Keepers: Psychonauts

Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge of merit.

I’ve been waiting a while for this one. If you didn’t know that this website takes its name from a location (the best location) in Psychonauts, then you probably haven’t played the game. If that’s the case, you’ve seriously missed out. Psychonauts is by far the funniest game I’ve ever played, and beyond that, it’s just a good game. Where else can you go on a misson to rescue your friends’ brains? In what other game can you summon a psychic janitor with a piece of bacon? And how many games let you enter the mind of an insane actress and battle the theater critics that plague her psyche?

Psychonauts is hilarious ridiculous fun. I’ve replayed the game start to finish, and likely will again at some point. That’s really what makes a game a Keeper.
