He may have a knack for this psychic stuff, but he still has a lot to learn. This works really well with the fact that Raz is still a kid, and both the game and its characters acknowledge that. Raz's time running around the HQ and learning from his elders not only teaches you the game's mechanics and powers, but also allows Raz to stumble into information he likely wouldn't have found otherwise.

But Psychonauts 2 shines brilliantly because it manages to sustain the energy of the PS2 era it hails from and Double Fine's signature humor, while making things feel fresh and real enough to rival current gen debut titles. After all, a game following up a title from over ten years ago has a whole lot to catch up to. I went into Double Fine’s latest release with no expectations.
