Trying something new is always a dangerous thing, and in the game world it is a great risk to present a brand new IP that no one has ever heard of. Knack, developed by SCE Japan Studio, was the PS4 launch title, a tough task to promote a new console and become a new IP in 2013. This game looked and played like a PS3 or PS2 platform player. It was Knack himself who needed the PS4 hardware.
Knack 2 Review
It consisted of hundreds of small artifacts that moved the body while moving. Such a game was not well received with low ratings and was greatly forgotten after lunch. When I first heard the game, I was not too keen on the game. After 5 years PS4 Plus members can download Knack for free. During those five years, the PS4 became a well-established console that dominated the game market. This means that Knack no longer needs to promote the console and can now stand by itself.
In that respect, it is not as bad as the critics should do. It is a classic platformer with linear advances and some modern twists. The first time I started this game opened my eyes and after playing it twice now, I have to say that it has become one of my new favorites. But it is a flaw to complain, especially when it comes to combat. He also does not have shields or shields that can absorb hit and avoidance abilities.
Knack ii Story
The story is very straightforward with a predictable plot twist, and characters can make too general a claim. Still, battle is the biggest mistake. But for me, fighting is not a contract offender. Because if you keep it, you will find certain pleasure when you pass the whole level without one attack. Some gadgets reward you for not hurting your enemy to increase the power of Knack. I also like colorful levels and ridiculous enemies. The gray war that is seen in all the games that take place these days is breathing in the endless sea of ripped wilderness.
This platform revives memories of classic classics like Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Dexter, Zeida legends, and Oscar Mario. In fact, the more you play, the more you appreciate the innocent charm of the game. The sophisticated fines in the back of the tank, the ridiculously surprisingly lethal enemy weapon, the tiny goblin courageous courage to attack you, despite the height of 20 feet. Discovering more hidden chests and opening more gadgets makes battle easier, but still challenging.
You can grow to a generous size from skilled artifacts. It has become a city that smashes the Savior towards the end. The game also offers a different mode after the story is assaulted. New game +, Time trial, Coliseum or battlefield. Stadiums are places where you can improve your combat ability by defeating enemy waves with a limited number of remains to supplement. The second player can join you with this wave to help you.
Along with the gadgets you can unlock, the chest can also contain lens artifacts that increase or decrease the attributes of Knack, for example Vampire Knack. Iincreasing the power of Knack. They add far more challenges or fun to gameplay, especially when Knack is huge. His giant being a huge giant is a huge treat for all that loves myself as much as I like. I like to be able to control big things. It is embarrassing to zoom in too far from the action when the camera strikes a big city.
Anyway, if you want to do something else on weekends or on weekdays, you might want to enjoy the game. With 8 to 10 hours of game play and the time it takes to collect everything and unlock the ultimate Knack, it's worth spending more time actually controlling each level.
More about Knack
Knack II was the first improvement. It came out in the fall of 2017, and there has been a tremendous improvement in combat. You can now block the attack and redirect the fired projectile. He can perform a kick attack and take the mouse for a short time. He can also change the size of a small knack to get into a tight space. But the biggest improvement is his ability to regenerate. At first I think it will be a big help, especially in the first few chapters, but as the level gets more and more happier, I have this overall experience. (More later).
Killing another game is to get rid of super-motors, shockwaves, cyclones and missile launchers that can take you to your enemies. In the first game, Knack was able to use competent super action when he got enough solar energy. But in the sequel, this movement has been replaced by a randomly generated super-crystal that lasts for a very limited time.
You can turn off other actions to better utilize the power of the crystal, but you can only summon a game when you need it. His combat ability also broke the RPG style, where his power, speed, power, and everything were all staggered and new energy items had to be unlocked. The game lasts longer because everything is too complicated and powerful.

The story introduces a new type of enemy of an ancient robotic army built by a mysterious noble goblin society to eliminate humanity. This robot wants blind tactics that Knack can better manage combat if he can use Super Action from the first, but instead rely on these supercons if he can summon the game instead. For many hours this supercrystal appears only at the beginning of the flock and lasts for about 5 seconds so that more enemies will continue to fight around you.
The last few chapters specifically highlight the issue that is currently being created, especially with this "improvement" to combat. Thus, combat is very repetitive with button engagement. These two "improvements" ruin the charm of the first game, which was important to look plan attacks in each battle.
The story of Knack 2 is too complex and goes too long. I miss linear progress, leaving questions that are much easier to follow and fewer answers. There is love that missed the dynamic look between Lucas and Doctor and saw more of Dr. Charlotte's long lost love. Ava uses monk magic to turn off Knack's special abilities.
Zander somehow made a copy of Knack, but no one can bother to explain how or why. Ancient robots are an inescapable force in the first game, but Victor has a robotic army that he can not stop himself. There are many stories in this story, and if you play more than once, it will feel like torture.
The sequel will be a chance for the game to come in on its own, and there are some positive aspects to suggest that it can be a game. Level design and platforming are suburban areas with beautiful landscapes and unique puzzles, sometimes requiring quick thinking and good hand gestures. There are several good music tracks on several levels, and overall graphics look sharper and clearer than the first one.
Knack himself looks simpler but still retains a unique look. One additional feature I like is to find the height meter in the top left corner of the screen. Now you can see how big Knack is and how big it is, which can be the biggest in this second installment. He is about 35 feet tall but not 200 feet tall so he can go till the first game.
Features of Knack 2
It looks as if developers have forgotten their first game and started all over. There are levels at which you visit the museum and pass through a series of exhibits, including the first game vehicle, enemies, gadgets, and more. But the most memorable thing going through this level was the second and the first rather rather the most. It was just a lot more fun and much more memorable.
In that note Knack 2 does not give a special gift or reward for the first game. If it was me, I would have been a great gift combo meter or a crystal form of Knack. An older game is a small nugget that gives back to make the player feel more special about continuing the series. Knack feels like a colorful old game, challenging but addictive gameplay, ludicrous characters, and more powerful than he knows.
However, in Knack 2, there is a collaborative story mode that allows two players to play at the team level, so there is one more sequel to actually solve all of the issues mentioned above, with the exception of the story. I can not say whether this will improve the overall gameplay overall, but once you've played the game yourself, you can say that a second person can help you better manage your battle.
Nevertheless, there is an option to do cooperations that can be the key to playing games with friends over the weekend. Having a co-operative still does not fix the hole in the story, nor does it excuse the unique problem of oversimplifying the battle. The sequel is supposed to be an improvement on the first while adding more to the series.
But it is not a case of forgetting where the sequel comes from, but rather a collection of random thoughts and ideas that are lost in direction and confuse the audience more than they are satisfied. But there is a third hope. Because despite the second sighting, I still want to know more about Knack and the world he lives in.
Ancient existence that made his society centered on relics with a body is a good start. It will help you focus. I would also like to see that the High Goblins are a legacy behind them and are worth looking again. As long as developers are willing to explore, there is a potential.
