    Knowledge is Power is more than just another trivia game, it's a battle of wits and reflexes. The goofy characters and the ridiculous hazards will cause everyone to burst out laughing. Once you start a game, it might not be long before you realize you've played another five.

    Even with these minor niggles, this is the game that proves Sony's smartphone service can actually deliver on its potential. [Jan 2018, p.81]

    Knowledge is Power is the best implementation of Playlink so far. The quiz is silly and fun, making it an ideal candidate for family game night.

    Imagine Buzz, but more colorful, with more ways to play and controlled with a phone. We’ve had a great time playing with friends, and if you enjoy this type of quiz show-like game, it’s worth your money.

    As gameplay goes, Knowledge is Power is, for the most part, fun. I think the game moves just a little slow in between rounds, as I found myself trying to skip dialogue and get us into the next question quickly, but the animation and the way you can really screw with opponents is clever, as are the variety of questions given. The price tag isn’t bad either, as the game comes in at $19.99, certainly a price worth paying for some good trivia. I would play this game at home with the kids/wife, and I intend to do so during the holiday break, so it does have some longevity to it. All in all, though, and at least in my opinion, this game does a good job of bringing back memories of 3DO’s Twisted, which I consider the best trivia game to date. I know people want to crown You Don’t Know Jack, but Twisted for me.

    Knowledge is Power is a quirky, fun, bite-sized, quiz game show that utilizes nifty mechanics keeping the categories, questions, and competition entertaining. It’s visually pleasing with its charming cast of characters that surely a group of two to six people will enjoy.

    It may be fun to play once or twice at the odd party or two, but beyond that, you’re better off grabbing the first Jackbox Party Pack and playing You Don’t Know Jack.

    Questions are good from an interesting selection of categories; each game has few slightly differet rounds of play to make things interesting,Questions are good from an interesting selection of categories; each game has few slightly differet rounds of play to make things interesting, so this could have been a really cool trivia game. Sadly, the game moves at glacier speed thanks to loads of annoying animations that you cannot turn off or speed up in any way. The worst of all are animations of so called "power plays" that are supposed to mess up a bit the way your opponent answers their questions. Given that each player has to select a power play before each question round you end up watching the same set of few animations over and over in a single game. For example, a two player game takes 20+ minutes, but the time spent on interacting with the game is 5 tops. The rest is waiting for all the animated nonsense to play out. If you don't mind this hardly entertaining, unnecessary content you might enjoy the game, but for me and my wife this killed all the pleasure.… Full Review »
