Hell yeah, I'm gonna be riding this dopamine hit for at least a few weeks, appreciate it.

I hope you enjoy it--the platforming is pretty dated but gets easier once you get a feel for the broader way the movement works and unlock some of the upgrades. I still think the most frustrating part of the game for me--post the nerf to the last level in rereleases--is a tightrope section in the first mental landscape you go through.

If I can give any advice: try and find the various vaults in each level, and if you don't naturally look them up at the end. They give little backstory vignettes by way of stylized slideshow that adds, imo, a whole lot of interesting context for each person you encounter. You can also talk extensively to the various characters around the camp for some very funny dialogue, but none of it is mandatory or all that important, so if that's not your thing don't worry about it.

Most importantly, please update with your opinion on whether you're Team Firestarters or Team Levitators, there is only one right answer and picking the wrong one might get you singed.

Just FYI, Steam had this for $5 so I grabbed it. I'm kinda sucked in to Monster Hunter World right now, but as soon as I come up for air, it's Psychonauts for sure.

Terraria is one of those games that I really want to like but I just bounce off of it so hard every time I try to play it. I have no knack for design either so I don't even get to build cool tree-houses or whatever. It's always the same boxes stacked on top of one another.

So I promised I'd give my impressions of Psychonauts once I got a copy. Unfortunately, I bounced off of it pretty hard. The controls were a mess and the start of the story just didn't hook me at all. I just really wasn't feeling it so I dumped it. I'll probably try it again some day, but so far...eh.
