How doable is this game?

Im curious, what are you final thought of the game and the platinum journey?

It’s a slog. Minimum of three playthroughs or so. 
 

Dull storyline. Dour characters, none of the Ratchet & Clank or Jak & Daxter style humor, which should be expected of a game with Pixar inspired graphics. 
 

Cheap difficulty. Enemies anticipate many of your moves. Dodge feels ineffective. Enemy attacks on Very Hard difficulty come out with cat like reflexes. 
 

There’s a section in Chapter 5 where you have to escape from a giant orb sucking away the relics that make Knack. Horribly designed and it’s awful on Very Hard difficulty. 
 

Knack doesn’t feel rewarding. There’s also no real sense of progression like with Ratchet & Clank or God of War. Combat doesn’t feel rewarding like with Dark Souls. It just feels cheap, and the combat system is too shallow.

 

Knack 2 better be a better game, because Knack 1 is definitely not a great PS4 exclusive, given that this was a launch title.
