The Psychonauts - The First Episode

It's so incredible that it makes every other like, hey, there's a great piece of games that I'm talking about. We talked to these developers for like two hours about how stressful it was to make it. Compare that to seeing meetings break down and like friendships fall apart over six years. It blew my damn mind. That first episode is still incredibly good even if you haven't played the games.
