Game News Psychonauts 2: already dated, the soundtrack will be offered two vinyl editions not to be missed
It took 16 years for the brilliant Psychonauts to rise from the ashes by making a remarkable comeback. A sequel that we did not fail to recommend to you last summer and which was also illustrated by a quality soundtrack to be rediscovered soon on vinyl!
Psychedelic music for a completely crazy game
The Just for Games team has just announced the opening of pre-orders for two vinyl editions entirely dedicated to the soundtrack of the game Psychonauts 2. This is rather good because the series is worth at least as much for its atypical approach as for its tormented universe and its psychedelic sound atmosphere.
Psychonauts 2’s soundtrack is as wonderfully eclectic as the rest of the game, ranging from campfire tunes to jam rock, and truly earning the “psychedelic” label. – Just for Games
Sixteen years after emerging from the creative brains of Tim Schafer and the Double Fine teams, the universe of Psychonauts has brilliantly returned to the forefront of the video game scene in a second part that will have marked the spirits of the most curious players. If you’ve read our Psychonauts 2 test, you know all the good things we think about this title which offers “an eventful adventure, divided between explorable open areas and sick brains which will be so many crazy scenes to cross and face. “.
