15 Reasons Why Psychonauts Is The Greatest Game Ever Made
3. Clairvoyance Is Awesome!
Not only is Clairvoyance a great tool for puzzle solving, its also the best running gag in the whole game. Essentially, it allows Raz to perceive himself through the eyes of other characters, giving him a unique insight into how other people view him. For example, Bobby Zilch sees Raz as a punching bag; J.T sees him dressed as a cowboy; Maloof sees him as a mob boss; Lili (the romantic interest) sees Raz as a dashing prince with a rose. Not only are the insights hilarious, they also reveal a lot about the characters themselves. Coach Oleander sees Raz as nothing but an enormous brain, symbolising his desire to exploit Razs psychic potential; Sasha Nein sees Raz as a younger version of himself, implying that Sasha recognises something of himself in the young cadet. Like the memory vaults, its a great way to communicate important information without expressing it verbally. Its also incredibly funny.
