Quink666 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Horrible checkpoints, and when you die you dont get whatever sunstone energy you used up back. So if you are at a hard part youre fucked with no way of getting more. No reload level or checkpoint option. 1 shot kill from everything, cant see how very hard will be any harder. When you are huge you still walk as slow as little Knack. dodge distance is non existent The collectibles are by far the worst ive ever seen. Have aquired all 10 aqua marines but i still get them in chest? like wtf were they thinking? No way of trading in gems you have plenty of. Atleast i got it from PS+ so i didnt waste any money on it. Is Knack 2 any better or is it the same messy game? Edited February 15, 2018 by Quink666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RainyDusk Posted February 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2018 There are easily worse games out there. The only real bad part about the game was the bland and uninspired level design, everything else was nice/ok, and Knack is cool. It is a 6.5/10 game for me. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lordzeze Posted February 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Aren't we being a little overdramatic? Sure the game isn't perfect but it is far from being the worst game ever. I thought it was a decent platformer and I had fun playing it. But basing the game on the amount of content it had, it should have been priced at $30/$40 at launch. I think there would have been a lot less complaints.

Popular Post madbuk Posted February 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2018 Is this a troll thread? Knack is great. Very hard is harder because the enemies get faster and require better reflexes to dodge, and really it's more like 2 hits to die on hard. The checkpoints are pretty common and forgiving, and you move a lot further as big Knack than you do as small Knack in the same amount of time. Honestly this thread just sounds like you're whining about difficulty, but that's what made Knack so great. It was a challenge, if you want it to be easy just play on easy, unlock Diamond Knack, and breeze through hard/very hard and have no fun whilst doing so. Every fight was satisfying in Knack and I enjoyed every minute of it apart from diamond farming. Knack II isn't as great, you just mash buttons and win everything even on hard 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT__Jedi Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Fun game, since it was free not really getting upset over it as I just play to kick back, like Sky Force. Now if I was going for 100% I'd probably get frustrated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheArcadeKid Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Not by a long shot. Once you understand enemy attack patterns and behaviours, and the best way to handle each fight (generally, speed and timing is everything), most of the difficulty-related issues disappear. I do know the platinum is supposed to be a nightmare - I never bothered going for it myself - but if you just want to get to the end of the game, it's only a matter of learning how each fight's supposed to play out. Knack is far from the hardest or most poorly-designed game out there, and once you get the knack of it, you're left with a fun, if mostly unmemorable action-platformer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) The OP obviously hasn't played games like Whitetail Challenge or Attacking Zegeta (2) if he calls Knack the worst game ever made. Edited February 15, 2018 by Lucas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fight was satisfying in Knack and I enjoyed every minute of it apart from diamond farming. Knack II isn't as great, you just mash buttons and win everything even on hard If I had to play through on Very Hard without Diamond Knack I think I would have an aneurysm. Knack is not one of those games that feels like a satisfying challenge on the higher difficulties, it just feels incredibly cheap. Enemies frequently cluster together to make picking them off one by one (the safest way of killing most of them) very difficult and attack alternately to very rarely give you a chance to strike. Throw ranged enemies into the mix with no means of attacking them besides a very slow to recharge special move and you do not have a particularly fun experience. In addition to all of this they also seem to anticipate what you're going to do and delay their attacks accordingly or strike where you're going to be, and they are extremely aggressive as well with no grace invincibility either. Could honestly be just me but the AI seemed particularly spiteful, and while the checkpoints aren't TOO infrequent they're not very clearly communicated, so some sections honestly feel like trial and error. There's also that awful section near the middle with the vacuum that I think even the most ardent defenders of the game probably have nightmares about. Knack is not the worst game ever made, in fact far from it, but it's not particularly fun either and it honestly feels like it was made to spite the player. I don't think children will get much enjoyment out of it despite its simplicity. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalChaos72 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I got both platinums on K1 & 2, they're not terribly difficult, but very hard mode can be a pain in the arse. Timing is everything. I don't understand why everyone hates this game, i thoroughly enjoyed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-bake_1986 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Not remotely the worst game ever. Just a quite boring, repetitive, middle-of-the-road game in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knack is the worst game ever because you tried to play on Hard, but don't have the skills to play it that way? Flip it down to Very Easy, since that's what you really want and you'll be fine. Trolling at it's worst. Much like many of the early biased reviewers, you can't just play every game for the first time on Hard and expect to have a great experience. Just because you may have played some First Person Shooters on Hard first doesn't mean that translates to all games. Smarten up. Flip the difficulty down and learn how to play. Increase difficulty when you have the skill to back it up. "It looks like a kid game, it should be super-easy!" It's not, get over it. Knack 2 is going to be even harder for you, don't bother. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwightsarmy14 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Knack is one of the greatest games of the entire generation. you clearly know nothing about games! Or you are one of these Anti-Knack lobbyists hired by the government to tarnish his name. If that is the case you are worst then everyone involved in watergate! Rethink your agenda before ever mentioning Knack again. The game deserves nothing but praise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
