In-Game Interactions
Psychonauts 2 is an excellent game that lets you interact with a beautifully written protagonist as well as an outstanding cast of supporting characters. Ashley Tisdale is great as the main character of the game, and her voice sounds realistic and natural. The voices of other characters also add to the drama of the game, as does the way the game uses appropriate music and sound effects to enhance the emotion of each scene. It’s not just the story that makes the game successful, it’s the way it’s told and executed.
What sets Psychonauts apart from many other adventure games is the in-game use of time travel. In fact, Lexy finds himself in 2021. Traveling back in time to solve the mystery that caused him to become a Psychonaut. While some adventure games have a time travel element, they tend to focus more on puzzles and solving riddles rather than exploring environments and solving situations. Psychonauts feature many memorable puzzles and adventures but also spend a lot of time describing the surroundings and explaining how each scene differs due to time travel.
