[PS4, PS5] Psychonauts 2 $63.66 (RRP $90.95) @ PlayStation Store

170

Psychonauts 2 on PS4/5. No physical copies available and first time it’s ever been discounted I believe. Represents a 30% discount.

Good for us Sony players without an Xbox and Game Pass. Follow up to the cult classic from Double Fine.

Metacritic 87/100: https://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-series-x/psychonauts-2

“Razputin Aquato, trained acrobat and powerful young psychic, has realized his life long dream of joining the international psychic espionage organization known as the Psychonauts! But these psychic super spies are in trouble. Their leader hasn't been the same since he was kidnapped, and what's worse, there's a mole hiding in headquarters. Raz must use his powers to stop the mole before they execute their secret plan—to bring the murderous psychic villain, Maligula, back from the dead.”

    Really annoyed this didn't get a proper physical release like it deserves. I'm still holding out that there will be one at some stage. There was a comment from the developer saying they were aware of the interest in a physical release:

    Double Fine had this to say: “There may be paths towards something post-launch but I also can’t make a promise on that either. We’re definitely aware of the interest!”

    I just can't bring myself to spend over $60 on a digital game. If the physical release never happens I will definitely buy this eventually but when it's much cheaper.

      Agree with you fully re physical. I remember scouring the internet for a physical copy on release day and being very confused.

      Mostly though I just want to play the game and support it by buying it. Same problem the original had funnily enough…

    My game of 2021. Absolutely brilliant

  • It’s also USD$41.99 (AUD$58.04) via the PSN US Store.

    Quite a few deals for other “Short” games of a similar status like Spider-Man Miles Morales, Sackboy Adventures, Returnal and Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy.

    YMMV on the value.

  • How long does this game take? And is it possible to find the first Psychonauts for the PS4?

    • About 10 hours

    • The first Psychonauts game is on the PS4 as a PS2 classic - currently $16.45 in Australia but I picked it up for USD$5 from their store a few years back.

      If you run through the story, could be 10 hours, but if you do side missions and look for collectables, it's quite a bit longer. I did a 100% run when it came out and it took about 32 hours.

      Psychonauts 2 is apparently 9-10 hours, to 14 hours average, to 26-33 hours for achievements.

      Typical for a lot of full price games.

      You can find the first psychonauts gets cheap occasionally

      there’s also a middle /prequel VR game called “Psychonauts in the Rhombus of ruin” which ties into the plot line for 2. https://en.psprices.com/region-au/game/1203631/psychonauts-i…

      If you don’t have PSVR, there’s a playthrough on youtube which can explain the events, for those looking for backstory. It’s not entirely necessary, you can guess most of it from clues/reveals in the main game.

  • Fantastic game, easily my GOTY so far. Easy 15-30hrs of gameplay depending on whether you want to 100% it.
