It took me a minute to realize how the controls work on the Steam Frame - by looking around and pressing in the thumbsticks - but once I was in, hoo boy what an experience it was. This game is basically... well, it's a point and click adventure game! It eases you into unlocking and using your various psychic powers from the original game, and it does so in a way where it makes you feel like you really are using those psychic powers. And man, what a cool experience that is. The puzzles are not very hard - usually it just takes a bit of looking around and trying things out. But they're fun in their own right. This, to me, feels like a solid Psychonauts experience and a worthy addition to the series. I do feel like they could go back in and update a few things for the modern VR experience, but I got used to things quickly and it wasn't too much of a bother. If you like Psychonauts, this is a definite recommendation from me.
I don’t have a VR headset, and I just bought the game. Honestly, I don’t even care whether I get to play it or not. Recently, Double Fine went through major layoffs. I’m a true Psychonauts fan. I still remember when the game was first announced on MTV Turkey. I’ll never forget that day. The ideas shown in that trailer were so mind-blowing.
It's soooo good I love it, a nice short and sweet bridge in between Psychonauts 1 and 2, and just a rlly good VR Physics Puzzler, It's so peak, I'm so glad I finally got to play it (kinda had to cheat in the last 3 story achievements because they didn't pop for some reason, VR bs, VR pisses me off sometimes)
Rhombus of Ruin is a direct sequel to the first Psychonauts game and works as a bridge between the first and the second mainline games. After a 13 year break, it's interesting that they chose to make a VR experience. I used a Valve Index in my playthrough, and if it wasn't for a guide it would have been an extremely frustrating experience, as the controls are very unintuitive and you can't change the key bindings. Other VR controllers might have an easier time. After restarting the game the controls for the controllers also got reversed, for some unknown reason. Other than that, I didn't have any technical issues nor did I encounter any bugs. The game itself is very reminiscent of the first Psychonauts, both in humour and story. It's also a very short experience of around two to three hours. If you like Psychonauts and have access to VR, might as well grab it on a sale to get some closure for the cliffhanger. All achievements are also easy to get thanks to chapter selection. All in all, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is evidently a game from the early days of VR, and despite its shortness it still has that Double Fine polish and the charm of the original Psychonauts. 7,5 / 10
Rhombus of Ruin is a great short title, the hours on this review is literally how long it took to beat the game (albeit I did use a nudging guide at 1 or 2 parts). The Cons: - Rhombus of ruin suffers from the same things a lot of modern VR titles do where the control scheme is only set for one type of headset, so using others gets a bit disorienting, for instance I have a Valve Index and the button mapping was different as opposed to what they show you in the tutorials for how to use the powers. - Story wise its good, but its a very short game so very little is actually furthered by the story aside from a lot of gags and one of the previous enemies from Psychonauts 1 getting a backstory. - Yapping, if you're slightly stuck on any puzzle or taking slightly too long (especially around the train sequence) the characters do NOT stop talking, which has always been a gag but they don't use it as a gag its meant to be helpful hints or just dialogue but it does not stop long enough before old voice lines get replayed over and over again, as well as if you click through a section a little too quickly or miss click you miss entire dialogue's for moving ahead to quickly. The Pros: - Short and sweet, you get into the game, the story is straightforward and doesn't add anything contradictory or confusing with Psychonauts 1, aside from the hang ups on Raz and Lily's relationship which continous in Psychonauts 2, and the fact that Ford Cruller is not with the gang despite leaving with them in Psychonauts 1. - The graphics are the best in modernizing Psychonauts style, it brings the old playstation 2 graphics to the modern age while looking clean but keeping the same visual style, unlike Psychonauts 2 which is similar but somewhat offputting by their attempts to retain the style but upscaled. Overall for a short title bridging Psychonauts 1 & 2 its pretty good to cover the short space between the two, maybe unfortunate for those who missed out on it because they don't own VR, but yeah if this game is on sale for cheap its a decent two hours of your time.
