I know Meta isn't the be all and end all, but a perfect review score from the Guardian just pushed Psychonauts 2 up to a Metascore of 88 after it was sitting at 87 for a couple of days.

I cannot wait to properly jump into this in a few hours. Will it unseat Flight Sim as my GOTY?
That's bloody brilliant. GOTY calibre, couldn't be happier for DF. Will probably be the most critically acclaimed game on OC (or very close to it) this year.

Not that they necessarily needed a confidence boost, but I sure hope the reception of this game gives Double Fine all the juice they need to really push the boundaries of thier next game, whatever it is. A new IP I believe I read somewhere.

I'm finishing the casino area now and absolutely love this game, but the inconsistent lip sync is really annoying me. I don't know why but it's triggering an OCD thing that is pulling me right out of the game. Sometimes it seems good, but other times the mouths are full words off.
I caught Hollis saying a full line without moving her mouth. I thought she was communicating telepathically for a second until the next line came out fine. Definitely weird especially since I like the characters' faces.

I have a mere 3060 and this game looks and runs so good. Capped to 70% resolution scale and 100fps (which it hits most of the time). Absolutely gorgeous on an LG CX.

At the point of no return, so I'm trying to finish off the overworld stuff before I continue, I'm missing 1 PSI Challenge Card in the Questionable Area, anyone got any ideas?

Don't think so. That's why they warn you to finish your business before continuing.

So after you
get Ford's third shard and reunite his mind
you can't get back to the mother lode until you finish the game?

It didn't seem I was near the end and didn't think it was the point of no return. I mean there's still a few missions left

don't think you can. there is a fast travel station where i am
green needle gulch
but raz won't enter it to allow you to go back.
either way not to worry, you can definitely return later. after all, how else are you supposed to get in those doors with the narrow slots?

Yes you can revisit areas, but someone have said that there's two achievements that you can miss.

Yes, like I mentioned earlier there are two missable achievements but both are fairly early in the game and you can always speed run a new save with the narrative mode to get them quickly if you miss them.

Thank you kindly 🙂

Yeah, I'm shocked I haven't seen more about it. I know the game is otherwise amazing, but it's just really jarring to see. If they could just fix that, this would be an absolutely perfect follow-up. It's just so damn good, but my OCD is punishing me, lol.

I don't know where are you playing but i can assure you that lip sync is perfect on PC. It has to be a bug.

Put in a lot of time today. I'm about 50% through now although I've only 100% one area so far and I plan to do that for most of them. What a love letter of a game. My favorite level/world has been the
psi king
so far. What a gem of a level. So clever. So unique.

Got a Series S pretty much just for this game and the creativity here is absolutely insane. I'm hopefully not too far into the game since I just made it to the Casino but it's already incredible, and it reminds me of just how much that first game meant to me back then.

Can't wait to see what else they come up with. I can already tell this is going to be Double Fine's best game to date.

my only issue is how raz starting to give hints nonstop even at slightest resemblance of a puzzle situation.
at least add an option to disable it. gets annoying.

I'm maybe 3-4 hours into this but it's easily my GOTY so far.

What an absolutely incredible, one of a kind experience.

Watch "1" on Streamable.

thought it doesn't have hdr on pc
it doesn't. for whatever reason microsoft supports hdr on xbox but won't do the same for its pc titles (see: halo MCC). think this time it's auto-HDR from the console doing all the work though
