You’ll fight monsters of the mind (“Regrets” and “Doubts” in physicalized form) while collectibles like “Emotional Baggage” and “Repressed Memories” are secrets tucked away, up high in obscure corners or behind secret doors and false walls. Fleshy pink walls line the level, while toothy doors require you to unzip them using telekinesis. Loboto’s mindscape is a grizzly realm of body horror. These early levels are sort of like Christopher Nolan’s Inception - a team of spies working together to infiltrate and overcome a mind’s defenses. Together with other members of the Psychonauts, an elite group of psychic secret agents, you help construct an alternate reality for Loboto to try and manipulate him into giving over information. Picking up from where the original game left off, you’re immediately thrown into the mind of ex-dentist Dr. It handles a litany of complex psychological issues - and some darker themes - with a great deal of warmth and compassion, to go along with all the humor.
