    Considering reviewers unfairly shafted the first game why most people liked it it was to be expected reviewers won't live this game...That said as I already stated the first one was already a good and challenging game for the whole family. The sequel improves in all areas so I'd probably give it an 8 for singleplayer and 8.5 for coop gameplay. There aren't many games for all ages likeConsidering reviewers unfairly shafted the first game why most people liked it it was to be expected reviewers won't live this game...That said as I already stated the first one was already a good and challenging game for the whole family.

There aren't many games for all ages like this...if you have kids do yourself a favour and buy this game.

    I'll rate it a 10 here to counter the senseless haters.

    I give Knack 2 my first ever 10/5 its a knacksterpiece, and that's just for the graphics, don't even get me started on the heartfelt and beautiful story and mindblowing gameplay that puts all other beat em up platformers to shame.

    Knack was a flawless brawler but it lacked depth and story, and truely a blend of both gameplay and story. These issue have been addressed and platforming has also been added. With coop added as well the improvements are shining in this game as a game that defines a generation. No microtransactions, no dlc, a complete story. Cheaper than other games on the market on release.

    Glad they didn't leave this franchise alone. Deserves its place on the release calendar. Just as hard as the original. Sad some people have nothing better to do then give negative reviews to games they haven't played.

    Free game is the best game, and thats why Sony created this incredible game experience and gave it for free in multiple countries. Just as some guys in Splatoon 2 said, KNACK 2 THA FUTURE.

    Finally, Knack 2, babyyyyyyy! Super Mario 64? Screw that. The first Knack was evidence that a God does exist, and this is the reward for its faithful followers. How could anyone forget such memorable characters, like.... Boulder Man? Scientist Dude? Some Goblins (I think). Memorable story. The epitome of human innovation

    An improvement from the first in every aspect.
    When is Knack 3 gonna come out?

    I think Nintendo really hit out of the park with this one. I can see this game not only getting GOTY, but also being the greatest game of all time until Knack HD comes out. 10/10

    KNACK IS BACK
    - Buy this game and play it with your sibling/friend/progeny
    - Be a part of a cultural phenomenon that will have people talking for years to come
    - Punch things and jump on platforms
    - Knack has it all, and then some. It's fun for the whole family!!!

    My surprise game of the year! I really enjoyed Knack 2 and besides Super Mario Odyssey, Knack 2 was my favorite platformer of 2017. The game looks great in HDR and controls are tight. A shame it did not sell better because it deserves it. The game is like 15-20 bucks now and it is well worth it.

    So... KNACK 2 IS THE BEST GAME OF 2017! HERE COMES THE MONEY BABY! IT HAS THE BEST GRAPHICS AND RUNS LIKE DREAM. IT IS LIKE THE ORIGINAL BUT BETTER AS IT'S TWICE THE KNACK!

    10/10 Knack is back BABY. HERE COMES THE MONEYYYYY! Game of the generation.

    In all seriousness, this game improves on the original in many ways. Better platforming, better co op, better combat, etc. It's worth a buy if you have someone to play with. If you love platformers it may be worth picking up too. It's only $30-40 depending on where you are from.

    Not great, not terrible. I had fun.

    Game of the Generation. Love it. I don't feel that there are many places this game could improve. I laughed, I cried, I may have peed a little bit (but not enough to warrant new boxers). Best game ever.

    It's a mastapeece for the books. Knack is back!

    Knack 2 does everything what a game should do. The gameplay is world-class, but the graphics... that's really what this is all about.

    Knack is back baby! 10/5 It's a knacksterpiece.
    Here comes the money!
    This game is the best game in the entire world. It's so good. Knack 2 is by far the best game I have played this century. It's a must-play for any gamer. I give knack 2, my first ever, 10/5, and that is for the graphics alone. Don't even get me started on the story line. ;)

    It's a great beat em up/platformer. Something we need more. Less cinematic and more 90s simple and fun games
    Hopefully Sony will move to another project similar to Knack and make another 3D platformer that is about combat and mindless story

    10/10. Just, perfect game of the year winner for the next 10 years until knack 3D comes out, and beats knack 2 AND knack 1. But this game, the graaaaphics, just truely a system seller.

    There may be a disagreement about the first knack. But at least there isn't any reason to call it a NMS effect (pun intended) Knack 2 seems to bring in new varity in the lack the first edition brought us. The visuals seem more alive, and with the local multiplayer Knack 2 gives some of us the old nostalgia we begged for were many other games have dissapointed us.

    The first Knack was a laughing-stock. The sequel kept the main concept but did everything else differently and surprisingly the result is one of the most enjoyable co-op platformers I’ve ever played. [12/2017, p.44]

    Knack 2, one of the least anticipated of Sony’s sequels, is quite spectacular and fun enough to make you forget about its stale, cliche-ridden script.

    Not a lot has changed here, so if you didn’t like the first game, you’ll probably not feel any more warmth to this one. If you did like the original Knack though, then this is more of the same and chances are you’ll enjoy it. Without the pressure of being a launch title, we can see the game for what it really is: a fun platform title that does plenty of things well, if very little that’s particularly ground-breaking.
