The guy who had issues with squirrels was the only funny parts that I can recall of the original. Reminds me of the monkey and Chris from Family Guy.

How good is this likely to be? I've not played the original.

I hope this game is a behemoth, a force of nature that comes out of nowhere to bring goodwill to gaming!

Too quirky and janky to please the journos who value polish over everything (to the point where devs polish off all the edges and the game bores me to death). I expect low 80s.

This is like poor man’s R&C Rift Apart, right?
Just asking, never played the series.

It’s a 3D platform action game similar to the Ratchet series, and other such games. I wouldn’t call it a poor mans anything considering the critical and fan reception the first game received.

No more than R&C is a poor man's Mario. Like both games have a jump button and new attacks you can unlock but that's about it.
Psychonauts has a lot more story, character and world building, some light adventure game elements, and a mind-bending surreal setting. They're not that similar.

I mean the first game flipped hard. But 15+ years later it's still remembered as a classic. So what really matters in the end?

Im playing the first now for the first time. Zero nostalgia.
This game is a damn masterpiece. Still totally holds up today. I didnt realize this game did the Mario galaxy gravity flipping trick first. The story and characters are great. Some of the best bosses in a platformer ever like the lungfish battle which almost reminds me a vr platformer camera 15 years ahead of its time. If part 2 lives up to the level of part 1 or greater this game could be the most underrated game since The Ascent.
Its totally worth it to play part 1 now. Its great.

At first I was wondering to myself WTF are you smoking.
And then I read this part.
Thinking Family Guy is funnier than Psychonauts...

Psychonauts 2 has a lower budget sure, but if the first game is anything to go by, then it will have vastly superior voice acting, writing, Gameplay and all round creativity.
I started watching a let's play of the new R&C (Radbrad, he seemed bored), but when you get past the decent budget, the game just comes across as uninspired and dull, it's was the epitome of generic I'd say.
Psychonauts 2 is a crowdfunded indie game for the most part, so expectations need to be tempered, but from I've seen, it just oozes charm and ingenuity and has a giant hub and many very different worlds to explore.
I'd take that over a linear shooter (that is literally on rails a lot of the time) with uninspired guns, some flashy set pieces, a pretty lick of paint and fast loading to new linear worlds (which is cool and all, but gets old when you realise it's all scripted.) It was highly overrated imho.
I know which one people will be talking about 10 years from now.

It looks like a lot like the first one with better graphics. That's not a bad thing. Looks like it has all the imagination and zaniness that the first one had.
I played through the first one back when it first released on PC (when they still made disk releases for PC) and enjoyed it. Was replaying it on PS4 and got as far as the boss fight in Gloria's Theater (roughly the 75-80% point), then Ghost of Tsushima's DLC unlocked, so I'm playing through that now. I doubt I'll be going back to finish the first one (PS2 on PS4 leaves a lot to be desired), I'll just move on to the new one once I finish GoT.
