Psychonauts is based on the exploits of Raz, a young boy gifted with psychic abilities who runs away from the circus to try to sneak into a summer camp for those with similar powers in order to become a "Psychonaut". He finds that there is a sinister plot occurring at the camp that only he can stop from happening. The game is centered on the widely strange and imaginative minds of various characters that Raz enters as a Psychonaut-in-training in order to help them overcome their fears or memories of their past, so as to gain their help and progress in the game. Raz gains use of several psychic abilities during the game that are used for both attacking foes and solving puzzles.
While the game received strong critical praise and gained a large fan following, Psychonauts suffered from poor sales and publisher Majesco suffered financial difficulties relating to Psychonauts and other titles in its catalogue.... (more)(less)

"2005: Editor's Choice
unfortunately this critic's darling didn't fly off the shelves, and it wound up selling fewer than 90,000 copies across all platforms. It isn't quite what you would expect for one of the most well-written and fun games in recent memory."
