Pyschonauts, which came out in 2005, was one of the most unique and beloved “cult” games of its console generation. The first release from LucasArts wunderkind Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Studios (Schafer, as you hopefully know, is responsible for basically all the very best adventure games) Psychonauts is a truly wonderful title, one that tried its damnedest not to be like anything else, and of course was rewarded with pretty apocalyptic sales numbers. Nevertheless, for those who played it, we got a real gift: a game with actual laugh out loud humor, lovable well formed characters, inventive level and mechanic design, and a story that was legitimately engrossing.

If you’ve never played it, please, go find a used copy for like $5 or just buy it on Steam. Or, hopefully, you can soon play a sequel! How could this be possible, you might ask. Isn’t Double Fine so broke that they can only make downloadable titles now like Stacking and Costume Quest? Well, you’re right. Except Double Fine now has it’s own angel investor. None other than Markus “Notch” Persson, creator of wildly successful Minecraft, has offered to finance a Psychonauts sequel. And he’s completely serious. Fuck yes. Please gaming gods, let this really happen.
