And it's out!
Aaand it's actually getting really good reviews! :o
Even though I love the first game I wasn't very excited about this until now. After all the delays I had already forgotten the whole game, so it coming out without any fanfare and actually turning out to be good is a very positive surprise! Psychonauts 2 would be an insta-buy for me but I've already got too many things going on, so it'll go to the top of my wishlist for now.

I've played a bit of it this morning and it seems exactly what I was expecting. Basic movement feels a bit slow, but the levitation ball takes over pretty soon and it's like a whole different.. er.. ball game. The tone seems to be pretty much intact, as well as the silly humour. Combat seems a bit beefed up, but it's pretty much the same Psychonauts so far.
Every once in a while you get exactly what you hoped for from crowdfunding, and it seems to be the case here.

I had no idea this was out this month. Five years ago the gaming press would have trumpeted this fact ad nauseam, but sadly Double Fine tarnished its reputation with some middling followups.
Anyway, it's time to stop reading this thread for the foreseeable future, lest I spoil myself. :p

What makes you think the gaming press is NOT trumpeting it? From what I can see, every major gaming site has covered the release, and many already have reviews up.

Every major gaming site covers every release, barring indies. Reviews exist; so what?

Then what are you even saying? That they didn't cover it sufficiently ad nauseam for you to notice?

That I'm surprised I didn't hear about it, given that I spend too much time reading gaming websites. Half a decade ago a release of Psychonauts 2 would have been up there with an announcement of Half Life 3.
