Use your mind(s.)

Players will need to collect a Half-A-Mind set to gain extra Mental Energy. Finding and connecting these two collectibles will give Raz another chunk of Mental Energy with four health segments. These collectibles are always near each other, so if you see one Half-A-Mind, traverse the area in pursuit of its partner piece. Make sure to press the button prompt when near the collectible, as it requires input, unlike Figments and Baggage Tags.

Some levels contain several sets of Half-A-Mind, while others lack the collectibles entirely. Make sure to check Raz's journal regularly to check a level's progress, and if you miss some pieces, don't fret, as repeating missions is always an option.

With stellar reviews wracking up for Psychonauts 2, this is one platformer that is sure to be a standout for 2021.
