Naturally you start Double Fine’s catalogue with a 32 episode documentary on the development of Psychonauts 2 followed by 20 episode documentary on the development of Broken Age. I really loved seeing the humans behind the games but I have a healthy level of skepticism around auteurs. Fortunately after playing Psychonauts I can say that the game is a joy and a great deal of that joy comes from Tim Schafer’s writing, so he gets a pass for now.

I really thought I was just trying to put this game behind me to enjoy the main course that will be the sequel but this was really lovely. The Platforming holds up well for its age, think Mario Sunshine where I was expecting 64. I’m playing Broken Age next as a little palette cleanser, I hope it’s as clever!
