Psychonauts

Post by captain ahar »

just bought this the other day. i like it fine, but one thing really disturbs me... when it comes to the best things in the game, the actual playability of it doesn't rank in the top 5.

its funny, nice art direction, great setpieces, characters, etc. but right now, as a game it seems like its bordering on the meh. granted i'm not very far, approaching the end of the Goggolor segment. those who have played it, does it pick up the pace?

I'm afraid it doesn't improve. It remains pretty easy and standard platfomer stuff throughout. However, each level is different and fun, with the exception of a few frustrating levels.

Underneath the cool art style and story, it's just another collect-a-thon platformer.

incidentally, i'm liking it more now. finally played it again over the break from school and got into "the neighborhood."

worth noting that my larger appreciation still has nothing to do with actual gameplay. i just love all the agents. ^_^

And i love the milkthief raz in aura view.
