I think the only thing I'm saddened by is how 'normal' a lot of characters are visually

[Vahnkiljoy]

There are no Dogens or anyone else remotely resembling the crazy looking characters from the first game, hell I keep forgetting Sam is Dogens sister,

[Arjan Lexiphous]

I think it's because most of the campers are inexperienced kids and the interns learned something at least

[Majora]

Sam does look like Dogen here and there when her eyes go looking in different directions. Also she is way more....domineering than her brother when it comes to animals.

I do forget that Sam is Dogen's sister, but I easily remember she's super weird to animals. I mean, c'mon, she milked a bird for the pancake batter.

the game as a whole has a more "serious" vibe than the first one which I'm kinda iffy about

[Bouncer]

Yeah I miss the older designs too. It's especially noticable when old characters like Lili, Loboto, Ford, and Oleander show up in scenes with new characters.

The new designs aren't bad but they're so symmetrical with mostly normal proportions. I think only Cassie and Helmut are asymmetrical, and the latter has very little screentime

I suppose it is to reflect that these are more well adjusted characters instead of the looney bin that was Whispering Rock, but it's still a shame.

Otto's mouth bugs me. It's like a weird puppet flap that opens everytime he speaks.

So still worth buying at full price?

Compared to other games that get released at that price? Yeah, Psychonauts 2 stands out, it's fantastic.
For people who love the hilarious insanity of the original Psychonauts, the sequel has less of it, but still a lot more compared to other games, and it improves on the first game in other significant ways.

I have a character in the Sims 4 who's dressed exactly like Sam and makes me feel weird every time I see that dress lol.
Both games have the same character designer and the characters in this one are both more adjusted, older, and therefore less immature in the way they dress. I think it works well. There's definitely a whole lot less body horror and disfigurements in this game than the original though.

Personally, I'd say yes. It's different than the first but not really a bad thing. first one was very focused on the insanity of the minds we went into, without really fixing much. This one's more about common, but just as serious issues people face while emphasizing the dangers of trying to force change or "fix" people.

Same world, same interesting characters, same crazy visuals. So if you loved the story in the last one you'll likely enjoy this one.
