But I would like to know what tou think about Deathloop Ralph.
O
@Skill Up what’s up with Sam/Laymen??? Is he okay?!
Heard of a Animation called Akira???
Giving someone Raycons for Christmas is peak compromise
Hey shill up, please make "Here is what I think about ___" into a series. So that you can talk about games that have already out for a while and you don't have to cover them in your typical review format.
Lmao He is embracing the word ' Shill up '
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice WHEN?
Yes please
I would love that. Just knowing what he thinks about this kind of stuff.
Still waiting on the Shadowbringers review lmao
Personally, this is my GOTY. The creativity and narrative were fantastic. Combat could have been slightly better but I don't think that was the focus of this game
So agree, I usually hate platformers, but i finished this game within a week. I absolutely loved it. Like all the different brains are so different and awesome!
Yeah..its great probably the best game ive played in 2021..
@@markeldik7057 made me tear up multiple times aswell, always a telltale sign of a fantastic game
Wherever possible, go and vote for it. I voted for it at the Game Awards site. :)
I ageee I’ve played ratchet and clank as well, but other than visuals Psychonauts 2 beats Ratchet and clank . Both are Really amazing games but psychonauts is too good
One of my favourite parts of Psyconauts 2, and something that perfectly illustrates the quality of writing and thought that is put into the characters you find in this game, is the Clairvoyance ability. You can use Clairvoyance on pretty much every single character and then see the world through their eyes, and you get too see a visual representation of how they think of Raz. From Agent Forsyth viewing Raz as an annoying recently hatched chick (and then a proper Psyconaut agent once he's earned her respect), to Sasha Nein viewing Raz as a younger version of himself, to Raz's mother viewing him a her baby boy, while Raz's older siblings just view him as a cry baby. It's a fantastically effective way of giving further depth to all of the characters. It's also really fucking funny at times too. Some of the funniest moments in the game for me come from how Raz is viewed by certain characters.
And it's completely optional! The fact that this powerful characterisation tool is left completely to the player's discretion further highlights Double Fine's trust in their game and their players.
The best one is the fish.
thats not even something unique to the sequal, its in the first game too and works the exact same way
Skillup, you mentioned in the review liking the way the story is centered around adults and old people, given that, I strongly recommend you continue playing Yakuza Like a Dragon, you'll rarely see endearing and heartfelt stories about adults trying to figure out their lifes like Yakuza LAD does it. It's amazing
You're actually on the ball there! :)
Couldn't agree more. Yakuza 7 is easily one of the best in the series.
That game is just too goofy and anime
@@seffers4788 TBF every Yakuza game is a mix between serious and silly.
@@seffers4788 welcome to yakuza, bud. it's split down the middle goofy and then serious soap opera.
This is one of your best reviews bro. Nice and chill, but analytic enough for me to understand what this game is really about. You really sold me on Tim Schafer, and the themes in this games. I’ve just purchased this game, can’t wait to play it. Thanks mate. Love your work.
You'll probably find them or have already heard of them, but also check; Grim Fandango, Brütal Legend, Stacking, The Cave, Broken Age, Headlander I suppose...
They've done a whole bunch more, but those are the standouts to me.
Psychonauts 2 has something other games don't have. *Good Writing*
Nitpicking a little here but a lot of games have good writing... they're just trying to achieve different things with it. Writing copy for adverts needs to be done differently to a script like Dune, but both can be done well, or poorly.
COD obviously will never have a script as complex as Psychonauts, but that doesn't mean all COD writing is bad for what it's seeking to achieve.
Creative writing? Yes. But there are enough flaws in it -- contradictions, lack of focus, unckear stakes -- that it ends up feeling off to me.
@@appliedatoms7066 Such as?
I get what you’re saying, but I think you’re making the same error in judgement as Mr. Up here; a lot of genres don’t lend themselves to this type of writing. Mario doesn’t have a complex story structure connecting the lore of goombas and magical hats in some deeply emotional way, because it doesn’t need to. It’s far more abstract than grounded, because it can be. The “function” of every video game type isn’t the same. I don’t want to think about the societal ramifications of being a humanoid bandicoot while collecting fruit by bashing boxes on moving platforms over lava. If the video chose examples of other Narrative-heavy games, it would have been a better comparison.
@@MMACinephile the idea that cruller's injury was self-inflicted or the entire reveal about Raz's family was practically contradicted by the original game. We know Ford can't be trying to keep his mind torn apart in the first game because he hangs out in the one place that keeps him sane. We know it can't be really easy to put him back together or the psychonauts would've done so already. And if Ford is so tied to Raz's family, the actions taken when an aquato sneaks into his summer camp should've been different.
In my humble opinion this would be my game of the year. The feeling I had while playing it was different than any of the other contenders. I was connected, and immersed on another level. It just feels super unique.
It’s good, but very overrated
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 I think it's good if you're a 12 year old.
@@mog_3825 ???
@@mog_3825 go play COD little boy.
@@brendan2415 Found the beta who plays Roblox. Go back to Psychonauts 2 and Fortnite little boy.
"I'm just going to say some things about Psychonauts 2" couldn't ask for anything more, I love talking about this game.
I vividly remember the memory of getting the first game at a Blockbuster when I was 11, so happy this sequel lived up to the nearly two decade wait.
Hahaha, the "what is Tim" line together with that picture was so unexpected and hilarious, the delivery was perfect and the fact that you then just moved on like nothing happened instead of drawing attention to it by pausing only made it better. Top notch entertainment!
I hope Psychonauts gets an award. First time i played it i thought "ah, thats the formula.... nice but dunno i i wanna play on". Im so happy i gave it a second chance. Its an extraordinary game which is so fucking creative and full of surprises. In the end i even liked the fighting, because i just used the abilities i liked and it worked great.
The best part of psychonauts 2 is that shows every second of it that it was made with lots of love
Sadly you cant say that about most AAA Games nowdays
@@SaltyDerps this is nice comment
@@SaltyDerps The writing is the best too!
The story of Psychonauts 2, on the whole, I think it's better than 1.
The one place I think it fails is the other interns.
The way the campers were handled in 1 was better. The way they moved around after every mind and had their own easily missable arcs was funny, often endearing, and fun to hunt out.
The interns only moving around a few times, not having arcs as such, and then gate crashing the finale for some reason? didn't land well at all for me. The way their in the ending annoys me actually.
But that's it. The rest of the story is excellent. The adult characters are excellent, the back story and ways it ties to the original and regrets of the founding Psychonauts is superb. So so good.
Yeah I loved the campers in 1! They were super interesting and quirky.
The writing in this game is so genius. Like this is the most "clever" game I've ever played. I just finished it, gonna do my collectible sweep before I restart a "fun run"
Definitely agree. I have 100%'d it twice now.
Loved the game, but the "collectable sweep" was a nightmare because of the visual style
@@seanw1783 They have made it easier in the new update with a photo filter you can purchase from otto but you have to complete the game's story.
@@ne90316 oh nice, had no idea about that. Good to see they listened to feedback
"I'm just gonna say some stuffs about psychonauts 2"
Now that is why i have been subscribing for
A great take on a great game. I don't think I've smiled this much throughout a game in a long time. The only thing I think you should have mentioned is how good the soundtrack is, it adds so much to the stellar level design.
Great point on the soundtrack. It fits each level so perfectly.
I wholeheartedly believe this should win GOTY - it's so well crafted, so 'fully baked', and the story and gameplay synergy is so well realized that yes, 'you'd be f*cking crazy' to not give this GOTY
I don't know. I played if for a few hours and just basically lost interest. The mechanics are all so basic and the story didn't really captivate me either.
It is a solid enough game, but not a GOTY level.
@@braaaaaaaaaaaaaains in your opinion. Nice to hear a different viewpoint!
@@braaaaaaaaaaaaaains 100% Agreed. And I'm someone wh enjoyed the first game and likes Tim Schafer stuff in general. Hell, I played through Rhombus of Ruin (the VR game) so I would be fully prepared for this.
The best thing I can say about the game is it is Psychonauts. If all you want is another Psychonauts, you'll enjoy it for sure. And going in, I thought that would be enough for me, but it just wasn't at all. The platforming is neither challenging nor fun. It has very little momentum and your jump just feels week. The combat is just a waste of time -- there's nothing fun or engaging about it at all; it's just pure filler. I could forgive all this stuff back when the original hit the scene, but these days I expect my games to fire on all cylinders. There's just too much good stuff out there.
Yes, the game is whimsical and at times funny, and it's got amazing art design. It would make a great cartoon. But everything about the actual game part of it was tepid and I quit after I realized I was just forcing myself to play it for the atmosphere.
@@Zurrke there’s actually a lot of people that don’t find this GOTY worthy. Calling them crazy just shows your bias.
Agreed. It’s so much better than any recent platformer
Psychonauts 2 was so good. I loved it. It was a worthy sequel, creative, made with passion and above all else it was fun to play.
This is certainly my choice for game of the year. I hop between an unhealthy amount of bloody video games in my spare time, and often they can almost feel like another form of work. Especially open world games.
I didn't have that feeling at all playing Psychonauts 2. The story, characters, level design and humor all worked together so nicely. It felt like a breath of fresh air. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Double Fine comes up with in the future!
Psychonauts 2 is a masterpiece, it's the only game I have ever 100% completed. Tim Schafer is a genious, all his games are unique and innovative.
So long as you ignore Spacebase DF9
With the level design in particular, Psyconauts and Psyconauts 2 both use what I like to think is the equivalent of narrative/contextual low floor and high ceiling. There's enough of a low floor that a player can get the gist of what contextually the game is trying to say about a character but also a high enough ceiling that allows the player to equally delve deeper, and if they were interested, find more to gain from the story based off the general quality of contextual storytelling. And that's why narratively Psyconauts can be simple and complex which is super engaging.
This game deserves 10 times more sales compared to what it will get. Among the bloated, unfinished, trash quality AAA games we've been getting bombarded with, this is a game that is fully completed, looks well, plays well, doesn't want to steal your money, and is just...fun.
We need more games like this.
i just wish this game was a little more challenging, it's putting me off buying it
@@bighouse5804 We have PLENTY of challenging platformers. I like to have a nice relaxing gaming experience in between some hard games.
@@Rakka5 so you hate aaa games
@@Muhammad_mujataba Sounds more like he's just fed up with all the lazy AAA developers releasing half baked shit, not AAA in general. There are usually a few standout AAA's each year. Resident Evil 8, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Age of Empires 4 and Forza Horizon 5 have all received praise from all over the place.
But then you see games like Battlefield 2042 release in super broken states and that has sadly become the norm with a lot of AAA games. So its not that AAA is bad, its that most of the AAA companies have gotten complacent and lazy; and smaller studios are the ones leading the charge creatively
@@Rakka5 whats some good ones? talking 3d platformers here, i know there's loads of hard 2d ones around
I feel so glad the moment I see your video notification pop up! And it's
nice seeing your thoughts about a videogame in a different structure! (I love the normal structure in which you do your normal videos, it's very well organized and structured)
I just picked this game up on sale, and figured I'd get to it at some point. Then, as if Tim Schafer himself compelled Shillup to upload this when he did, I got the notification. Now I can't wait for my download to finish so I can really dig into it.
I really like this more relaxed and retrospective format! I hope you make more of these, this was so good.
I have a difficult time articulating exactly why I like Psychonauts 1&2 to others and this sums it up very well. Couldn’t agree more. Great thought piece man. That was great.
Hope this gets a lot of views because these more thoughtful analysis videos are my favorite that you make. You’re very skilled at examining games as a medium.
If Psychonauts 2 wins, this video is going to blow up. Nice move Ralph.
Except it won't. It's gonna be some fun but by the numbers game like Metroid Dread or Resident Evil 8
@@MMACinephile Let's cross our fingers though. Tim Schafer deserves all the money he gets if he wins the awards. I personally want him to win for Best Narrative and/or Art Direction at least. The story and characterization is so dang nuanced compared to few of the other games listed for Narrative and GOTY, couple that with Schafer being a veteran in the industry, and I'd say he's got a good chance. That said, I've seen a lot of critics fawn over Deathloop, but I've heard that gamers were pretty conflicted on it.
@@MMACinephile It’s just so deep.
Verily BG so metroid dread is a “decent” side scroller
Yet psychonauts is not even a decent platformer
It’s a mediocre platformer with a terrible combat system & without a single challenge and mediocre level design (by level design i mean how a level is structured to be interacted with not just pretty colors and art styles)
Even Raz’s movement in psychonauts is worse than mario in super mario 64! Meanwhile metroid dread is easily one of smoothest games ever
In a world that mario odyssey, ori games, celeste, rayman origins & legends exist, psychonauts is a mediocre game
And remember guys psychonauts is a video game not a cartoon so… level design and gameplay come first
Dialogue, character development & story should be afterthought (and i can even argue the story is mediocre here but whatever)
Psychonauts is just like uncharted. Both are better suited to be anything but a video game cuz they suck in the most important aspect: GAMEPLAY
@@MMACinephile now I feel sad. It didn’t win an award. But who cares? That doesn’t make its writing any less nuanced.
Bob's bottles. What an experience. I think it is the pinnacle of showing not telling in one singular level. Tim chose isolation as the focal point and damn did he nail it. GOTY for sure.
I wish I could give this video a million likes. Like you said, it's not topical, not old enough to be retro or even a throwback to the year, and yet you made it because you felt your take on the writing was worth sharing. I admire that passion and think the world is better for it ❤️
This game is my personal GOTY (Guardians being a close second) and I really hope this review sparks a bunch more sales for Tim Shaffer and team! They deserve it for what they’ve done here!
I sincerely hope this wins GOTY at the Game Awards as well! Truly would be well deserved

Hey shy!
When you start to main Mag. 😆

Always look forward to your reviews. Always the most descriptive, thoughtful insights. Keep up the good work, my dude. Rock and Stone!
Please do more of these types of videos. This was a great watch.
You continue to show me why you are one of my favourite reviewers out there you un abashed and pull no punches with your reviews and that is greatly appreciated and a joy to listen to
The way you're talking about knowing the creator through their work reminds me of "The Beginner's Guide"
Great video. I love listening to you philosophize about video games and this was just that. I agree that you should continue to make these 'here's what i think' videos! I love your perspective on video games.
Well Done mate! Love this review/Chat about a game that clearly deserved the time to talk about it...
This game was just pure joy. Everything I wanted from a sequel.
What an awesome take, Ralph. Love this format. Please make more!
I loved Psychonauts 2. After replaying the first one I bought the second one. Absolutely LOVED Psychonauts 2. It was amazing, and deserves more money, and awards. This game is my personal GOTY of the year.
Game of the year of the year

@@DopeasRope No, but I played the first one recently and it made the experience of the second even better.

@@MMACinephile for sure , thanks for the reply 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks for the video. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on games even if they aren’t the most recent releases. I hope videos like this one does well so you make more.
I wasn’t sure while watching the video if you were going to mention the coolest experience I had in this game and lo and behold, of course you did. That cooking segment is hilarious and fun. All the ingredients acting like contestants on The Price is Right made it so funny.
Great review, I'd love to see more of these kinds of videos!
Shhhhilllup. I just appreciate your content so much and I hope you know how much we all love how much love and care is put into these videos by you and Austin
One of your best videos, mate. A very insightful take on not just the game, but its place in the industry.
happy to see you release a video on this game. my eyes welled up a few times while i was playing this earlier this year. def deserves goty consideration. great review :)
I can’t help but feel like Psychonauts and persona 5 say a lot about the human condition through level design. Clearly Psychonauts is superior in this case! But I can’t help shake the feeling how similar the design and pacing are for these two games.
Persona 5 has more of a power fantasy feel to its narrative, which isn’t bad, though looking back, I feel a bit disappointed that almost every person whose mind you go into is a scumbag (I’ve heard Persona 5 Royal had a different level though). Like I don’t mind this, but it doesn’t leave a lot of room for character nuance that isn’t the main characters.
One of the best platformers I have player and such a huge leap in everyway from the 1st one, that is also super great game
Just found this channel from a reddit post for best games 2021 and man You’ve become my favourite game reviewer so far! Didn’t wanna get a ps5 thinking there weren’t any nice games but now I’m tempted to get it to play the games since it has backwards compatibility too !
Terrific ending here Ralph! I wish more people like you had a wider reach in the industry.
You got me interested on Psychonauts 2... oh steam sales!
Gamepass on PC is $1 for 3 months for new subscribers and Psychonauts 2 is there. Just a heads up ^_^
@@UniversalJuan oh right! I'll take a look then thank you for the reminder ;)
@@nat_sukashii Happy to be of help!
since i'm an awkward fuck and didn't know where else to leave this, as part of the degenerates known as the sir swag news team I really just wanted to say it was really cool to have you do the patchnotes this month and thought I'd sub and let you know this
cheers mate, thought you did a wonderful job
-a writer
Psychonauts 2 and Guardians of the galaxy are the top two criminally overlooked games of this year.
Both deserve much more attention than they have attracted.
I'm adding them to my list of "games I love with all my heart that nobody has heard of" along with Bulletstorm and Sunset Overdrive.
Guardians on sale for almost half off too! Getting that one soon!
Yall forgetting Deaths Door
Ralph, you are a blessing to the whole of the video gaming community; your words and perspective are just so refreshing and authentic. Thank you man, superb video as always ♥️
It's never too late to do a review for a game, my friend! Hell, you could do a review on a game that came out in the 90' I'll gladly watch it because I find the way you approach games really interesting. You always go the extra mile and shed light on aspects that can easily be missed. Your passion for video games is real and that's what makes your reviews enjoyable to watch.
I have literally been waiting for this review since the first impressions video! Thank you, Ralph!
I would love more videos of you talking about video games. This video makes me appreciate psyhconoughts 2 even more.
The cookout was a joy to me as a long time doublefine watcher as i recognised it instantly as the evolution of one of their amnesia fortnight games 'the gods must be hungry'. Which really goes to show the value of the project of giving your staff 2 weeks to let their imaginations go wild.
This video was very well done, and explained exactly why this game is easily my GOTY. The story is well written and has a ton of heart. The gameplay is "clunky" but still felt good to traverse around the game world. The imagination to the levels even if you don't pick up on the theming are still breathtaking to behold. I really hope double fine continues with this series in the future.
Excellent that this video is here since I finished it yesterday.
Psychonauts 2 and Horizon 5 two best of this year so far for me. I don't even usually like platformers that much but Psychonauts 2 was created with such love and so much creativity seeping out of it, wonderful job from Double Fine.
Quite like this format where you share your thoughts on the game without having to review it. Hope you do this more often for games you don't have time to review immediately!
You’ve said a lot that wasn’t mentioned in a lot of other reviews. Thank you for putting out a review, even though it was “late.”
Great video perfectly encapsulated my love for the game. Really loved it both the game and your video.
If you like 3D platform games focused on a more mature tone than I’d suggest trying out Alice the madness returns, there isn’t much else like it and it’s quite underrated.
Anyways it’s good to see some game companies actually put passion and care in their products because it seems like that’s getting more rare too, good video keep it up.
I love your videos Ralph, by far my favorite content creator on YT, I loved Psychonauts 2 played it with Gamepass when it came out on my Xbox Series S, but I just got a 144hz monitor so I'm tempted to give it another go since there's a 120fps mode available. Also, if you can, would you make a video about videogame fatigue or burnout? I don't feel it but I've seen a lot of people online and some of my friends talk about it, I'm very interested in your take since you do this for a living. Keep up the great work, Saludos de Mexico.
I've played a shit ton of your recommends this year and this one is the best of the year.
"What is Tim?" This got me. Great video :D
I enjoyed this more than a review, really great piece. Thoughtful, personal and insightful
So glad this game is getting some much deserved love. I feel similarly about No More Heroes 3, it sadly didn't even get mentioned once in any talks I've heard for GOTY, and that's a crying shame
Biggest issues for me were the boss fights and the abrupt ending. Yeah the platforming is not the greatest but the creativity and storytelling on display is outstanding and deserves so much more attention than its getting, more than Ratchet and Clank has at least.
The cookoff section alone is one of the best sequences in any game I've played
Agree, the abrupt ending left me with bad taste when the buildup and story was incredible.
Hated the cooking section. And I frequently hated the platforming and the combat. And the cooking section was where I finally had enough and switch off the game and never went back. I just found myself not enjoying the things that I really liked about the game, like the story in the characters, because the gameplay just turned me off so much. I hate it when you have a really frustrating time with particular part of a game, but then immediately after is a cutscene that seems to completely gaslight you in regards to how much that part of the game drove you up the wall. I just stop enjoying the story.
Loved your video. Psychonauts 1 must be one of my all time favorites, I will replay that one before jumping to this. Thanks for covering lesser know games.
Wonderful breakdown of Psychonauts, one of my most wonderful gaming experiences in the last few years especially when you get Psi King back and go into the void
Thank you for your thoughts on this! I have even more mad respect for you. Defs my GOTY
Wonderful review! I will check it out. Thank you!
I honestly wished you covered on the mental health aspect of the game (though I know there’s a lot of people who touched on it too). I love how compared to the first game, it focuses even more on helping your subjects than getting from Point A to Point B. Raz also doesn’t go into people’s minds without their consent after the Hollis levels, and a lot of people say he’s taking more of a therapist role here. It just makes me think more than laugh though compared to the first game, but I still appreciate it!
I dont see many people talking about the music of psychonauts 2. Like, Its really good. I just regurarly hum compton's cookoff and bob zanatto's island (not discounting other songs)because they are just pleasant to listen to in my opinion.
I couldn’t get the the grulovian national anthem out of my head for days
I liked this video with in the first 2min of it dropping, now I’ll watch it 2 hours later. I love you shill up
Played this on my first gaming console (series S) and loved it.♥️
My first CZcams video of yours, great job, I loved this game too
VIDEO ESSAY ALERT! Very good btw
This game is beyond words amazing. Every level is so different and so creative. It deals with issues, has humour … the art style, the characters … just beautiful. You have to play it to understand what we’re saying. It may not fit the mould of GOTY award (not movie style, 3rd person), but it definitely is. It’s not cinematic but says so much about society.
There is no mould to fit in that's just an imaginary concept salty people make up when their favourite game isn't nominated or doesn't win. Previous winners like Overwatch and Sekiro make that kind of argument invalid.
@@weaverquest while I agree with you, a cartoonish platformer has never won. It’s my pick however. And I hope it breaks the mould that may or may not exist.
Great review, it was an absolute privelege to play this game, such a lovingly crafted masterpiece
This game is amazing. Having a blast playing this game right now.
"What is Tim?" made me smash the like button
Well freaking said mate! You are very good at your craft sir -- got a new subscriber!
Thanks for this I'm totally sold and will check out on gamepass, somehow this passed me by and I'd assumed was another ratchet and clank type game. Do you think you need to play the first one first (also on GP)?
Nope but it does help intro you to some characters
That, good sir, was a love poem!
Thank god someone gets it. I loved this game. Your points about levels telling the story is spot on, I didn't feel like I needed further explanation.
What is Tim?
Consider my bean sufficiently freaked.
Damn you just convinced me to get this game. Great video as always mate.
Psychonauts 2 not winning best art direction, in favor of Deathloop, is fucking mind boggling to me. It's the category it should have been a complete lock for.
Greta video Ralph.
Psychonauts 2 fucking rules. I only played the first one just this year before I played 2 and I’m really glad I took the time to do it.
Damn i just started playing psychonauts 2 and i am in the motherlobe and skill up put out a video on it , so convenient!!!!
wish I could play it, looks incredible. hope we get more platformers with that much depth and character in the future
Great video! Well done!
Great format, just talk about the game without it being a review. So time to talk about Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye! Really can't wait to hear SkillUp's take on it...
This game is truly special, it manages to tell a great and heartwarming story in a way that can only be done in a video game. This is my favourite game of all time, it spoke to me on every front and reinvigorated a lot my love for gaming as it was one of the first I played after getting game pass.
You should do this format more often
Great video Ralf
