse for how shit the platforming and movement are e.g: Jak and daxter 2001 Prince of Persia sands of time 2003 Psychonauts is 2005 had you learned nothing from your teachers. Graphics & narrative are no substitution for gameplay and they've focused more on the art style than they have the actual gameplay .

This game is great. I can’t believe I didn’t play it back in the day
Top 5 3D platformer of all time 😍
Amazing review amazing narration love it.
Always been intrigued by this, definitely gonna pick it up
Raz actually attends basic braining not training lol
True but it is still training. Well spotted.
It's not visibly aged when you play it on original xbox on a CRT. Playing it again, and it still looks great.
I'm going to yry it out.
Is double fine working new ip after finishing psychonauts2
They've got ideas, yes. Even the legendary Tim Schafer might have some things rattling around up in his brain he'd like to work on.
Insightful video for a game I missed years ago, very helpful thank you.
Thank you.
