As I mentioned earlier I don't think Knack is a bad game, it's just not really a game that shows off the PS4 to its full capabilities. Granted it is also repetitive and frustrating at times (because of the rinse and repeat side of things when you die), but then if you are not a hardened gamer and...

The shipment was fine, but this game is not that good, if you're less than 18 years old it can be fun, but still it's hard. The graphics are fine, the game has beautiful colors.

If you haven't heard the name Mark Cerny, you've definitely seen and played the games he has worked on and consulted for with franchises including Crash Bandicoot, God of War and Uncharted all enjoying his contributions and insights.

Wanna know the worst PS4 game out? It's this game.

Perhaps the only thing worse than a new IP that is hyped and turns out to be a dud (we're looking at you, Aliens: Colonial Marines) is one that promises to be fantastic, actually is pretty good, and then gets unjustly panned.

Innovative elements and ideas; Endearing main character; Game mixes and matches up locales and Knack's abilities; Plenty to find and collect

One or two tedious levels; Some repetitive audio scoring; Simplistic attacks leave room for improvement

Not a lot of freedom of choice, very directed experience. Bug and crash free for my kids experience, though, that's always something, especially these days. It gets pretty boring for adults when playing with kids, though.

Great for kids around 6-10

My 12 year old son played it and finished the game in about a day

I'm a beginner player (i'm a 30 yo female :D) and this game is so fun to play. Easy enough for me to not give up but hard enough to make me feel challenged.

Knack is Sony's answer to how the PS4 can appeal to younger children from day one. Chances are that if a parent is purchasing a PS4 for the little one at Christmas, it will most likely be bought with Knack.

A solid game that definitely has an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Knack is a throwback title that awakens memories of PSone-era 3D platformers. Does it update the formula while adequately massaging those nostalgia glands? James Cullinane removes his rose-tinted glasses.

Knack's character model alludes to the system's power

Flat characterisation; Simple, uninspiring combat; Fails to capitalise on the handful of interesting ideas scattered throughout
