Exciting News for PlayStation Plus Members!

What to Expect in Psychonauts 2
The monthly updates, accessible to members at all levels of the Sony service, include popular titles like Stardew Valley and Viewfinder. However, Psychonauts 2 is the game that is sure to capture even more attention due to its originality and eccentricity.
Here’s a snippet from our review of Psychonauts 2:
“If you’ve played any Double Fine game before, you know what to expect – a dose of brilliance and irreverence that will keep you intrigued from start to finish. While pursuing a sequel that pays homage to a cult classic from 2005, the team may have wanted to maintain a strong part of its essence. While this is highly beneficial for the design and style of visuals or scenarios, the same cannot be said for the platforming or combat gameplay. There are moments that are sensational and highly creative, but others not so much. Part of the charm of Psychonauts 2 is respecting the legacy of a game that is 16 years old, which forces you to balance the brilliant and the less good. If you can manage that, you’ll discover a game that is hard to forget.”
