There's nothing like a second chance to make a first impression. Sequels come with baggage and can be even harder to make than the original game. Psychonauts 2 and Mini Motorways are very different games with very different development teams, but both found a path to becoming fantastic followups to Psychonauts and Mini Metro. How did they do it? Come on in and watch!
