Really fun and cute climbing game that can get pretty difficult at times.
I love the all the quirky characters and the music.
But above all else you can spin around like an absolute mad lad and fling yourself 50 feet into the air. Never gets old

It might just be my nostalgia speaking, but I felt like Psychonauts 2 just didn't have as many memorable moments as the first game. There's a lot of fantastic stuff in this game for sure, but it feels like some of the magic has faded.
I still enjoyed the heck out of it either way. And if you temper your expectations a bit I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well. I definitely recommend it, especially if you're a fan of the original Psychonauts.

True to its name, it's definitely a difficult game about climbing. And a good one!
Despite a few annoyances (like some confusing signage halfway into the game) I had a lot of fun with it.
The controls are pretty intuitive on controller, but I could never really get used to the mouse controls. And flinging remained difficult for me right up to the end of the game. But I managed to beat it after a while, and getting to the peak after struggling for so long was really satisfying. I'll probably be coming back to this to try and climb the mountain faster for a while

I definitely recommend giving this game a shot, especially if you've enjoyed other difficult climbing games like Getting Over It or Jump King

This game is great! I love the vibrant artstyle, and the music is fantastic. And the gameplay is super hectic and fun.

There's a much greater emphasis on momentum in this game compared to your typical 3D platformer. Which means the controls have a bit of a learning curve. But once you get the hang of it, speeding through a level and chaining together combos feels super satisfying to pull off.

I definitely recommend giving this game a try, I'm having a blast with it

Short but good game. The tongue grappling can be pretty janky at times though. But flinging yourself up with it after going really fast is really satisfying if you can pull it off. There's lots of opportunities to schmoove so if you like speedrunning I think you'll like Crumble

The characters and story are bland and uninteresting. Everybody has the same cheery attitude which got pretty old by the end.
But I'm still giving it a thumbs-up, because I did like the gameplay, despite a few annoyances (like having to always hold a button to run, and constantly having to backtrack back to the first area to unlock the next set of levels).
Thankfully there's a button to skip dialogue, which I recommend you use liberally if you decide to play this game.

Overall, it's not bad. Pick it up if you can get it on sale.

I really enjoyed this game. Climbing higher and seeing all the beautiful new areas was a real joy. It's pretty easy, but the gameplay is good, and the climbing mechanics kept me actively engaged the entire time.

I ran into a couple bugs, and at one point I had to restart from a checkpoint. But the game autosaves often so it wasn't a huge deal.

The story is told to you bit-by-bit via letters that are scattered throughout the tower. I didn't find them all, but I found enough to get the jist of it. And what I did find really helped to make the world feel more compelling.

It's a fairly short game, but it never overstayed its welcome. I beat it in just under 5 hours, and I felt like I got my money's worth. I'm already thinking of replaying it just to find all the stuff I missed.

Overall, if you're looking for a short but sweet climbing adventure, then I definitely recommend picking up Jusant.

tedious and unfulfilling

in the first game, there were only 2 characters I enjoyed playing as.
they removed one of those characters.
now there is only one character in the entire roster that I enjoy playing as.
I tried the new characters. They aren't fun.
There's some that come close to being fun. But they come with serious caveats that make me never want to pick them.

Super difficult but super fun. Love Calum Bowen's music in it
