The story also helps differentiate Psychonauts 2 from other modern 3D platformers. Sometimes, I wished I was watching fewer of them and having more opportunities to get back to playing, but the cutscenes are usually funny or interesting enough that I enjoyed them. It also means you’ll watch a lot of cutscenes. The emphasis on story means that you’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk to characters, giving you an chance to learn more about your fellow Psychonauts interns and your mentors. Don’t worry, a video at the start of Psychonauts 2 catches you up if it’s been too long for you to remember what happened in those other titles (or if you never got play the VR exclusive Rhombus of Ruin). The game takes place right after the events of the VR experience Rhombus of Ruin, which itself took place right after the events of the original game.
