Review: Psychonauts 2 is one of the most memorable platformers in years

While combat can be frustrating, few games manage to be as consistently inventive as Double Fine's psychic sequel

The sequel to 2005’s Psychonauts was revealed at The Game Awards in 2015, with Double Fine going on to raise over $3.8 million on crowdfunding platform Fig to help develop the title for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One.

Following a series of delays, Psychonauts 2 was eventually released digitally for PC and consoles in August 2021, with the game also optimised for Xbox Series X/S. Mac and Linux versions followed in May 2022.

While there was no physical retail release for the game, some Fig backers were able to secure a boxed copy when the project was crowdfunded.
