  Wow that was a wild ride! This was an incredibly weird game but..... incredibly weird in a really awesome and fun way! I loved how random all of the areas where and it wasn't too difficult too which is really nice! If you like to be more serious don't get it but.... if you like a bit of randomness and not having to work too hard then this is the game for you!

  The upbeat Badalamenti-esque music in the menu screen sets the tone for a weird and fun casual adventure. A little too easy, but worth it for the dreamscapes, gentle humor, and laid-back strangeness that permeates everything. [i]Hypnosis[/i] unrelentingly radiates positivity: Life isn't a race. We're too hard on ourselves. So much of what we regret wasn't as bad as we remember. We are [i]all[/i] going to be okay! Could have done with tougher, less abstract situational puzzles and without the skippable mobile game battles with phobias, though their entrances were always worth a chuckle. I probably would have beaten them all anyway if I had gems left to buy power-ups after splurging on Maya's S&M outfit.

  Now this is my kind of game. Remember that movie The Cell, with Jennifer Lopez? Me either, but anyway. You play as a mental health professional, well, actually a hypnotist. A mental health professional the same way a chiropractor is a doctor, but that's neither here nor there. The same can be said in the game, as you have the ability to enter peoples minds and wander about the disjointed dreamscapes of their brainlands. Neither reality nor fantasy, these bizarre dioramas are both creepy and lovely, bringing to mind other games such as Sanitarium or The Cat Lady. As you wander these areas that would make Freud think twice about just what a cigar really is, you solve mysteries like Scooby Doo, and do battle with nefarious Fig Men of Imagination. If you enjoy surrealsim, then don't Dali, check this game out.

  This game is like... really, really terrible. I hate giving bad reviews but even ignoring the borderline-offensive stereotypes and extremely hammy dialogue - the puzzles themselves are super simple. I felt like I was playing a kids game! The story was also pretty much non-sensical as well. Some of the art was nice... so it has that going for it lol

  This game has a lot of replay value. It's the first game I played on steam and I still go back to it often to try and fill out all the achievements. The little strategic goblin battle things get increasingly more difficult and it can be frustrating trying to play through them, but they're definitely possible and they force you to think outside of the box which is p cool. It's ok if you skip though a few of them the first time around, because you'll defintely want to go back and replay it. Nice, easy play for when you're looking to waste time.

  This game is a true gem that can hardly be compared to the other, so often boring and inexpressive games of the same genre, as this one offers more that just point-and-click adventure, it offers truly entertaining story and amazing attention to the details. Bright, colorful and extremely creative designs are beyond any praise. The puzzles are fairly simple, but they fit the gameplay perfectly. The overall impressions are highly positive with the undeniably pleasant aftertaste.

  The puzzles aren't great, the writing and dialogue aren't great, the minigames are kinda ok but the plot is pure wtf. I recommend this one just for the plot and the game looks kinda nice. Too bad they didn't go as far with all the being inside others head as Psychonauts did (play that game if you haven't already, it's pure gold).

  The story for this game is ridiculous, but in a good way. I really wouldn't recommend the game for just the story-line, though. While funny, the main gameplay is simply too easy to be too much fun. The reason I recommend the game is for the "tower defense-esque" mini game, which you can go back and play after you are done with the main campaign (sort of like getting 3 stars on each level for Angry Birds). There are quite a number of levels to attempt to master, and I found this very satisfying.

  When looking for an easy but enjoyable game, Hypnosis is a good one to play for an afternoon. The story is pretty basic, you are a hypnotherapist who gets called by the police to come to a secluded little place in the middle of nowhere which serves as a clinic, all of this because your exboyfriend (who works there) has vanished. Meet some of the characters: (who are THE MOST stereotype characters in the world) a punk teenage girl who thinks her parents don't love her, an autistic indian who loves writing code, a confused mathematician who lookes like einstein etc. As a hypnotherapist you ''dive'' into their subconsciousness, where you have to find out what the problem is and how you can fix it. I found this to be the most fun part of the game, as every consciousness is unique and can be fun to explore. And despite the fact that the characters are rather bland, it is fun to get to know their inner thoughts better. You battle so called ''phobias'' in an easy battlesystem, don't go looking for a challenge here. The main storyline is actually less interesting than the characters.. I found it to be rather dissapointing. However the game is enjoyable and very easy to play through, it only took me about 5 hours (and this is even when you use all of your ''talking'' options and exploring options). So i wouldn't buy it for more than 5. And, as an official psychologist, i have to say that every psychological aspect of this game is complete nonsense... really, what a load of crap.. But in all, an enjoyable game to play if you don't want to think too hard and just have fun for a few hours!

  This game is what Psychonauts would be without the Meat Circus. In fact, this game is basically Psychonauts but not tedious and with a strange eastern european charm. (Not jank. Charm. Never crashed on me, never buggy, nothing awkwardly translated.) If you want a surrealist adventure game that begins with a missing persons case and turns into "the internet is a metaphor for the universe itself", you're in the right place. Look at my flashlight.
