15 Reasons Why Psychonauts Is The Greatest Game Ever Made

15. The Supporting Characters

Psychonauts is full of characters running about Whispering Rock, or holed up at the Asylum. If you asked me to name all of them, I€™d struggle even finding a place to start. Unlike other games that have flooded themselves with extraneous characters, Psychonauts somehow manages to give each of its supporting cast a sizeable amount of personality. Some are more detailed than others, but even the most inconsequential character has a few identifiable character traits and quirks. Milka is shy and uses her invisibility to escape unwanted attention; Dogan is volatile and susceptible to manipulating, and he might also be a psychopath; Elka is domineering; Melvin is brave and loves to wrestle bears; Bobby Zilch is a bully with a crush; Maloof is a mastermind, and Clem and Crystal spend all day pretending to be super happy about everything to mask their deep sadness.
