Knack

Knack II makes this game look like crap. The graphics get a 10/10 but the storytelling just does not reach the emotional heights of the much better sequel.

Game of the year baby, 10/10, a true knacksterpiece. There is truly nothing better than this game. As soon as you open up Knack on your Sony PlayStation 4, you will immediately notice how they busted out the Ray Graphics for this game. The acting you say? Better than The Godfather 2. The writing? On par with The Last of Us 2. The gameplay puts games like Max Payne 3 or Devil May Cry 5 to SHAME. Knack is capable of everything. Knack is plentiful. This game was so advanced, it came out 10 YEARS before I even PLAYED it. This is truly the greatest Souls-Like of all time. Nay- It is the greatest GAME of all time! Knack 2 is just a little bit better though.

This game felt like a breath of fresh air when it came out. I'd been playing mostly competitive games in the years leading up to it (and would continue to do so) but there wasn't much to choose from for the PS4 launch so I decided to say screw it and give this a shot. It reeked of the PS2 games I used to play and I felt it deserved a shot. I went in moderately hyped and was pleasantly surprised. The gameplay is smooth, the graphics were awesome and even the story surprised me.

I would go on the buy the sequel and enjoy it even more, which builds on this game greatly.

Knack baaaby! Well guys I gotto be honest...I don't like Knack...Knack 2 on the other hand....

I ended up cooping with my friend on his PS5 a few months back and forgot to review. Idk this playformer/beat 'em up game didn't really feel like it was designed to be coop. 2nd player didn't have any quality-of-life mechanics like first player did (2nd players basically doesn't exist). The story of knack, a creature made up of ancient relics, trying to save humanity from a species called goblins didn't strike any fancy with me. The gameplay reminded me of Crash Bandicoot a little bit, had some fun platforming and attacking. It was all around forgettable at the end of the day, but me and my friend had fun so that's all that matters. Recommended for some mild coop adventure.
