Knack 2 adds some much-needed variety to the series' structure.
Beyond the memes, Knack is just a solid platformer that deserves a new home on the PlayStation 5.
I'd rather they make a new platformer IP. With Sackboy and Astro's Playroom PS5 looks very good for the platformer genre so far
I think it would be great if they rebooted it, keep the visual style, but change the tone of the story and voices to match. This game looks like it should have a semi mute protagonist with a silly professor and his rebellious apprentice. Instead knack sounds like a brainwashed soldier, the professor like an angry divorced dad, and the kid is such an average joe. And the story takes itself way too seriously, it's so clashing with it's art style
It's time for Ape Escape PS5, Dual Sense Enhanced.
Give me that first. Then whatever.
It's really not.
The first really didn't deserve a sequel, and the sequel, itself, was nothing special.
"Recently I got into a trophy hunting kick, after picking up Knack II for a low price on PSN. This caused me to go ahead and try to finish up my trophy list for the original Knack."
If Knack had an animal hero-mascot would literally have far better sales and appeal ....it is very good mechanichally and visually almost on par with mario
There were two major problems with knack that kept it from taking off.
1) The tone did not match the style. Seriously if you showed me some promo image and asked me to guess i'd say he's some semi mute protagonist like crash, with a quirky scientist creator and his edgy funny son that treats knack more like a bro than an experiment. Off to fight some evil goofy goblins in some harrowing levels. Instead knack has the personality of a mindless soldier and everyone just orders him around and he's just all "affirmative" and the conflict with the goblins seems ripped straight from a boring military drama.
2) The levels lacked hazards, nearly every fall was just a small drop loop around and try again. Didn't really incentivize playing well, and made it boring.
The sequel fixed issue 2 in a really cool way, but issue 1 was still there and the damage from the first game was already done.
Personally, I enjoyed Resogun much more than Knack
And PS3 launched with Resistance. Much better than Knack.
Players can get Knack 2 for free and here's a step by step guide on how. You don't need an active PlayStation Plus membership either.
Yeah I’m not going through all of that lol. If I did it would be a Japanese account so I could get all of their themes and stuff.
I created a German Account yesterday and I got it for free. It too me like 5 minutes to make
It was truly unexpected. Hopefully this means other games like The Order 1886 gets another chance and improve on what the first game built.
ALL ANYONE SAYS ABOUT KNACK is negative. It was universally criticized and stands at a 54 meta. I'm tempted to pick this game up just to see if the reviews are undeserving or PS fans really will make excuses for every exclusive. I didn't hear anyone asking for KNACK 2. The ORDER AND DRIVECLUB deserve sequel attention
Why in Hell everyone talking about Order 1886 in Knack 2 article ???
I've played Knack 1 it was Entertaining,fun,curious . Brought back ol skool memories Snes games.
Knack 2 co-op, this Wil be interesting to play with a buddy.
I was to busy staring at the order beautiful graphics to care about the linear game play and length of the game. Still one of the best looking games available.
i bought the first knack for 10$
would have been a lot happier with the 10$
