Oh fuck yeah. This is fantastic news. And we get amnesia fortnight back in the mix. Great news all around.

Oh, fk yeah. I can’t wait to boot up a few battle royale rounds as Daniel. If they make Agrippa playable, it’d be fun to see him do the default dance. /s

I went back to Psychonauts two when I heard the rumors stirring that Microsoft was gonna can the studio; I’m glad I did. I bounced off of it for some reason a while back but after coming back I ended up 100% it. If they put it out on switch I’ll probably buy it again

I hope they remaster psychonauts 1, i went back recently and i do not have a good time making it work, and then i have to rebind it to my controller, and some menu just doesn't work well with the rebinded key.

The PC one is hell to get working with a controller on Steam Deck. I followed a guide, got it all set up, it worked, then it suddenly reverted. I uninstalled. They should absolutely release a version that's designed to play well with controllers.

Yeah, i have to do a lot of tweaks on the compatibility and key binding just to make it functional, then got to the milkman conspiracy, decided i had enough of it.

The PC version was always ass. I think I ended up playing it via back compatibility on the 360...

I had little trouble with it tbh.

I think i played with m+kb last time since the whole port is design with that in mind, can't remember the experience, but i guess it's serviceable since i finished it.

I recently bought Brutal Legend and both Psychonauts games because they are great games. Would give Kiln a shake if I was keen on online multiplayer games.

The devs recently came back to play the online multiplayer to help players get a difficult achievement.

At least Double Fine owns the rights to their games. Who knows what Micro$oft has done to the studios they bought and gutted.

That's nice at least, Double Fine are one of those devs that have just been doing their own thing for a while now.
They're never going to make the next Fortnite, but on the bright side they're never going to make the next Fortnite.

Hell yes. Now I'm debating buying each one again on steam.
I bought Psychonauts 2 on Xbox/PC when it first came out and they were still under Microsoft. And I've bought the first game plenty of times already so I honestly have no issue doing so again. And now it seems like an especially good time to get into their other games like Kiln and Keeper.

Way ahead of you pal. Keep making games!

Neato. I have the first one, and finally got it working with a controller. I had to rebind all the controller buttons to keyboard buttons, but the control sticks work fine, and that was the most critical part of it.
