15 Reasons Why Psychonauts Is The Greatest Game Ever Made

11. Levitation is Awesome

I really can€™t stress this enough: the levitation ability is really, really awesome. It changes nearly everything about how you play, from the way you approach the platforming to the ease by which you can traverse the landscape. The power-up grants the player the ability to project a €˜thought bubble€™ beneath his feet, allowing him jump higher, move faster, bounce and float over obstacles. Later in the game, the bubble can be upgraded into a powerful weapon, essentially becoming a wrecking back that can power through enemies and clear paths. It€™s also the only PSI ability in the game that can be customised by the player, altering colour depending on your own preferences.
