Love this game to bits, love it even more for this. Very good decision from SCS and I hope they get compensated well for it. ETS2 is so much more than "just another sim game"

Been using this for years to map the numpad onto the side of my Scimitar Pro mouse. Quality software!

Morrowind gets shiny in OpenMW with post-processing shaders coming

Goodness that looks gorgeous. It's almost giving me a Myst feeling ☺️

Morrowind is my favourite TES game, but admittedly I also think it aged like milk. OpenMW helps me cope with that more and more with every update.

Might be time to upgrade from my trusty old 2600.. This iteration of Ryzen has got me pretty excited :O

I mean it's decent but it's starting to show its age.

Quoting: Nocifer
Quoting: ridgeLooking forward to this! Already 100%'ed the game (I couldn't help it) but I'm still excited to check out the quality of the Linux port.
If you've played the first Psychonauts, how is this story- and jazziness-wise compared to that unique gem of a game? Is it worth being called "Psychonauts"? I mean, seeing as you've 100%'ed it and are still excited about it speaks volumes, but I guess I'd still like a straight answer :)
Dibz summed it up much better than I could ever! It's so very much deserving to be called a Psychonauts game, it's lovely all around and so well written. All the characters have developed a lot, plus the level designs are very diverse and so much fun to explore as well, it's really got that signature Double Fine charm to it, but indeed it's all in a different way than the original game. And also as Dibz said, that's not a bad thing! It's just a product of its time in the best way possible.

If someone told me "I liked the original better" I would totally see it. Personally I don't know which one I like more, none of the levels are up there with the Milkman Conspiracy (but what is?), however one of the levels were extremely personal to me as someone who struggles with addiction and substance abuse, it was a very comforting journey and I respect the writers for writing it the way they did. For me the two games are tied, I can't pick a favourite.

No matter tho, if someone liked the original Psychonauts, they'll most likely love the second. It has something for everyone.

I've told myself many times if I ever publish a commercial game, I'll also pull off something like this. Pretty cool imo!
