Get your head in the game! In the gorgeous platformer Psychonauts 2, you wield awesome psychic powers as the spirited spy-in-training Razputin Aquato. When you’re not being hazed by your hilarious fellow interns, you’ll navigate breathtaking 3D mindscapes—clobbering mental monsters like Bad Moods and Panic Attacks along the way—as you hunt for the sinister Maligula.

While the story picks up just days after the events of 2005’s Psychonauts, don’t worry if you didn’t play the original—a charming prologue will get you all caught up.

What we love: The wildly imaginative worlds. When Raz psychically dives into the minds of quirky characters, he might find himself exploring a trippy music festival in a beat-up van or using telekinetic powers to compete in a frenzied cooking show. (Listen for Jack Black as the voice of the PSI King, a band leader with a rockin’ set of pipes.)

Quick tip: When you find your first Otto-Matic shop, buy the PSI Fold Wallet—it’ll allow Raz to carry up to 1,000 Psitanium. The more cash you can carry, the more you can spend on cool upgrades for your abilities!
