Get your head in the game! In the gorgeous platformer Psychonauts 2, you wield awesome psychic powers as the spirited spy-in-training Razputin Aquato. When you’re not being hazed by your hilarious fellow interns, you’ll navigate breathtaking 3D mindscapes – clobbering mental monsters like Bad Moods and Panic Attacks along the way – as you hunt for the sinister Maligula.

While the story picks up just days after the events of 2005’s Psychonauts, don’t worry if you didn’t play the original – a charming prologue will get you all caught up.

What we love: The wildly imaginative worlds. When Raz psychically dives into the minds of quirky characters, he might find himself exploring a trippy music festival in a beat-up van or using telekinetic powers to compete in a frenzied cooking show. (Listen for Jack Black as the voice of the PSI King, a band leader with a rockin’ set of pipes.)

Quick tip: When you find your first Otto-Matic shop, buy the PSI Fold Wallet – it’ll allow Raz to carry up to 1,000 Psitanium. The more cash you can carry, the more you can spend on cool upgrades for your abilities!
