There are some games that get made with so much love, passion, devotion and genuine artistry, it's genuinely heartwarming to hear a team is revisiting their project for a followup.

Such is the case with Psychonauts 2; Tim Schafer and Double Fine's revisit to the mind-bending antics of the original.

With a basic premise that Inception did a far more in-depth take on, you were learning how to be a 'Psycadet' - a mind-infiltrating specialist who fights the manifestations of any host's unwanted thoughts and desires, to hopefully help them in the long run. This gave way to all sorts of fantastic level designs and an expertly written, hilarious script.

Psychonauts 2 sees Raz having passed his training, being forced to reevaluate the hierarchy of the Psychonaut Training Facility itself. The result is a game that looks to be slightly more mature than the almost Harry Potter-esque feel of the original, but will still come with that trademark Schafer charm.
