    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.

    Have been waiting weeks for a patch for a game breaking bug..
    It would be very easy to fix and yet here I am waiting..
    Would have given an 9 for my experience of the 6 hours so far but still no fix and no way to talk to the developers I feel frustrated.

    Fun little game by Japan Studio with a low budget. Doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
    Family friendly God of War is the best description, with a story that feels like the Uncharted series.
    I really hope they continue to flesh this series out in the future.

Knack 2 improves on everything in the original games and fixes most of its flaws.

    1) The original Knack had constant "micro-cutscenes" where control was taken away from the player for even small things as jumping down a ledge. This is now a thing of the past for the most part except when sliding down zip-lines etc. which makes sense.

    2) The difficulty was a mess in the original. Even on normal, 1 or 2 hits from an enemy would kill you meaning you had to progress throug large amounts of enemies without taking a single hit. The game was designed for kids, but balanced for hard-core gamers. It was extremely unforgiving. In Knack 2 I've been playing on Hard which feels is much more forgiving and fair.

    3) The combat in the original was pretty dull. One normal attack and 3 special ones which could only be used once in a while. Knack 2 has one punch and one kick attack as a base and then special moves, unlocked by abilities, which can be used in every combat encounter. This makes the combat more varied.

    4) In the original knack, the only way to avoid projectiles was to jump or dodge. In Knack 2, projectiles can be blocked and even bounced back for damage if you time it right. This makes combat much more fluid when fighting ranged enemies.

    5) I liked the art style of the original but some areas felt a bit more unpolished than others. I feel like they've improved on the graphics in the sequel.

    6) In the original, you could never really choose if you wanted to be small or big. The game made the choice for you in various sections of the levels. In Knack 2 you can swap between small and big at any point which is also used extensively in puzzle solving.

    Overall, Knack 2 is a much improved game compared to the original. Even if you didn't like the original theres a big chance you will like Knack 2. I would say that the original is a 7 out of 10, while Knack 2 is a 9 out of 10. So why not 10 out of 10? I think it's a bit too linear, just like the first game. More branching paths and exploration like in games such as Ratchet and Clank etc would have been nice.    … Expand

    Return of the Knack
    Knack 2 is of course the sequel to the PS4 launch title Knack where you can play single player of local co-op, however knack 2, at least for the first half feels like an entirely different game in a good way the first half of this 12 hour game is great… I was one of the few people that actually enjoyed the first knack... and I wasn’t expecting the    Knack 2
    Return of the Knack
    Knack 2 is of course the sequel to the PS4 launch title Knack where you can play single player of local co-op, however knack 2, at least for the first half feels like an entirely different game in a good way
    the first half of this 12 hour game is great… I was one of the few people that actually enjoyed the first knack... and I wasn’t expecting the improvements to be as great as they were...
    As this game focuses a lot more on 3d platforming elements than the linear clear the room gameplay that was the original knack…
    platforming was fun, and exploring these levels actually felt worthwhile...
    I was getting jak and Daxter vibes…
    And of course these levels had some combat sprinkled into them…
    and the combat this time around is much more varied and fun to play with… you can punch, kick, block and parry at first but knack 2 adds in a new leveling system, there’s relic energy found in boxes hidden in all kinds of easy to miss nooks and crannies, there is no obvious wall to punch through like the first knack… and this energy gives you a skill point to dump into knacks skill tree.. Each section being unlocked once you’ve unlocked every basic move of the previous sections... so it isn’t as much of a skill tree until you get towards the end and really have to start picking and choosing…
    All of this made looking for these chests and fighting enemies worthwhile...
    I got excited when I got into fights rather than feel like this game was a chore like the first knack…
    It was fun going through the game, unlocking new moves to really mix up the combat and level progression, making puzzles more interesting this time, and making everything I’ve learned even more powerful.. And there’s a new game plus where you keep everything and continue making your knack even more powerful... there are also gadget parts like the original that give you abilities like a combo meter, seeing health bars for enemies, or a teleportation pad for if you fall while platforming..
    And like the past game your knacks as you collect more knack gets larger and it doesn’t feel like a lie this time…
    you don’t feel like the game is forcing you to stay a certain size... because levels simply don’t give you more knack pieces than you need.. And you can’t really lose them unless they’re tied to the various elemental knacks that also add new puzzle elements to the game and all feel different in combot...
    and something I found great is that the game focus on the fact you can become larger or smaller any time you wish…
    again making this journey feel varied as you’re switching through the different sizes to complete different sections of the level…
    however this where the great ends
    The 2nd half of the game really feels like knack 1 without an interesting story.. The story here feels very throwaway and forgettable... you’re taking down goblins and robots to save the world... the game stops feeling creative and just turns into a linear beat em up, baby’s first god of war game…
    The combat is fun in short bursts... but it just starts piling it on and the platforming and level design starts feeling so uninspired.. it’s still good… but nowhere near as great as this games first half is…
    Like the development team was running out of steam
    This is also where we start getting boss fights that are worse than the first games fights, and end in a a quick time event that feels like every other quick time event in this game
    Knack 2 does sequel bait…
    I’m just hoping in knack 3 we get more of the 3d platforming with combat sprinkled in that is the first half of knack 2 and less of the combat focused game with generic platforming sprinkled in that was the 2nd half of this game…
    Knack 2 starts in the right direction but ends where it started.
    I give knack 2

    A story that is not very innovative and very similar to the previous one.

    The good:
    The particle game is back and now brings multiplayer

    The bad:
    The novelty of the particles is soon over. The servers were emptied in the first week, causing no people to join you in your games, making the multiplayer novelty just a drag and not a highlight

    Meh !:
    The sequel that nobody asked for from a game that very few people liked. The multiplayer died fast.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Knack returns after his so-so first game from the PS4s launch days. So how does this second go around fair?
    Well-
    Story-
    The story and characters are definetly better this time around but still are nothing to write home about, its all interesting enough to pull you through and you do get the occasional funny or dramatic moment so its serviceable.
    Graphics-
    Aside from a few...questionable choices in art direction the game looks much better. The first game didnt look bad but was certainly underwhelming for a next gen title even by the standards of the cartoony graphics. Now everything is more detailed and is just far more eye catching than before. They definetly did a much better job in the eye candy department this time around.
    Sound-
    Like the last game this game has a soundtrack that does the job but isnt super memorable and definetly doesnt have any tunes thatll get stuck in your head. The sound effects all do pack a punch though and are super satisfying
    Gameplay-
    This is where the improvements from the last game shine through the most. The combat is VASTLY improved with more abilities during combat like a hookshot and heavy punch for example, a more complex combo system, an improved dodge,ext. The difficulty has also been toned down enough to still be challenging but not stupid hard and frustrating. The game also takes more advantage of Knacks ability to change size especially during the much improved platforming bits. That being said there are still a decent amount of cheap deaths and enemies who annoyingly spam the same move over and over like your jerk friend in a fighting game. There is a major complaint I have that ties into the story as well. The game starts out during a future battle before sending you back to the past where you then work up to those events, while cliche thats not the problem my issue is they felt it neccesary to instead of putting you back where you left off they make you reply the entire opening segment again in a desperate attempt at padding this was beyond annoying and a baffling choice this also is littered with continuity issues because you and the enemies both have powers you didnt have before instead of starting you off with the powers and then taking them away which while annoying wouldve made more sense. I get wanting to save the reveal of these powers for later but in that csse dont start us out in the future.
    There is one last issue, I nearly came across a game breaking bug late in the game that forced couldve forced me to start over completely, a cutscene didnt load and I didnt get a power I need, luckily this was solved by a console reset but that still hurts the games score.
    Verdict-
    Overall Knack 2 is a good game that has some noticeable flaws. While not amazing it is still a vast improvement over Knack 1, fixing most of the issues I had with it. I definetly look forward to seeing if the series can finally reach its full potential with Knack 3, assuming it gets made, because I genuinely feel this franchise deserves it.    … Expand

    The game is broken, I've played up to level 2-4 but can't go on because the cutscene won't load. The only way to solve it is to delete the save file and create a new one. Really??

    Me parece genial que Sony no haya matado una franquicia como esta que no le fue precisamente bien, pero que se diferencia bastante de lo que comúnmente se encuentra en la ps4, si bien esta entrega mejora varias cosas de la entrega pasada, no termina por llegar a un punto que destaque, ademas de seguir cometiendo ciertos errores de su entrega pasada.

    If you liked the first one, you will like this second too. The same style/fun from the fist one with more moves, upgrades and a loooooooooong campaing :)

    Believe it or not, but Knack 2 is actually a proper action games with tons of combat depth and mechanics at play. If people can get past the weird memes and trolling and actually play the damn game they might see that. On Very Hard you get demolished if you don't know what you're doing.

    This game is a masterpeece. There is family fun, ice knack, co op and that's epic. It's clear that this gets a 10/10 because come, it's Knack we are talking about. I hope we get a Knack 2 remake because this game is a masterpeece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Knack 2 is exciting, fun and i really like it. The game has a lot of mechanics, the models and textures are fine, co-op is extremely entertaining and the hints are much more helpful than something like Uncharted 4. However, writing could really use some work since characters cut someone off while they are speaking to finish their sentences and it just gets old.… Expand

    It's a pretty fun game, but not if your alone. If you have a little brother or sister who wants to play a game with you, than get this one. It has good mechanics, reminds me of skylanders. Story is good and not to hard. But overall, if you have 20 dollars, then you should get horizon or bloodborne. Still fun though

    First Knack was good but this Knack is even better. Plays similarly to other knack. Story is better, boss battles are pretty fun. Gameplay is still relatively simple for kids to grasp easily and learn. Overall a great game.

    Decent mascot platformer for a younger audience. Solid gameplay, colorful graphics… if only the story side of things were up to par, then I could also recommend it to older players too.

    This game is a great improvement on the first, and if they ever make a knack 3, with the same upgrade of quality, I could see knack be the new platforming mascot.
    Also KNACK IS BACK BABYYYY HERE COMES THE MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY

    Knack 2 is a one of a kind once in a generation piece of art that DEFINES a generation of consoles. KNACK 2 is THAT game, with the power of the playstation 4 it utilizes the 12 octoflops in the processor to render knack 2's beautiful rocks with pristine and unmatched detail compared to any game EVER MADE. The playstation 5 can barely even run this game at 480 25 fps because its THAT GOOD.Knack 2 is a one of a kind once in a generation piece of art that DEFINES a generation of consoles.

The playstation 5 can barely even run this game at 480 25 fps because its THAT GOOD. People will live and die and yet this game remains in history as the greatest knack in history. The reason Shigeru Miyamoto doesnt want to add his games to the Personal Computer is because of Knack. Becauses of the playstation super computer no other console or system can run this masterpiece, or should i say MASTAPEECE, because this game creates wars and at the same time peace. No other videogame can do that. Even the Super Houser Brothers cant make a better grand theft auto than knack 2 because they are too scared of the sheer power of knack. This is the reason why many left Rockstar Games including but not limited to Dan Houser and Ham Houser. Sam Houser the only Houser brother left in the company is still trying to make his STUPID games like Playstation dogs for the NES. Even with their 2 billion dollar budget for the next Steelie Wheelie Game they cannot even come close to the experience you get with Knack 2. 100000000/10 its a mastapeece babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy… Expand

    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.
