There should be a post game town select for missable collectibles

[Starchu ✪]

Imagine being thorough and then missing the storybook page in fivetropolis since the point of no return is so vague, or picking the wrong prompt for the secret encounter in Sixtopia,

Just let us explore past towns just like what Psychonauts 2 post-game did.
It would sill makes sense with how the story ended. Just disable all NPC interaction that aren't linked with achievements and edit out any lines about the queen which I think are pretty minimal.

EDIT: There would still be 2 missable story achievements as well as the combat ones but for those I wouldn't mind getting in another game file since they are, I dunno, NOT near the end of the frikkin game.

This is an awful situation that we have found ourselves in as well...

Seriously. I missed one thing at the beginning of Fivetropolis thinking I could return. Nope, just a completely linear area, unlike every preceding zone in the game...

I agree! Once I started Threedom on my first save, I realized I missed two achievements that I wouldnt be able to get unless I started over. Now I am being extremely cautious before starting future levels. Currently I am on Fourburg now on my second playthrough. I think I only have 2 missable achievements.. (the Closure one and Bern, Baby Bern)... Besides the story pages and puzzles. I love this game but for real, the missable achievements need to have an easier way to achieve them besides starting the whole game over again.

Agreed.

In the fifth district i wanted to find the book and i strayed too far and i must have passed a point of no return because the game didnt let me go back, worse yet, the previous worlds all looped on themselves so when you were done you could go back to collect things

Not in fivetown. Its linear, with points of no return, cuz ♥♥♥♥ you
