What players say
I don't have a VR headset, and I just bought the game. Honestly, I don't even care whether I get to play it or not. Recently, Double Fine went through major layoffs. I'm a true Psychonauts fan. I still remember when the game was first announced on MTV Turkey. I'll never forget that day. The ideas shown in that trailer were so mind-blowing.

It's soooo good I love it, a nice short and sweet bridge in between Psychonauts 1 and 2, and just a rlly good VR Physics Puzzler, It's so peak, I'm so glad I finally got to play it (kinda had to cheat in the last 3 story achievements because they didn't pop for some reason, VR bs, VR pisses me off sometimes)
TLDR; If you really want to get this game for more Psychonaut content, achievements, and something to play around on VR, grab this game on a sale (I got it when it was 80% off). The game is more of a glorified tech demo as the VR craze was really taking off. If you want the story, it's short enough to just watch a couple videos on YouTube. Taking place right after the events of the first game, this sequel is more of...
