    The newly added depth to not only your offensive attacks, but also your defensive options allows battles to feel fresh and rewarding.

    In the absence of an epic tale, a torrent of doodads to collect, or some time-devouring crafting system — all the fixtures big business gaming says you need to survive today — Knack 2 just works.

    Knack II completely eclipses its predecessor with a revamped combat system, gorgeous visuals, and a new focus on platforming and puzzles.

    The pacing is spot-on, the combat satisfying and the gameplay varied. Co-op is genuinely good fun too, and most definitely the best way for younger gamers to get into the action. Knack 2 is definitely a step up from the original, then, but until the writing and characterisation improve drastically, it’s not going to be a true first party titan.

    Knack 2 is a game that improves what we saw in its first installment and brings a fun and great experience for all sectors of the public. It aims for diversity and achieves it.

    Besides some new features, Knack 2 fails to avoid some flaws like the soporific storyline and a sub-par technical aspect. On the other hand, the gameplay is still good and some places offer a decent challenge to the player.

    Of course, Knack 2 adds a few things compared to the first one. But it really lacks fun, visuals that feel PS4, and even humor to touch its target.

    A great platformer beat 'em up game, I wish there were more like this one!
    Excellent action, great story, decent length...and of course,    A great platformer beat 'em up game, I wish there were more like this one!
    Excellent action, great story, decent length...and of course, Knack is nothing short of awesome character, especially when huge :) Even ending credits are cool!
    I immediately started on hard difficulty - do it if you're looking for challenge.

    Definite recommendation, I hope there will be Knack 3!    … Expand

    Resume: I liked first part, but second is crap. Not to mention much lagging that I had, the character feels uncontrolable, so many dullResume: I liked first part, but second is crap. Not to mention much lagging that I had, the character feels uncontrolable, so many dull platforming. Thing that got me was a BIG Glitch on 2-4 chapter, the cutscene doesnt start, the next location is dead, I just cant progress. Tried a lot of tricks, none worked. This game is dead for me too, and no moneyback! But Sony must payback one day for all the shet they do with serious faces. Hell of an exclusive game.… Expand
