Psychonauts PC Game 2005 review:
The Psychonauts stand with one foot in the bottomless swamp of the unconscious. And with the other on the solid ground of rational labor.
In our mind, summer camp is by definition crazy and unreal. What can we say about the summer camp of Tim Schafer and Eric Wolpaw ?! Their games are a chemical trip without the use of prohibited substances. A tour of other people’s dreams, a tour of the subconscious. Clarification and opacity in one bottle.
By the way, about digging in the brains. Strangers and friends. What do you like more – psychology or parapsychology? Neuroses, syndromes, phobias, denials, repression, compensation. Or telepathy, clairvoyance, levitation, astral projection, out-of-body experience. Forget it, you no longer have to choose between interesting and useful! Art and commerce. Gameplay and plot. Innovation and tradition. It’s so hard to reconcile all the extremes when making games. But the success of this experiment lies not in cutting off the excess, but in the merging of opposites.
Every impulse of enthusiasm and imagination is deftly captured, like a sketch in the open air, and then painstakingly brought to mind in the artist’s studio. The basic elements of an acrobatic 3D platformer are turned upside down in a kaleidoscope of unique circumstances. On the same foundation, levels grow as dissimilar as members of the same family are different. The local “open world” is small and cozy, like an attic in an old mansion. And just as full of surprises and opportunities.
Pros of Psychonauts:
- + The Story is interesting and fun
+ The idea and level-design are great
+ Good soundtrack and voice acting
+ Some of the jokes are pretty good
