Psychonauts is a cult-classic action adventure platformer from Double Fine Productions, sitting alongside characterful PC staples like Beyond Good and Evil and the more whimsical end of the 3D platformer era. You play as Razputin, a runaway kid with genuine psychic powers who sneaks into a summer camp for psychics, then ends up diving into other people’s minds to sort out what is going wrong. Expect imaginative levels, oddball humour, and a story that leans into the strange without losing its heart.
Who is this for?
If you like platformers with personality and you can tolerate slightly older visuals and camera quirks, Psychonauts still lands. The real draw is the mental worlds, each one built around a character’s fears, obsessions, or trauma, with puzzles and combat that change to match the theme.
- Single player campaign focused on exploration, platforming, and light combat
- Psychic powers that unlock new routes and puzzle solutions as you progress
