It’s been just over a week since the release of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Psychonauts 2, and speedrunners are alꦐready getting the measure of Double Fine’s latest masterpiece. Completion times have been steadily falling since players h♍ave begun posting their times to , and now the fastest time has fallen below two hours for an any% run.
ItzBytez currently has the top spot with his run of 1h 54m 41s. It's hardly a perfect run, as ItzBytez dies a few times, but it's still minutes ahead of the nearest competition.
To put this into perspective, lists Psychonauts 2 as requiring between 13-18 hours for most players to complete. If you're a completionist going for everything, it'll be around 25.5 hours, unless you're George, in which case it'll be a few more hours trying to find that last ♊banana fragment.
From watching ItzBytez's run, you really get a sense of just how much dialog is in this game. Quickly skipping through every conversation cuts the game in half all on its own. That's not a bad thing--most would agree that the witty and amusing dialog of Psychonauts 2 is one of the game's stronger points.
It does, however, cut down on replayability as there's not a lot of interaction when a game is mostly dialog. Psychonauts 2 makes up for this a bit with its boss fights, but speedrunners are somewhat at odds with some of Psychonauts 2's bosses. The Compton Cookoff boss fight, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:besides being super gross, features some randomness that can make speedrunning it more a matter of luck🅰 than skill.
ItzBytez's luck holds for this run, but there's definitely still room for improvement. Give it another week and Psychonauts 2 speedrunners might have this game down to just an hour and a half.
Given a few decades, Psychonauts 2 players may even match Ocarina of Time in getting the game down to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:just a few minutes.
