Knack isn't a bad combat platformer, it's just mediocre. It's a kind of God of War for casual players and the fighting works actually quite well. Some boring factory levels should have been cut, though. [Jan 2014]

I have absolutely no idea what caused Knack to be the kind of game that is, because it just doesn't make any sense. Whether it's the case of being a a vanity project that went unchecked or just another could-have-been that lost its way while rushing to meet the PS4's launch date, the bottom line is that it's a misguided title too simple for adults and too difficult for children.

An awfully boring, repetitive and uninspired game that does absolutely nothing to show PS4’s capabilities but a lot to ruin your day. [01/2014, p.66]

Apenas se você estiver com saudades de jogos de plataforma clássicos, Knack não é um jogo "ruim", mas é medíocre. Ele entrega uma experiência de 2013 que já nasceu datada em termos de design.

Problems aside, I still had a lot of fun playing the game. If you love Ratchet & Clank or the early Jak & Daxter games you will feel right at home here.

Knack’s not perfect, and shouldn’t be your first priority when picking up a PS4, but if you miss the old days, or want to share a bit of them with your kids, it may very well be worth your while.

La gente que dice que la historia es sosa y tal no se que esperaban, NO ES UN DEAD RED REDEMPTION, no le busques eso, lo divertido está en ver como de grande puede ser el personaje y divertirse con un bicho de 1000 metros destruyendo los enemigos, este juego lo jugué cuando era un niño así que tampoco puedo decir mucho.

Knack has some fundamental problems, but it can be entertaining. Moments of inspiration and strong design are held back by the game’s many annoyances, though. Proof that charm isn’t always enough.

Generic level design, a world without magic, technically weak: This is an exclusive disappointment for the new system.

Knack is boring, frustrating and visually shallow: one of the worst launch titles in PlayStation history.

Even if the game’s challenge or the appeal of having a shiny new toy tempt you to acquire this game though, you are better off leaving it alone.

Knack had some interesting ideas, but they don't always come together in a satisfying way. The combat was a bit simplistic, but I like the idea of using your right thumbstick to dodge. Knack growing in size affecting his power and health bar was another thing I really liked. Some of the boss fights are admittedly annoying, and the graphics are a bit dated, even for 2013 standards, but if you can overlook some of these faults, Knack is a perfectly decent game. One I'd only recommend on sale, or free with PS Plus.

A game that gets a bit of hate as it was kind of a dud when it released. However, I played this when it came to PlayStation+ awhile back and its actually quite a fun little game. Its not a must play or anything like that, buts its more then a mediocre action game. It has a lot of fun gameplay mechanics that might not be unique but they work within the context of the game. A solid little action platformer.

Knack shoulda renamed to KLUNK because it’s a big ole dud. Combat & platforming are painful, the story is dull, and the trophies are egregious in their demands from the player. Avoid this game unless you can it on sale, and even then think twice..

Mi chiedo ancora perché ho completato questa imitazione di un qualsiasi action-platform game con un character mediocre e una personalità morente e infantile, e ciò nonostante il gioco è complicato e si muore con due colpi, boh
