7/27/2023 0 Comments Psychonauts 2 levels![]() ![]() You are trying to figure out who he’s working for, but it becomes quickly apparent that the amateur dentist is aware of your tricks and his mind begins to twist and change, fighting you every step of the way. Right at the start of Psychonauts 2, the game opens with a trippy set piece as you explore the mind of Dr. They pull it off, but discover he’s in a coma and now they have brought him back to HQ to figure out what to do next. Right as that happens it is reported that Truman Zanotto, Grand Head of the Psychonauts, has been kidnapped and Raz and his team of fellow Psychonauts head off to save him from the Rhombus of Ruin. For all his great work, Raz is made an official Psychonaut by an older, famous agent of the group who works at the camp. Over the course of the first game, Raz helps foil an evil plot to take over the world and stops a deranged doctor from stealing brains. To summarize: Teenager Raz is a gifted psychic who runs away from his life at the circus to join a summer camp for other psychic kids run by the Psychonauts, an international paranormal spy group that is called in to complete missions involving other psychic or strange things.

(If you haven’t played the first game or the VR spin-off this next paragraph contains some spoilers. This is also useful considering the original game was released all the way back in 2005! If you, like many, didn’t get a chance to play that VR side-adventure, Psychonauts 2 starts with a video summarizing both the events of the original game and Rhombus of Ruin. That was a VR game released back in 2017 which directly carried on from the cliffhanger ending of the first game. While the 2 at the end of the name might imply it’s a sequel to Psychonauts, it’s actually *pushes up nerd glasses* a narrative follow-up to Psychonauts In The Rhombus of Ruin. I’m happy to report that, folks, it’s more Psychonauts, but now it’s looking and playing better than ever. Now, almost six years later, the game is nearly here - and I’ve played a few early levels ahead of its August release. But then in December 2015, Double Fine ran a successful crowdfunding campaign to create the sequel. Psychonauts 2 is a game that, for a long time, felt like it was never going to happen.
