Psychonauts​ 2 is doing the business with $1m raised in a scant 14 hours.

The Fig-based crowdfunding campaign went live last night after being announced at The Game Awards.

Despite raising six figures in about half a day, this is not a crowdfunding record for video games as Shenmue 3 set a Guinness World Record for raising $1m on Kickstarter in only 102 minutes.

Unlike other crowdfunding platforms, Fig allows backers to invest in a product, then reap the royalties once it goes to market. You can find out more about that here.

Psychonauts 2's current tally is at $1,025,427 with 34 days left to reach its $3.3m goal.

For more on Psychonauts 2, we spoke at length with series creator Tim Schafer about his vision for this long anticipated sequel.

Iar se aruncă cu bani în Tim Schaffer? Nu s-a învățat lumea minte?

nostalgia is a powerful thing. Eu n-o sa particip la crowdfunding, dar o sa-mi iau Psychonauts 2 cand apare.

Critic Reviews
Spoiler:
Explosion Network - Ciaran Marchant - 10 / 10
Psychonauts 2 excels where others have failed by crafting a story experience that welcomes players, new and old, into the fantastically absurd world of the Psychonauts. I will not forget my time with Psychonauts 2 easily; the characters and themes have left a lasting impression.
Gamerheadquarters - Jason Stettner - 10 / 10
Psychonauts 2 is a perfect 3D platformer offering a well balanced challenge that’s engaging and filled with a lengthy narrative that provides many laughs alongside heavier emotional beats.
GamingTrend - David Flynn - 100 / 100
Psychonauts 2 is the perfect sequel. It builds on everything the original game was while adding its own unique spin on gameplay and story. The overworld is a joy to explore and the levels are more stylish and dazzling than ever before with fantastic controls. It's a fantastic experience that will stick with you, and has a ton to see and do.
Pure Xbox - 10 / 10
It's honestly astounding how incredible Psychonauts 2 is. After 16 years, the expectations for the sequel were so high it felt as though they were impossible to meet. We don't know how they did it, but the wizards at Double Fine not only met them but smashed through them with ease. Psychonauts 2 is an extraordinary achievement in both its gameplay and storytelling, balancing heavy themes of mental health with its whimsical world. In lesser hands, it could have been a disaster, but the team has taken every aspect of the original game, built upon it and respected the fanbase in the process. Psychonauts 2 is the best game of 2021 so far and one of the greatest sequels ever made.
VG247 - Tyler Rowe - 5 / 5 stars
This was a review I picked up on a whim, looking to try something new, and now I’m walking away with a strong new game of the year contender. Psychonauts 2 is fun, funny, heartfelt, and handles its themes with a deft and gentle hand. Thanks to its great recapping, anyone can play regardless of their history with the series, and I recommend you do!
Marooners' Rock - Matt Kowalski - 9.5 / 10
The game offers players a variety of ways to play Psychonauts 2 and makes it accessible for most gamers.
PC Invasion - Andrew Farrell - 9.5 / 10
A tour-de-force of sumptious visuals and world-class game design come together for a truly impressive feast for the senses. Psychonauts 2 is a must-play title for fans and newcomers alike.
Paste Magazine - Garrett Martin - 9.5 / 10
Too many of these games fall into that witless trap of thinking something "serious" and "important" must also be humorless and dark, unrelentingly grim and fatalistic. Psychonauts 2 reveals that for the nonsense that it is, showing that you can more powerfully and realistically depict emotion when you use warmth, humor, humanity-the whole scope of emotions that make us who we are. Psychonauts 2 asks "how does it feel to feel?", and then shows the answer to us-and the games industry at large-in brilliant colors.
Wccftech - 9.5 / 10
Psychonauts 2 delivers on everything it madly promises. That includes old school platforming with new school precision, an impressive visual style that never falters, and a world begging to be explored.
Atomix - Alberto Desfassiaux - Spanish - 94 / 100
‎All the passion, affection and dedication of Tim Schafer's team is reflected in a practically round video game that is difficult to find defects of consideration. Its impeccable script took you through an exciting story full of themes that are not usually touched within the middle, spectacular art direction and graphics of squearing, a sublime design of levels that exalts game mechanics, and very well polished controls, are just some of the reasons why we believe, Psychonauts 2 has to be yes or yes in the lists of the best games of the year, and without a doubt, as one of the best titles that Microsoft has had the honor of publishing in its already rich history within the medium.‎
The Games Machine - Paolo Besser - Italian - 9.4 / 10
The very existence of Psychonauts 2 demonstrates that good ideas have to overcome a thousand difficulties before being realized, but in the end they somehow impose themselves. It took years for the first chapter to overcome people's skepticism but, day after day, it has built up a fan base so large that we were finally able to play with a full-fledged, high budget sequel. And it's beautiful. Pleasant, original, colorful, compelling. Do you need more adjectives to be convinced?
Game Informer - Andrew Reiner - 9 / 10
Well worth the wait and better than the original, Psychonauts 2 hits its stride early and never loses steam
Game Rant - Dalton Cooper - 4.5 / 5 stars
Psychonauts 2 was worth the 16-year wait, as it's easily Double Fine's best game so far and a strong contender for Game of the Year.
GameByte - Joshua Boyles - 9 / 10
Playing Psychonauts 2 is like taking a step back in time in the best way possible.
Hardcore Gamer - Kyle LeClair - 4.5 / 5
While Psychonauts 2 is an impressive platformer, it doesn't match the perfection of the original.
Hobby Consolas - David Martinez - Spanish - 90 / 100
‎A brilliant platformer, both in design and imagination. It has captivated us by the variety in development, the sense of humor and its way of transforming mental processes into elements - and enemies - of the game. The technical (not artistic) section is correct, although it falls short of other "next gen" games.‎
LevelUp - Pedro Pérez Cesari - Spanish - 9 / 10
‎Psychonauts 2‎‎ exists and it is almost a miracle that we have it in our hands. It seemed that its genre was dead to many and the failure of its first installment made us understand why no money-gowned wanted to touch the franchise even with a stick. That said, the collective effort of the community; the enormous talent and heart of the Double Fine team and the work of Xbox Game Studios made it happen. It's an excellent game that I'll be grateful for proving that 3D platformers can be more than just toys for kids.‎
Merlin'in Kazanı - Samet Basri Taşlı - Turkish - 90 / 100
Psychonauts 2 manages to do justice to the long wait. A great adventure that appeals to players of all ages awaits you.
PCGamesN - Dustin Bailey - 9 / 10
A rare sequel that improves on the original in every meaningful way. It's packed to the brim with beautiful worlds and surprising interactions, and its colourful cast is equal parts funny, believable, and sympathetic. Double Fine is rarely wide of the mark, but this time it hit the bullseye.
Screen Rant - Joseph Fonseca - 4.5 / 5 stars
Psychonauts 2 is a must-play for anyone interested in what modern platformers can do and what a compelling comedy adventure looks like in 2021.
Shacknews - TJ Denzer - 9 / 10
It’s wild to think how many years of development are here in this game, but the end product is undeniably polished and top-to-bottom good gaming.
Sirus Gaming - Carri Grant Raffy Abenoja - 9 / 10
Psychonauts 2 deals about being left alone and losing loved ones, amongst many other serious mental conditions. Playing through can be a burden to one’s chest. The game got personal to me. Especially at the latter parts where emotions are flowing through every NPC’s past. I suggest you take a breather as much as you can. And as much as I enjoyed the game, I had to rest after every boss battle and the following closure to most worlds. The first game sold fewer copies than intended when it launched. And with the fun, I had playing through Psychonauts 2, here’s to hoping it gets the attention it deserves.
Stevivor - Steve Wright - 9 / 10
I couldn’t help but giggle at its stupid jokes and wackiness.
TheGamer - George Foster - 4.5 / 5 stars
It’s rare that a long-awaited sequel does most things right, but this is one of those times and I’m confident in saying that Psychonauts 2 is Double Fine’s best game to date and an early contender for game of the year.
TheSixthAxis - Stefan L - 9 / 10
A decade and a half on from the original, Psychonauts 2 is a worthy successor to Double Fine's cult classic. The platforming and combat gameplay is tighter, the world design is as varied and inventive as ever, and while the story is full of twists, turns and comedic moment, there's also a wonderful sense of empathy and tenderness throughout. Simply put, Psychonauts 2 has been worth the wait.
PC Gamer - Matthew Castle - 89 / 100
Improved platforming underpins a glorious return to one of gaming's most inventive and empathic universes.
IGN - Tom Marks - 8 / 10
Even with a few rough edges, Psychonauts 2 is just about everything I could have hoped for from this long-awaited sequel.
Metro GameCentral - GameCentral - 8 / 10
A great sequel that is just as surreal and imaginative as the original and manages to be both a silly comedy platformer and a surprisingly affecting character study of regret and lost love.
Eurogamer - Edwin Evans-Thirlwell - Recommended
As witty, eccentric and imaginative as the 2005 action-platformer, with a more developed understanding of mental health.
Polygon - Ewan Wilson - Unscored
Psychonaut 2's levels are some of the most inventive in the platforming genre. There's an over-the-top cooking game show where you carry food stuff through a giant platforming gauntlet. There's also a humongous mailroom sorting office where you jump from flying envelope to flying envelope, all the while avoiding the vortex of letters below. You'll visit highly imaginative, gravity-bending dreamscape after dreamscape.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Alice Bell - Unscored
It is playful. It's fun. It's climbing inside a giant wedding cake, riding flying letters, taking part in a giant cooking show with eggs that are excited to be boiled kind of fun.
