   Knack is a great game. it is visually stunning. it is an amazing game to play if you have small children. My son and I have enjoyed this gameKnack is a great game. it is visually stunning. it is an amazing game to play if you have small children. My son and I have enjoyed this game together. he is 4 years old and he loves playing as my co-op player. It is good to see my son enjoying games like I did when I was younger. It brings back memories of me playing Mario with my father and now I get to play with my son. It is nice that Sony thought of the family aspect with the ps4. Not everything has to have blood n gore or be a shooter. Great job Sony… Expand

   Idc what anybody says, this game is NOT BAD. Was it a bad launch title for the PS4? Yes of course, but I feel like that can distract peopleIdc what anybody says, this game is NOT BAD. Was it a bad launch title for the PS4? Yes of course, but I feel like that can distract people from looking at the game in its own light sometimes. When I first picked this game up I expected nothing, but as I played it more it made me feel nostalgic somehow, like a return to games like this from my childhood that I adored. I loved it! Even the visuals look good today. Is it basic & repetitive? Duh, but I feel like that’s part of Knack’s charm. There’s a place for games like this! Not launch titles for a new generation obviously, but if it came out separately from the PS4 release I have no doubts this game would not have the reputation it has. The checkpoint system is pretty crappy though. Still a fun ride almost the whole way through!… Expand

   I didn't love this game, I also didn't hate it. I feel that during this launch period and with not many games to go on, it's not a bad gameI didn't love this game, I also didn't hate it. I feel that during this launch period and with not many games to go on, it's not a bad game and can recommend picking it up.
   
   GOOD:
   - The gameplay itself is one that is fairly limited but satisfying.
   - Graphics are nice to watch, features some very good textures and Knack himself looks good.
   
   Bad:
   - Character development, there is none.
   - Storyline, it's very generic and boring. Most of the time I sided with the bad guys, which is not what have developers were going for.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First thing's first: disregard ALL the people comparing this game to the likes of Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and the like. This is NOT like those in ANY way, besides the cartoony visuals, which, admittedly, look good. I'll start by saying this: this game is best for kids and video game newcomers. Whereas the aforementioned games allowed for several fun styles of gameplay, Knack relies on but one, which it hammers into the ground. Not only is it painfully linear, but the combat is rediculously repetitive, never deviating from the same triple strike combo, Sonic the Hedgehog-like homing attack knock back move, and iffy dodge maneuver, and if you're only interested in looking at pretty scenery while smashing stuff, I've not said anything to turn you off. The issue is that this overly simplistic style of gameplay doesn't jibe with the game's intentions concerning the story. Put simply, the story tries. If that sounds too broad and unspecific, I'll elaborate. What does Knack try to do or be? The answer is, a lot. One minute, the plot is centered around the ongoing feud between the humans and goblins, with titular character Knack flung in the middle as a weapon of the former against the latter. Deeper investigation shows the power struggle dates back to a war that socially and technologically sent the goblins back to the proverbial stone age. Done right, this story could have delved deeper into these developments to tell a compelling tale that blurred the lines between right and wrong. But as soon as that begins to flesh out, the plot switches up, focusing instead on the wealthy and politically powerful main antagonist bent on using Knack as a key to a mysterious door, then using the main characters to unknowingly lead him to it when that proves as fruitless, for the purpose of revolutionizing the world with the technology he will find behind said door. Until about 75% into the story, the protagonists and the antagonists are generally hostile and work against each other for no apparent reason, because again, the story isn't written very well. Through all this, there are mini conflicts, such as Knack being little more than a tool, making few decisions on his own (yet trying to have some personality as a character), the Doctor(who apparently has no name)'s assistant struggling to be listened to, and the Doctor's thought a to a be a late beloved working for the enemy. None of the plot elements, large or small, are ever explored well, and very few go well with a gameplay style that is purely centered around running forward, gradually getting bigger, and smashing things. On top of that, the dialogue is quite bland. In short, this game tries to be simple and deep at the same time, overdoing one, and failing miserably at the other. Still, there's nothing mechanically wrong with the game, and Knack's gradual increase in size from a runt to a titan is satisfying. So if you can look past the tons of wasted potential this game had, by all means, pick it up.… Expand
