I love the quiet conversation Raz has with his dad. From the opening line of "hey dad" you can hear the egg shells breaking. This is game of the year, maybe even game of the decade. Some heavy hitting lessons hidden in its childish cartoony art style
Raz’s dad is probably one of the most insightful and understanding fathers on the face of the planet. I find it hard to believe he was as vehement toward psychics as Raz’s backstory leads us to believe.
I've come to the belief that Raz might've 'bluffed' a bit on the story as kids do. Not saying his dad wasn't against Psychics, but probably not so heavily.. that and y'know seeing how its affecting his son probably made a good amount of difference too.
It’s so wild how Augustus is perhaps the most well adjusted, genuine, and mature person in the series. He above anyone else has every reason to be upset or broken by this affair, but he takes the time to look outside of himself and worry about everyone else.
You can thank the psychonauts for that. They clearly have a "this is therapy, not control" approach to psychic in general. A very healthy way to go about something. Frankly, if most organisations ACTUALLY approached their fields with the same mentality instead of just saying that they do. The world and people in it would be a lot better place. Psychonauts as a organisation definitely has muddy waters but it's the closest I've ever seen to a noblebright organisation without relying on just on angelic effect - coming off and looking good- this group actually has unique means heal and understand people so they have a reasonable justification to rehabilitate people instead of locking them up or killing them. Also sorry for necroing a one year comment.
@@ndfdm5705Mind you, there are still some people that can't be fixed and there some criminals the Psychonauts did throw in jail. The Psychonauts still have limits to what they can do and who they can fix. They can't simply brainwash criminals to be good. And if they're not careful, they might make them worse than before. Just ask Raz and Forsythe.
What amazes me is despite how he feels about Ford's Trickery, leaving him tricked and confused, he cannot seem to bring himself to be angry, that is one great guy.
@@silverwinterwolf2064it's not that he isn't angry or didn't feel anger even a tiny bit, it's just that he has a lot empathy, takes time to contemplate and process and is ultimately very understanding and forgiving taking account all circumstances and intentions that resulted in that. It's not like for instance Ford did it to cause harm or didn't consider the harm it could do, Augustus understands that Ford already struggled too much himself and even shattered his own brain as well to protect the woman he loved. I love the way this game portrays most characters as humanly and self awarely flawed but still being very redeemable and forgiving nonetheless
norma "kid, you've got a long way to go" excuse you, my boy raz has stopped 2 catastrophes, saved the grand head of the psychonauts, helped reunite the psychic six, and solved a generation long mystery, give him his clothes
Yeah, and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to children saving the world. Let's give him another 16 years, see what his next adventure brings.
Norma literally caused two apocalypses: one for the normal Psychonauts to lose three great agents after Norma (and the others) suggest Raz convince Hollis to let them go on the mission, jeopardizing the mission, and of course that fatal distraction that made Maligula manifest in the real world. Norma should be the repentant one.
I like that it's not a squeaky clean resolution for Augustus. He's been through a lot, and his is a complicated and messy situation with no easy answers. But he's definitely trying his best.
It's a real human response, and I love it. Psychonauts may look like a kids game (hell, someone here even said "oh it's just a kids game") but it's really mature in themes and characters.
@@dantederi5062 That's one thing I dislike about people who judge a book by it's cover, there are a lot of Games out there that turn people away just from how it looks and its a shame that so many people will miss out on such interesting plot lines and dark themes. Another Good example of this is Chibi-Robo, it looks all happy and go-lucky but it deals with issues of Abandonment and Marital issues/Divorce.
Augustus is being really open-minded about all this. He has a right to be angry at his aunt for killing his parent s, at the psychic 6 for their experiments making Lucy that vulnerable, and especially at Ford for altering his memories. But Augustus realizes the psychic 6 have also suffered and did not plan or want things to happen as they did.
"Augustus is being really open-minded about all this." I guess realizing what doing the opposite did to his son (as shown in the last level in the first game) caused him to be a bit more understanding.
It's not really open minded it's more that there is literally no direction to reasonably put the anger. He can't aim it at the psychonauts because that's where his son has chosen to grow. He can't aim it at Lucy because despite her killing his mother and father she also raised him into adulthood and helped raise his children. He could take it out on Nick but how could he do that when Nick is already being punished for his actions legally? Reasonably the only one he could take it out on is Ford and there would be no fight there, Ford would agree with everything launched at him and yet he would still have to say it was the only option and Augustus would have to agree because it was the only possible way. It creates a very realistic view of tragedy in the modern world, very rarely do we have an opportunity to actually get revenge in a way that makes up for the loss so all you can do is ponder it.
@@ThatBugBehindYou yeah, in real life, in the rare occasion you're able to meaningfully lash out at the people who've hurt you, it rarely if ever undoes the harm done, certainly not emotionally. Shit ain't so easy.
And technically, Maligula is many people’s fault. It is Malik’s fault for using Lucrecia as a tool, instigating her to see herself as destruction after the Valermo Dam Incident but the fact that she was already used as a force of nature didn’t help. While the Psychic Six certainly didn’t harm her they contributed to it by practicing her powers. Finally, Ford shook up Raz’s family and made Lucrecia a ticking time bomb. The blame is multifaceted as mentioned earlier, and everything is dealt with as mentioned earlier. Of course Augustus is rather accepting of everything. There is nothing left to do. (And as “Nona” Lucrecia did had great times and memories with her new family, so I doubt he would be so quick to dismiss Lucrecia and banish her away from the Aquatos.)
11:22 the opening interaction with Sasha and Milla absolutely tickles me, lol. It's like when parents know their kid is really proud of something they did even if it's small, so they REALLY play it up so the kid can bask in it just a little longer. Except in this case it's Raz saving the world again for the second time in the same week and not like, a kid getting a 100% mark on their spelling test.
To be fair, Agent Aquato is a pretty spiffy title to earn for himself. I further like how Raz is more delighted that they recognize him as a fellow agent rather than the recent defeat of Maligula.
6:40 "He thinks if he can get me on the canoes, I won't be able to resist his advances" "Ok, that's enough" "He's right" - brilliant line delivery all around.
The entire series so far has been less than a week. In less than a week, the following happened: Raz gets to go to a government training camp and train to be a Psychonaut, unlocking 8 psychic powers, Oleander finally gets over his childhood traumas along with Raz, Raz SAVES THE HEAD OF THE PSYCHONAUTS, Raz becomes an intern, learning an extra 3 new powers and becoming a Junior Psychonaut afterwards, Raz helps Helmut Fullbear regain his senses, Compton Boole overcome his self judgement, Cassie O Pia rediscover her true self, Bob Zanotto get over his alcoholism, Ford Cruller fix his mind, and even manages to help Maligula stop being... Maligula, SIX of the Psychic Six's total members. Bob and Helmut find out they're both still alive, and start planning to recover Helmut's body, Raz discovers that his Grandmother is actually his Grandaunt and also a former member of the Psychic Six AND the Deluge of Grulovia, Raz stops the Grulovian Gzar's plan to resurrect Maligula, and Raz finally helps his family find out that they were never actually cursed, and that it was just a subconscious method of stopping Nona from recognizing her Hydrokinesis.
I really find it BS that Raz was given junior psychonauts rank. The kid basically singlehandedly reunited the Psychic 6 and solved all their mental problems, and took down the most dangerous psychic known in all of psychonauts history. Regardless, I do hope a 3rd game will come around. I really enjoyed the creativity of the first game, and I like how it was applied here too.
I mean, you gotta take into account that he's still only 10. He's absolutely super mature for his age, and he did do some ridiculous stuff, but he's still *literally* a junior.
the 'kid solves adults problems' is also a really common crutch in writing. it'd be nice if the adults could have done a little more than be perpetually wrong while roiling around helplessly
Can we all just appreciate Augustus? He's not only understanding, but also considerate... Sure, he could be mad at Nona because of just who she really is, and what she's done, but... At the same time, she's also suffered, and he knows that extremely well. Sure, it's turned his world upside down, but he still understands... And with Ford? Again, he understands that yes, he can be mad, he has full reason and right to be mad... But he also understands that what Ford tortured himself much more than anybody else.
But of a Necro I know so sorry but it's a hell of a moment so I had to comment. It's an incredible Real Life moment that every single person will face on some level at some point when looking back on the actions of a past generation and asking "why?" And while there are some cases where bitterness can be justified, for the most part you just have to accept they did the best they could with what they knew and what emotional/mental baggage they were carrying. Few people in my experience actively set out to deliberately harm a younger generation and instead at some point think they are helping. A study of history will show just about everything we consider vile today was at some point in some place (and in some places still is) considered a good and helpful thing. If my father who had a rather awful life taught me anything (and he taught me very much) it's that you pass the lesson of the pain on so it doesn't repeat but not the pain itself, because most of that older generation will not be free of that guilt till they die. In my personal opinion hating them is both pointless and more harmful to you than them. In Augustus' case he knows ford will never forgive himself no matter how well that family heals and that the woman who raised him will never really move past murdering her own sister regardless of anything he says or does.
Yeah he was the only one of the Psychic Six (Seven) we didn't explore the mind of, though he seems to be the only one who seemed to be mentally okay after thier last mission
I like this idea, but the issue is, there would be no real reason to in the game. The reason Raz goes into people’s minds is because they have some kind of issue that they need help getting through, like Cassie’s identity crisis, or Ford’s shattered mind, or Bob’s refusal to remember anything With Otto, he has no underlying issues that are even hinted at, he just seems happy. Maybe a discontent with his role, but that’s pushing it.
@@Glacial7 Plus it wouldn't explain the opening where somehow the Mole's mind was influencing Loboto's mind to keep him from revealing his identity I think
Seriously! For all his emotional intelligence and maturity, he's a kid. A kid who's had to act as a therapist for several incredibly powerful and influential adults, some of whom were also outright dangerous towards him! He had to save other kids AND the very agents he looked up to so much, then face his greatest fear by being trapped underwater in the Rhombus, and then had *his entire family's worst secrets revealed, including that his greatest idol's worst sin*. Not to mention, Olliander and Lobato? Two dudes who tried to kill him? He had to save and FORGIVE THEM. He's dove through so many fucked up minds that it has to have done something to him by this point.
That's probably why Raz's docket is suspiciously clean in the post-game - they're lining up a psychic checkup for him and don't want other missions interfering with that.
Thats why i love that Sasha and Milla tell Raz to take a break, the two understand Raz has done so much. I imagine theyll force him to take a few days off haha.
Augustus really setting a shining example of emotional maturity and empathy for his son. I say let it stew for a bit, and if necessary, Raz can go into his head and help tidy things up any emotional baggage, doubts, and bad moods. Though I have a feeling he'll more serve as inspiration for his son while goes on to help other people clean up their minds.
I really love the fact Raz isn't letting his successes go to his head. In less than a week, he saved not only the world, but the Psychnauts as a whole, without being a fully-trained psychic at that. He stopped Oleander and Loboto's plans at the camp, saved Truman Zanotto from the Rhombus of Ruin, helped reunite the Psychic Six, took down the guy who set things into motion, and helped the one person that was probably the most hurt of all the characters, as horrible her actions were, helping his father and ridding his family of their old fear of water in the process. And at the end, he finally gets to fulfull his dream and officially joins the Psychonauts, the one thing he wanted from the start. So many characters would get cocky, but Raz? He always knew he wasn't a fully-fledged Psychonaut and that he had much to learn. Was he headstrong? Yes, but that's because he was already in the thick of it from the start and because he wanted to see things through to the end, after everything he faced. He made mistakes along the way, but he's still a kid, and mistakes are part of growing as a person and professionally. He remained humble, and that's probably what makes him such a great Psychonaut. Aside from the hiccup with the casino, he doesn't try to go too fast, too far, which is where the Psychic Six and Lucrecia went wrong. They used the Astralathe to unlock powers they were not ready for, powers they likely would've been able to unlock themselves given enough training, but this fasttrack also opened them up for instability. If they had taken their time, built up their powers the slow and steady way, their mind swould've been that much more strong, more stable. Yes, the fight against Maligula was horrible and left it's scars, but I think it would've been managable if they hadn't opened their minds before they were ready for it, making them unable to cope in a healthy way, forcing Raz to help them. Would there still be trauma? Yes, especially for poor Bbb and Helmut, but there's a good chance things wouldn't have gone as bad, maybe Maligula would've never been born from Lucrecia's anger and grief. Gods, I'm rambling again....
I only finished it recently and I got so caught up in the main story I missed many side quests. By the time I had all my abilities I had beat the final boss, so I only got behind the waterfall after the ending.
0:02 Augustus Aquato 3:06 Lili and Truman Zanotto 5:50 Ford Cruller and Lucrecia "Lucy" Mux 8:24 Gristol "Nick Johnsmith" Malik 9:23 Dr. Caligosto Loboto 9:47 Coach Morceau "Morry" Oleander 10:38 Morris Martinez 11:21 Agents Sasha Nein and Camilla "Milla" Vodello 12:38 Agent Hollis Forsythe 16:10 Robert "Bob" Zanotto and Helmut Fullbear 16:56 sisters Norma and Lizzie Natividad 19:29 Donatella Aquato 22:35 Otto Mentallis I left out some that aren't actually post-ending dialogues, in that they're exactly the same as if you were to visit them before the ending.
I just love how Raz has a cool friendship with everyone from the first game to the sequel. The kids at whispering rock, the psychonauts instructors, family members, the intern friends, basically everyone. I don't have a character in the psychonauts universe that I truly dislike.
I hope we even get to have a third game. Now I'm not saying that Psychonauts have to be a big franchise, but a perfect trilogy will be more than enough to satisfy me. I don't know why, but any book, movie, or video game that has a sequel just must at least be a trilogy for me. Just feels natural that way.
@@Danzigx eh CIA is beyond save-able once you look into their influence in the drug trade plus meddling in other countries in order to preserve US status quo.
Barely started the video yet I can already tell I love Augustus’ character, he’s been robbed of everything he thought was real about Nona, but he’s just, fine, he barely even holds a bit of anger towards anyone, he’s being the most compassionate and decent a person should be and that’s wonderful
I wouldn’t say he’s fine. He just has no idea what to do with what happened. He’s mature enough to know holding a grudge won’t help, recognizes how much everyone else have suffered, and can’t be angry at them because of it.
A dlc where Lili has to sneak into Raz's mind and do a mental check up without him knowing could be cool, Especially if they give her violently different movement options. Imagine if his mind would be super easy with Raz's movement, but way harder as Lili, because she isn't an acrobat or an all around moderately skilled Psychic. She would have absolutely insane levels of Pyrokinesis and Floramancy, but wouldn't be able to do tightropes, trapezes, or other similar actions. Perhaps she finds out something he repressed and has to deal with it?
I find it interesting the game doesn’t seem to shy away from the fact that the psychonauts are actually kinda a shady organizations, experiments, taking extra-judicial actions, etc…
Those mini Astralathes removing brain wrinkles had me go through a few thoughts First was smooth brain no thoughts head empty Then I was like “oooooh they’ll get rid of bad memories because wrinkles act like storage and memories are like video clips”
Some of these conversations went the way they did because you didn't finish side quests - for instance when Queepie ran away, that's because that's part of his side quest and you didn't show all locations here
There's also some new conversations in the mental worlds after the credits. Check out Hollis, Cassie and Bob's worlds. Oh, and you missed some of the interns too. There's Adam in the Atrium and Sam in the QA house.
I think psychonauts series for like Netflix or some other platform would be a great idea with it could expand on existing lore and new adventures at the same time and we could see existing characters getting into all sorts of wacky situations
Hopefully it’s just as good or better while not taking 20 years to make; although it’s good since it wasn’t forcefully created within a year or less so other crappy titles with issues.
Yeah give it 5 years these guys take their time like the first game took 5 years to make the second only took so long because of a shit load of budget and publisher issues of course now with the success of the 2nd game a 3rd is god near guaranteed.
Honestly I think they should stop here. Everything has been resolved... The water curse,Ford's mind,raz has joined the psychonauts. No need to draw out the series.
@@RedaFox1 Yeah. I want another Psychonauts, but don't know what else they could do to push the story forward now that everything's been resolved and they got rid of his water phobia weakness.
@@Dante-Balisk maybe tracking down Dr lobato at camp Whispering Rock? They could upscale the original environment, age the surroundings a bit, maybe have raz as a Counselor, with either him being forced to protect the kids as the call to adventure, or being an entirely new character to flesh out the world more. They could have the main plot revolve around another countries Equivalent of the Psyconauts (The TeleKops?) Investigating an international incident at Whispering Rock, maybe requiring the expertise of Dr Lobato, maybe his kid got involved somehow? This game is really good at actually using the great premise it starts with to the fullest extent, so If they decided to make a third game I would have no doubts they would do it well.
Since Psychonauts 2 came out, I’ve been wondering how the series would continue. (If it would at all, to be quite honest I’m very content with the 3 games DoubleFine has given us, but y’know, more content lol) I’m not sure if this idea has been put out there already, and if it was this would be very embarrassing for me, but I would just love to see a game in Raz’s head. After basically saving the world on three separate occasions over the course of a couple days, it would only be fair that he rests and sorts things out in his OWN mind. He would traverse the dream world, fight his nightmares, interact with the mental constructs of everyone he’s met, and most importantly, comes to terms with both the events that occurred and his newly discovered repressed psychic powers. (If u know, u know) I would imagine the characters are like constructs he created in like a reverse-clairvoyance, where we see how Raz perceives the characters, rather than the characters that perceive Raz. It would also be cool to see how his mind looks now that he’s accepted his family’s history and learned to empathize and see their side of the story. Basically, to sum things up, he’s been spending all of his time assisting other people with their traumas and mental problems, now it’s time to sort out his own baggage. Idk, just thought I’d put this out there bc it’s fun to think about the future of your favorite games.
My biggest tearjerker was when the psychic 6 reunited with Lucy, but instead of fearing her or getting ready to fight her they just went to hug her. Man it brought some warmth even into my cold heart.
@@asterixobelix20 Especially when Bob, the one who would have hated her the most for "killing" Helmut and putting him through so much misery, actually was the first to approach her and hug her 😭
Wait if loboto has a kid at whispering rock... Did he steal his own kids brain? Wait WHO'S WATCHING THE KIDS!?! Oh no, dogen must've popped a brain by now.
Provided Loboto's kid is an actual kid (not a goat), he was totally crazy enough to think it would be "unfair" if he took all the other campers' brains and "ignored" his own kid.
@@UmisTsukishiro00 I had an idea that his kid could be Bobby Ziltch (a.k.a Hair Boy) because put them side by side, you can see similarities. What you do think?
@@rainbowkittyunicorn8803 I think, out of all the campers, Bobby’s the most likely to secretly be a Loboto. They look too much alike, and Bobby clearly has daddy issues. If there’s a third game, it would be nice to see their relationship grow healthier.
i am kinda curious now, the aquatto curse was mostly just a psychic trick placed on them by ford. then back during the part of the first game during the boss fight under the lake do you think that Raz used Hydrokinesis subconsciously like those hands to have that air pocket down there
It's Lucy subconsciously using her powers on the family, ironically turning into an actual curse that helped them. That's why the water hand waved goodbye to Raz at the end, the curse was lifted and it was showing itself for the last time.
I'd love to see them make a few one-off DLC's for this game which are self contained, single character conclusions. Like looking at helping Augustus sort through his complicated feelings about ford, his parents and Nona. Or a look at Otto's weirdly detached mentality from the rest of the psychic 6.
The fact Sasha and MIlla mentioned that they're going back to camp, and Labato has a kid at camp, makes me think we're going to revisit the camp and kids! Also possibly get Helmut's body.
@@joshualoreto3025 Or a maybe even a lead up to a Psychonauts 3? I mean, we have Milla, Sasha and Loboto going back to camp and Helmut going back to Grulovia.
Anyone who says this wasn't for the theorists that have been around since the first game arguing that Bobby is Loboto's kid can fight me. I've seen people saying it's Dart, but it being an easter egg/non-canon character feels like such a stretch to me. Until DoubleFine says they were just trolling us all, let me have this.
Playing both games back-to-back a few months ago, I definitely notice the writing having shifted to be more heartfelt. That being said, I really enjoy this game and there's glimpses of the old _bite_ the first game had, particularly when you talk to Otto. Solid direction, mind.
The fungus quest was originally to potentially help Lili's father. You activated the quest after beating the game. Either way, the fungus is pointless. You also went to Morris before completing Queepie's quest. He should be there as his new DJ.
It's funny that Otto blames Ford for Maligula happening when it was Otto's experimentations on her that made Maligula possible. Ford just fell in love with her and hid her away after the fact.
Otto feels like he's going to be trouble going forward. Not a main villain but someone like Laboto who will end up supplying the next villain with some of his gear. Artificial Psychics anyone?
I love how Truman talks about "the Rombus of Ruin" It's a nice Tie to the VR game of the same name Also, Milla's comment "That feels like 20 years ago" 4th wall joke on how it's been like 20 years before this game was even announced
Poor Augustus, But at least he's taking this much better than most people would, probably knowing he still has his supportive and loving wife, along with his children.
really didn't like how they treated raz like nothing after the whispering rock, he basicly did what group of adult psychonauts couldn't and then in second game he did even more cooler stuff like helpin 6 out of 7 founders of psychonaut and ofcourse resolving conflicts while he was 10 YEARS OLD and he did it like in a couple of days or even less ( the 1. game i think lasted by the changing time only 1 full day) i hope raz will get his recognition and not like "ye thanks buddy u kinda helped me there a little"
@@UltraRandomStory true, but still ending in 1. Game was nice, everyone acknowledged the abilities of mc, but second was like "it was a group project, you all did kinda good so you get JUNIOR psychonaut title and we don't care that you did more than any adult ever would."
@@matveyfedorov7147 true, raz did stop a world war and recovered the head of the psychonauts so it was unfair for him in the beginning of the 2nd game. in the end, raz is still 10 and was eager to get into the psychonauts even if it was just a junior rank so he ended up super happy; even norma questioned the promotion lol.
I hope that sometime in the future they make another psychonauts game set at whispering rock where you can make a custom character. Something cheap like an RPG would make sense, I think. The psychonauts IP is robust enough to transition into other genres.
I have this dream for Psychonauts 3 to have a level editor of sorts. You don't get a boss or anything, but just are able to choose from a set of assets and styles and functionally map your brain out (with certain restrictions of course). Otto's Brainframe would be a good level selector to just jump into a custom brain level just to do some exploration.

right!?
Omg I know right?
I love the quiet conversation Raz has with his dad. From the opening line of "hey dad" you can hear the egg shells breaking.
This is game of the year, maybe even game of the decade. Some heavy hitting lessons hidden in its childish cartoony art style
Hey guys Don't you think Tia zanotto her have brain?
What i like is that they also show the downsides as well, like liking somebody so much you are unwilling to let them go
Raz’s dad is probably one of the most insightful and understanding fathers on the face of the planet.
I find it hard to believe he was as vehement toward psychics as Raz’s backstory leads us to believe.
maybe he just did a lot of self reflection after raz ran away
He was trying to keep his family safe but realized he went way too far when he saw the distorted mental image of himself in Raz's mind.
I've come to the belief that Raz might've 'bluffed' a bit on the story as kids do. Not saying his dad wasn't against Psychics, but probably not so heavily.. that and y'know seeing how its affecting his son probably made a good amount of difference too.
I guess seeing Raz run away, looking into his mind, and seeing what Raz thought of him in the meat circus, gave him a full 180
Accepting psychics and no longer resenting a part of himself was probably very cathartic for him.
"Remember when we fought off those brain tanks?"
"Oh that feels like 20 years ago!"
Holy shit
It wasn't though. Would've made more sense if they said 16 years
It took 5 years to make the studio opened 21 years ago

A true family man.
You can thank the psychonauts for that. They clearly have a "this is therapy, not control" approach to psychic in general. A very healthy way to go about something. Frankly, if most organisations ACTUALLY approached their fields with the same mentality instead of just saying that they do. The world and people in it would be a lot better place.

and that's just on 4 BLOODY DAYS (according to the lore)

He has a right to be angry at his aunt for killing his parent s, at the psychic 6 for their experiments making Lucy that vulnerable, and especially at Ford for altering his memories. But Augustus realizes the psychic 6 have also suffered and did not plan or want things to happen as they did.
"Augustus is being really open-minded about all this." I guess realizing what doing the opposite did to his son (as shown in the last level in the first game) caused him to be a bit more understanding.
It's not really open minded it's more that there is literally no direction to reasonably put the anger.
He can't aim it at the psychonauts because that's where his son has chosen to grow.
He can't aim it at Lucy because despite her killing his mother and father she also raised him into adulthood and helped raise his children.
He could take it out on Nick but how could he do that when Nick is already being punished for his actions legally?
Reasonably the only one he could take it out on is Ford and there would be no fight there, Ford would agree with everything launched at him and yet he would still have to say it was the only option and Augustus would have to agree because it was the only possible way.
It creates a very realistic view of tragedy in the modern world, very rarely do we have an opportunity to actually get revenge in a way that makes up for the loss so all you can do is ponder it.
@@ThatBugBehindYou yeah, in real life, in the rare occasion you're able to meaningfully lash out at the people who've hurt you, it rarely if ever undoes the harm done, certainly not emotionally. Shit ain't so easy.
Literally everybody suffered. We live in a sociality.
And technically, Maligula is many people’s fault. It is Malik’s fault for using Lucrecia as a tool, instigating her to see herself as destruction after the Valermo Dam Incident but the fact that she was already used as a force of nature didn’t help. While the Psychic Six certainly didn’t harm her they contributed to it by practicing her powers. Finally, Ford shook up Raz’s family and made Lucrecia a ticking time bomb. The blame is multifaceted as mentioned earlier, and everything is dealt with as mentioned earlier. Of course Augustus is rather accepting of everything. There is nothing left to do. (And as “Nona” Lucrecia did had great times and memories with her new family, so I doubt he would be so quick to dismiss Lucrecia and banish her away from the Aquatos.)
11:22 the opening interaction with Sasha and Milla absolutely tickles me, lol. It's like when parents know their kid is really proud of something they did even if it's small, so they REALLY play it up so the kid can bask in it just a little longer. Except in this case it's Raz saving the world again for the second time in the same week and not like, a kid getting a 100% mark on their spelling test.
To be fair, Agent Aquato is a pretty spiffy title to earn for himself. I further like how Raz is more delighted that they recognize him as a fellow agent rather than the recent defeat of Maligula.
@@megalomaniacalHalide Which lines up with his other comment to Truman "I was just doing what ANY psychonaut [agent] would've done".
It just sucks that everyone else, or I guess, his classmates and new instructors still underestimates him.
6:40 "He thinks if he can get me on the canoes, I won't be able to resist his advances" "Ok, that's enough" "He's right" - brilliant line delivery all around.

The entire series so far has been less than a week. In less than a week, the following happened:
Raz gets to go to a government training camp and train to be a Psychonaut, unlocking 8 psychic powers,
Oleander finally gets over his childhood traumas along with Raz,
Raz SAVES THE HEAD OF THE PSYCHONAUTS,
Raz becomes an intern, learning an extra 3 new powers and becoming a Junior Psychonaut afterwards,
Raz helps Helmut Fullbear regain his senses, Compton Boole overcome his self judgement, Cassie O Pia rediscover her true self, Bob Zanotto get over his alcoholism, Ford Cruller fix his mind, and even manages to help Maligula stop being... Maligula, SIX of the Psychic Six's total members.
Bob and Helmut find out they're both still alive, and start planning to recover Helmut's body,
Raz discovers that his Grandmother is actually his Grandaunt and also a former member of the Psychic Six AND the Deluge of Grulovia,
Raz stops the Grulovian Gzar's plan to resurrect Maligula,
and Raz finally helps his family find out that they were never actually cursed, and that it was just a subconscious method of stopping Nona from recognizing her Hydrokinesis.
This is an absolute mindfuck to think about and I hate it
And he did all this while being 10 years old
@@onlyacomentarynothingspeci2419 my boy is going to be a goddam legendary psychonaut when he’s an adult
And gets rewarded with a promotion of JUNIOR psychonaut
@@TheCHEESEG Raz seems to follow "Take it while you can" logic. Kid really knows when to fold'em while he is ahead.
I really find it BS that Raz was given junior psychonauts rank. The kid basically singlehandedly reunited the Psychic 6 and solved all their mental problems, and took down the most dangerous psychic known in all of psychonauts history. Regardless, I do hope a 3rd game will come around. I really enjoyed the creativity of the first game, and I like how it was applied here too.
I mean, you gotta take into account that he's still only 10. He's absolutely super mature for his age, and he did do some ridiculous stuff, but he's still *literally* a junior.
child soldiers are bad
the 'kid solves adults problems' is also a really common crutch in writing. it'd be nice if the adults could have done a little more than be perpetually wrong while roiling around helplessly
tbf 'junior psychonaut' could just mean a younger psychonaut, he would probably graduate to full psychonaut rank when he turns 18/ gets older
@@EeveeMaster547 And he's only been a Psychonaut for a few days at this point.
The way Helmut roasted tf outta his husband 💀 “and after that we’re gonna buy a treadmill and rescue Bobby’s body”
Nothing like genuine love
Can we all just appreciate Augustus? He's not only understanding, but also considerate... Sure, he could be mad at Nona because of just who she really is, and what she's done, but... At the same time, she's also suffered, and he knows that extremely well. Sure, it's turned his world upside down, but he still understands...
And with Ford? Again, he understands that yes, he can be mad, he has full reason and right to be mad... But he also understands that what Ford tortured himself much more than anybody else.
But of a Necro I know so sorry but it's a hell of a moment so I had to comment. It's an incredible Real Life moment that every single person will face on some level at some point when looking back on the actions of a past generation and asking "why?" And while there are some cases where bitterness can be justified, for the most part you just have to accept they did the best they could with what they knew and what emotional/mental baggage they were carrying. Few people in my experience actively set out to deliberately harm a younger generation and instead at some point think they are helping. A study of history will show just about everything we consider vile today was at some point in some place (and in some places still is) considered a good and helpful thing. If my father who had a rather awful life taught me anything (and he taught me very much) it's that you pass the lesson of the pain on so it doesn't repeat but not the pain itself, because most of that older generation will not be free of that guilt till they die. In my personal opinion hating them is both pointless and more harmful to you than them. In Augustus' case he knows ford will never forgive himself no matter how well that family heals and that the woman who raised him will never really move past murdering her own sister regardless of anything he says or does.
Seeing the dad go from solemn to excited when he started talking about the circus is just so wholesome
everyone else in the comments: wow raz's dad is actually a really nice guy

Loboto is my favorite character, that made me laugh!
A DLC depicting Otto Mentalis' brain world would be amazing
Agreed
Yeah he was the only one of the Psychic Six (Seven) we didn't explore the mind of, though he seems to be the only one who seemed to be mentally okay after thier last mission
@@blackdemonknight i actually think he should have been the mole. Would have made the most sense with the lore
I like this idea, but the issue is, there would be no real reason to in the game. The reason Raz goes into people’s minds is because they have some kind of issue that they need help getting through, like Cassie’s identity crisis, or Ford’s shattered mind, or Bob’s refusal to remember anything
With Otto, he has no underlying issues that are even hinted at, he just seems happy. Maybe a discontent with his role, but that’s pushing it.
@@Glacial7 Plus it wouldn't explain the opening where somehow the Mole's mind was influencing Loboto's mind to keep him from revealing his identity I think
Someone needs to check on Raz's 🧠. He's been through more in 3 days than I have in my life!
Seriously! For all his emotional intelligence and maturity, he's a kid. A kid who's had to act as a therapist for several incredibly powerful and influential adults, some of whom were also outright dangerous towards him! He had to save other kids AND the very agents he looked up to so much, then face his greatest fear by being trapped underwater in the Rhombus, and then had *his entire family's worst secrets revealed, including that his greatest idol's worst sin*. Not to mention, Olliander and Lobato? Two dudes who tried to kill him? He had to save and FORGIVE THEM.
He's dove through so many fucked up minds that it has to have done something to him by this point.
That's probably why Raz's docket is suspiciously clean in the post-game - they're lining up a psychic checkup for him and don't want other missions interfering with that.
Thats why i love that Sasha and Milla tell Raz to take a break, the two understand Raz has done so much. I imagine theyll force him to take a few days off haha.
@@rodanandme Raz's mind platforming tutorial please?
Lmao!
Augustus really setting a shining example of emotional maturity and empathy for his son. I say let it stew for a bit, and if necessary, Raz can go into his head and help tidy things up any emotional baggage, doubts, and bad moods.
Though I have a feeling he'll more serve as inspiration for his son while goes on to help other people clean up their minds.
I really love the fact Raz isn't letting his successes go to his head. In less than a week, he saved not only the world, but the Psychnauts as a whole, without being a fully-trained psychic at that. He stopped Oleander and Loboto's plans at the camp, saved Truman Zanotto from the Rhombus of Ruin, helped reunite the Psychic Six, took down the guy who set things into motion, and helped the one person that was probably the most hurt of all the characters, as horrible her actions were, helping his father and ridding his family of their old fear of water in the process. And at the end, he finally gets to fulfull his dream and officially joins the Psychonauts, the one thing he wanted from the start.
So many characters would get cocky, but Raz? He always knew he wasn't a fully-fledged Psychonaut and that he had much to learn. Was he headstrong? Yes, but that's because he was already in the thick of it from the start and because he wanted to see things through to the end, after everything he faced. He made mistakes along the way, but he's still a kid, and mistakes are part of growing as a person and professionally.
He remained humble, and that's probably what makes him such a great Psychonaut. Aside from the hiccup with the casino, he doesn't try to go too fast, too far, which is where the Psychic Six and Lucrecia went wrong. They used the Astralathe to unlock powers they were not ready for, powers they likely would've been able to unlock themselves given enough training, but this fasttrack also opened them up for instability. If they had taken their time, built up their powers the slow and steady way, their mind swould've been that much more strong, more stable.
Yes, the fight against Maligula was horrible and left it's scars, but I think it would've been managable if they hadn't opened their minds before they were ready for it, making them unable to cope in a healthy way, forcing Raz to help them. Would there still be trauma? Yes, especially for poor Bbb and Helmut, but there's a good chance things wouldn't have gone as bad, maybe Maligula would've never been born from Lucrecia's anger and grief.
Gods, I'm rambling again....
The Queepie thing isn't actually post-credits, it's the start of a sidequest that you can do as soon as you first leave the Motherlobe.
Same with Gisu's assignment.
And the dialogue about the "very special fungus". I didn't know you could even activate that scene post-game. Huh.
I only finished it recently and I got so caught up in the main story I missed many side quests. By the time I had all my abilities I had beat the final boss, so I only got behind the waterfall after the ending.

I don't know why, but any book, movie, or video game that has a sequel just must at least be a trilogy for me. Just feels natural that way.

I didn't catch it my first time through but the thought of Oleander giving the Aquatos swimming lessons, that just sounds amazing.
Barely started the video yet I can already tell I love Augustus’ character, he’s been robbed of everything he thought was real about Nona, but he’s just, fine, he barely even holds a bit of anger towards anyone, he’s being the most compassionate and decent a person should be and that’s wonderful
I wouldn’t say he’s fine. He just has no idea what to do with what happened. He’s mature enough to know holding a grudge won’t help, recognizes how much everyone else have suffered, and can’t be angry at them because of it.
Raz went in a week from zero to hero. Twice! That said, this was one rough week for him and pretty much everyone.
Less than a week FOUR measly days according to the game timeline
Now THAT is how your tie up loose ends in a video game ending
A DLC featuring Lili as a playable character would be awesome for once.
True I love lili
Pleeeeeeaase!!! Don’t let her be another Kairi!!!
She can talk to plants aparently so it might be cool
@Leo LionheartXx Oh don’t worry, Lilli is absolutely NOTHING like Kairi.
A dlc where Lili has to sneak into Raz's mind and do a mental check up without him knowing could be cool, Especially if they give her violently different movement options. Imagine if his mind would be super easy with Raz's movement, but way harder as Lili, because she isn't an acrobat or an all around moderately skilled Psychic. She would have absolutely insane levels of Pyrokinesis and Floramancy, but wouldn't be able to do tightropes, trapezes, or other similar actions. Perhaps she finds out something he repressed and has to deal with it?
I find it interesting the game doesn’t seem to shy away from the fact that the psychonauts are actually kinda a shady organizations, experiments, taking extra-judicial actions, etc…
Those mini Astralathes removing brain wrinkles had me go through a few thoughts
First was smooth brain no thoughts head empty
Then I was like “oooooh they’ll get rid of bad memories because wrinkles act like storage and memories are like video clips”
lol did you get a flashback too of those giant irons from fooly cooly, the Medical Mechanica irons
Some of these conversations went the way they did because you didn't finish side quests
- for instance when Queepie ran away, that's because that's part of his side quest and you didn't show all locations here
There's also some new conversations in the mental worlds after the credits. Check out Hollis, Cassie and Bob's worlds.
Oh, and you missed some of the interns too. There's Adam in the Atrium and Sam in the QA house.
I think psychonauts series for like Netflix or some other platform would be a great idea with it could expand on existing lore and new adventures at the same time and we could see existing characters getting into all sorts of wacky situations
Oh, heck yeah! We need a Psychonauts show, I’d love to see more Dr. Loboto! He’s my favorite character!
I hope we get a psychonauts 3
Hopefully it’s just as good or better while not taking 20 years to make; although it’s good since it wasn’t forcefully created within a year or less so other crappy titles with issues.
Yeah give it 5 years these guys take their time like the first game took 5 years to make the second only took so long because of a shit load of budget and publisher issues of course now with the success of the 2nd game a 3rd is god near guaranteed.
Honestly I think they should stop here. Everything has been resolved... The water curse,Ford's mind,raz has joined the psychonauts.
No need to draw out the series.
@@RedaFox1 Yeah. I want another Psychonauts, but don't know what else they could do to push the story forward now that everything's been resolved and they got rid of his water phobia weakness.
@@Dante-Balisk maybe tracking down Dr lobato at camp Whispering Rock? They could upscale the original environment, age the surroundings a bit, maybe have raz as a Counselor, with either him being forced to protect the kids as the call to adventure, or being an entirely new character to flesh out the world more. They could have the main plot revolve around another countries Equivalent of the Psyconauts (The TeleKops?) Investigating an international incident at Whispering Rock, maybe requiring the expertise of Dr Lobato, maybe his kid got involved somehow? This game is really good at actually using the great premise it starts with to the fullest extent, so If they decided to make a third game I would have no doubts they would do it well.
Since Psychonauts 2 came out, I’ve been wondering how the series would continue. (If it would at all, to be quite honest I’m very content with the 3 games DoubleFine has given us, but y’know, more content lol) I’m not sure if this idea has been put out there already, and if it was this would be very embarrassing for me, but I would just love to see a game in Raz’s head. After basically saving the world on three separate occasions over the course of a couple days, it would only be fair that he rests and sorts things out in his OWN mind. He would traverse the dream world, fight his nightmares, interact with the mental constructs of everyone he’s met, and most importantly, comes to terms with both the events that occurred and his newly discovered repressed psychic powers. (If u know, u know) I would imagine the characters are like constructs he created in like a reverse-clairvoyance, where we see how Raz perceives the characters, rather than the characters that perceive Raz. It would also be cool to see how his mind looks now that he’s accepted his family’s history and learned to empathize and see their side of the story.
Basically, to sum things up, he’s been spending all of his time assisting other people with their traumas and mental problems, now it’s time to sort out his own baggage. Idk, just thought I’d put this out there bc it’s fun to think about the future of your favorite games.

@@magicrainbowkitties1023 that was Linda moving the mucus bubble
Yes the hand that drags you down is raz doing it to himself
It's Lucy subconsciously using her powers on the family, ironically turning into an actual curse that helped them.
That's why the water hand waved goodbye to Raz at the end, the curse was lifted and it was showing itself for the last time.
The only Thing i wanted was seeing my baby boy growing up to an adult man 😭

Playing both games back-to-back a few months ago, I definitely notice the writing having shifted to be more heartfelt. That being said, I really enjoy this game and there's glimpses of the old _bite_ the first game had, particularly when you talk to Otto. Solid direction, mind.
The fungus quest was originally to potentially help Lili's father. You activated the quest after beating the game.
Either way, the fungus is pointless.
You also went to Morris before completing Queepie's quest. He should be there as his new DJ.
Love the post game stories.
It's funny that Otto blames Ford for Maligula happening when it was Otto's experimentations on her that made Maligula possible. Ford just fell in love with her and hid her away after the fact.
Wow. Raz's dad truly is a wise qnd compassionate man. A true rolemodel to his family.
Otto feels like he's going to be trouble going forward. Not a main villain but someone like Laboto who will end up supplying the next villain with some of his gear. Artificial Psychics anyone?

I like how Helmut responded with “And after that we’re gonna buy a treadmill to rescue Bobby’s Body.”

"hi there."
"razputin..."
"i'll leave you 2 alone."
17:19 You know, it only took me NOW to release Norma was voiced by Catherine Taber, you might recognize her for voicing Lori Loud.
Psychonauts really give me a DR STRANGE VIBE
I hope that sometime in the future they make another psychonauts game set at whispering rock where you can make a custom character. Something cheap like an RPG would make sense, I think. The psychonauts IP is robust enough to transition into other genres.
Yeah having an option to be what type of psychic you want to be would be awesome
I have this dream for Psychonauts 3 to have a level editor of sorts. You don't get a boss or anything, but just are able to choose from a set of assets and styles and functionally map your brain out (with certain restrictions of course). Otto's Brainframe would be a good level selector to just jump into a custom brain level just to do some exploration.
I don't know what it would've been, but I wish this game got *some* kind of dlc.
Who’s hoping for a psychonauts 3
