For those just hearing about Psychonauts for the first time, you probably don't know that the first title was actually released almost 20 years before Psychonauts 2 hit consoles. Luckily, though, you don't necessarily need to play it to understand the happenings in Psychonauts 2.

While the original title has since been released on multiple updated platforms (and is often found cheap), this direct sequel is easy to pick up without knowing its predecessor. If you want to dive right into Psychonauts 2, go ahead and just do so!
