This game is funny. It's also incredibly well put together. Controls are tight, gameplay is fun, combat works well, and is challenging in all the right ways. Incredibly imaginative level design, from disco parkour courses, a topsy-turvy neighborhood, a tabletop wargame, and even a freaking Kaiju level...where you're the Kaiju! Entertaining and engaging story and characters. Milla is an actual comfort to listen to, the inmates at the ruined asylum fascinating and compelling, and Doogan is simultaneously concerningly innocent...or innocently concerning?
I'm hesitant to say this is the definitive example of 2000s 3D action platformersthat honor goes to Blinx the Timesweeper (/j), but it is most certainly, assuredly, and absolutely among the top 5, at least.

@Toomanygames (idk if this works lol)
Some family friends give us one of their original Xboxes for Christmas in the mid 2010s, and this was installed on it (along with Xbox Media Center). I decided to play it at one point, and fell in love with it then and there.

Blinx, to clarify, not Psychonauts lol (though that would have been equally as awesome tbh)
@Leumeister personally I prefer Blinx 2, takes everything the first game does and ramps it up to 11
@Toomanygames I played about 10 minutes of Blinx 2, and the gameplay is so much tighter. I'd honestly love a remaster that takes the polish Blinx 2 has and put it into Blinx 1. I really want to play Blinx 2 as well.
