After Killzone, time for the other retail PS4 exclusive title for the console launch: Knack. 4 videos inside, showing the beginning of what should be quite a hard game.
After completing Knack i should admit that it is one of those games you can't remember anything about in a month. You start playing with a plain face and nothing ever changes. Fine tuned to be normal, 'by the (game design) books'. Feels more like Cerny's thesis. A representation of what video games are for general public.
Yea it's a 6.5, MAYBE a 7. It's got mostly solid mechanics and a fun look. I like it simply because it reminds of the ratchets and jaks that we hardly ever see anymore. It also surprised me in that it's quick to not hold back in its difficulty. I really only wish all the particles and enemy bodies would hang around instead of immediately disappearing. Something tells me this game was developed BEFORE they bumped the PS4's ram up to 8GB.
This game was a blast to play with 2 player co-op on hard. Good enemy variety/patterns, responsive controls, decent combat (love the air dash/dodge) and great difficulty.
But yeah, definitely not a game that would be nearly as fun playing by yourself.

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Days ago)
