The 2nd one is much better. Is has i guess adaptive ai so you or your kids can pick up and play and still have challenge. It just lacked polish and personality. Knack is dry his companions are cookie cutter and annoying. But under all that theres clever puzzle and fighting mechanics and drop in and out co op is definetly a nice feature.
But with ratchet being a launch window no reason to even try with another knack at least now
I think Sony released Knack on PS4 because they wanted a kid/family friendly game at launch. Knack and Knack II were both fun, and me and my kid enjoyed them immensely. PS5 is launching with Sackboy, so that kid friendly game box has already been checked.
I really liked this game for being really dumb and simple. (I'm really old) but I never had much faith that it would work, imagine my surprise to find out that Knack 2 exists.
Because its not in development
I don't think the first two games sold very well. I kinda doubt they'll make a 3rd.
What place does Knack have in a world where Crash Bandicoot is a relevant franchise again
My kid is currently enjoying the first game.
Fun game but I think the target audience and marketing was off, for both games.
The first one was decent but wasn't a system seller that early PS4 adopters were looking for.
Maybe if was released later when there was a bit of a drought it would have received more attention.
Because nobody bought the other games?
