15 Reasons Why Psychonauts Is The Greatest Game Ever Made
5. The Classic Adventure-Game Aspects
Given that Psychonauts was developed by Double Fine, it should come as no surprise just how much of the game utilises aspects of classic adventure games. With that being said, Psychonauts puts a refreshing spin on the formula, turning item collecting and puzzle solving into some of the most genuinely hilarious moments in the game. Its not just about collecting objects, but rather how those objects are used; a stop sign that tricks the G-Men into thinking youre part of the road crew, a mysterious button that reveals a secret entrance in the Geodesic Psychoisolation Chambers, a turtle named Mr. Pokeylope that can be used to trigger unique dialogue responses from other characters. The items arent just cardkeys or strands of rope, but rather unique items that make the world itself funnier and more charming. Even the checklist from the scavenger hunt is comprised of bizarre and wonderful items: a turkey sandwich, a voodoo doll, a glass eye, a condor egg, a dinosaur bone.
