Psychonauts 2 hands-on — A mindful adventure

I love 3D platformers. Many of these games — like Super Mario Odyssey, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart — have been among my all-time favorites in the last few years. And now another could be joining that list.

Psychonauts 2 comes out August 25 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. I had a chance to play a preview build of the game, which let me explore the first few hours of the adventure, including a look at the platformer’s first two levels and its intriguing hub space.
