This game did not work on my steam deck. The camera kept spinning and it was unplayable. So please be aware if you are planning to play it on a steam deck. Because of that steam deck issue, I played it on my desktop PC and it was great. The level designs are very creative and I really liked how they tried to tackle mental illness in a very creative way. Platforming and collecting is fun and engaging too. I really recommend this game.

A great example on how to make a great family game for everyone to enjoy, it's a fun platformer with cool psychic abilities to spice up the gameplay and it has great humor, definitely recommend it!

This game was a really fun platformer with a unique story that never felt boring or dragged on too long. Since it's from 2005 though, theres a whole lot of jank in terms of controls and missing jumps so if you can get through that, I'd highly recommend it still. I played with a controller for 95% of the game but you do need a mouse to navigate some settings when paused. In terms of completion, clean up is not too bad but being able to find all the figments can be terrible even with the use of a guide.

Imagine if Tim Burton and Jim Carrey went to therapy together but ended up opening a summer camp for training people to break into each other’s minds. The gameplay feels like a soulful platformer: you jump, collect and lose yourself on levels that look like the designers brainstormed after three cups of coffee and two cups of mushroom tea. Psychonauts is when you expected action but got therapy and realized you kind of love it.
