Mark Cerny. Architect not only of beloved IPs such as Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, and Spyro the Dragon, but also of the PlayStation 4 itself. This smiling genteel man has been one of the most visible exponents of innovative design over the years, no more so than in the past twelve months as Sony...

Sony has been saying for a while that it wants PlayStation 4 to take us back in time to a more innocent kind of gaming, but I didn't realise they meant it so literally until I played Knack, an old-fashioned platform brawler where you run around double-jumping and mashing buttons to punch goblins and...

Graphic is good. too simple moves, very much disappointed that there was no vibration on the controller, don't know why, should have been programmed to the game?

Bought this game on launch date. Very disappointed. Has no improvements to the ps3 in means of gaming so far..

I was expecting a lot from this game but all I got was a mediocre game, a flawed story and repetitive gameplay. Positive were the animation and graphic style.

Knack signifies two experiments in one: Knack himself as a technological marvel and construct comprised of ancient relics held together by an energy core, and Knack the game as an attempt to combine old-school difficulty and linear game design with new-school graphics and a checkpoint system.

Strong concept for protagonist; Beautiful environments and cel-shaded graphics; Old-school difficulty

Boilerplate characters; Beautiful environments and cel-shaded graphics; Repetitive level design; Extremely padded; Poor character progression; Tags

Knack is not only a miserably boring action game, but it features one of the worst heroes ever made. Knack is easy to kill, stupid looking and part of an adventure that will never end. This PlayStation 4 game is too difficult for kids and too generic for adults.

A poor quality video game by any measure, but what this joyless throwback is doing being a key launch title for the PlayStation 4 Sony only knows.

There's a good amount of variety in the pleasingly colourful environments; The basic idea of absorbing relics has some promise

The gameplay is extremely simplistic, extremely repetitive, and extremely difficult – the latter for no obvious reason at all; Unimpressive graphics, made worse by slowdown

Best for offline 2 players(Multiplayer)

Un gentil jeu de plates-formes qui distille des éléments intéressants çà et là mais qui pêche trop par certains aspects pour être incontournable. Jeu PS4 oblige, on s'attendait à en prendre plein les mirettes. Ceci est d'autant plus vrai que le nom de Mark Cerny se profile derrière Knack.

Nouvelle licence; Quelques très beaux niveaux; Des personnages attachants; Aspect film d'animation

Répétitif; Inégal; Quelques ralentissements; Manque de charisme des personnages; Pas de réelle claque visuelle
