The Grand Head, Truman Zanotto, is still recovering from a kidnapping.Īll of this makes “Psychonauts 2” follow the path of the original, but the sequel has more of a focus. He has to prove himself to the interns and to the Psychonauts’ second-in-command Hollis Forsythe, who is running the Motherlobe headquarters. For all his exploits, he starts at Square 1 just like in the original. Fresh off his deeds at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp and the Rhombus of Ruin, Raz finds himself as an intern for the Psychonauts, a secret spy-like organization staffed by people with paranormal abilities.Īfter his heroics, the protagonist finds himself at the bottom rung of the ladder as the interns - all older than a 10-year-old boy - look at him with derision.

Raz, left, has to prove himself to fellow interns such as Sam Boole in “Psychonauts 2,” For me, the wait was significantly shorter as “Psychonauts 2” launched a few days ago.
