The core concepts are strong – it’s fun to watch Knack grow bigger and smash things. Knack has too little going on over its 12 hour length.

They felt the game’s single-player campaign was nothing special, plus the payoff moments weren’t much of a payoff in the first place: Polygon wasn’t too high on Knack, either.

Problem is, those times are interspersed between design flaws that feel two generations old, making for an uneven, unmemorable experience. And there are moments where the gameplay lives up to expectations, feeling like a modern game with flashes of old-school nostalgia. In-engine cutscenes show off the detailed world and fantastic lighting, with wonderful shadows and imaginative characters. There are certain times, when the camera is pulled in tight, that Knack looks like the next-gen showpiece you want it to be.

They were displeased with the game’s design flaws that make the game not worth remembering or returning to: They were quite fine with the game’s nostalgic play-style and beautiful graphics.

GamesRadar felt the game was an entirely mediocre experience.

And without that special something, Knack crumbles just like its piecemeal protagonist. There’s not one element of Knack to rally around, to excite you. The occasional platforming scenario lacks the joy of movement so necessary for jumping to be engaging, and the platform placement doesn’t require any cleverness to surpass. And even Knack’s few attempts at diversity are merely competent. Any early thoughts you may have that there must be more to the punch-punch-repeat action than meets the eye are banished once you plow through hours of the same basic sequences. Knack’s downfall is that it focuses entirely on combat, but doesn’t offer enough variety or depth within its system to compel you onward. GameSpot gave the game a low score and lamented the fact that Knack’s basic gameplay, unmemorable in-game fights and lack of diversity hurt the final product: Read Tom's in-depth review at ! /reviews/knack-review/1900-6415530/ Follow Knack on ! /knack/ Official Site – us./ps4/games/knack-ps4.html Visit all of our channels: Features & Reviews – /user/gamespot Gameplay & Guides – /user/gamespotgameplay… T14:30:01.000Z Knack – Review (PS4) Despite some visual flair and a fair bit of visceral beat-em-up action, Knack for the Playstation 4 ultimately falls short of release title expectations.
