Good point, you can combo in god of War whereas Knack is just a one button basher.

I think comparing Knack combat to Sonic Boom is a fair statement.

That's a bit harsh.

How about Werehog? That was my first ever thought upon seeing it. "This looks like Sonic Unleashed if the Werehog was the entire game".

I find it baffling that Game informer awarded it an 8.4/10 while Edge awarded it 3/10. Who are you supposed to listen to.

You don't have to listen to any one when deciding to buy a game, you make that decision yourself. If you really want to go off reviews, then understand who is reviewing the game and if their points have any merit with you. It's not that hard.

OP called knack "typical" and you're surprised that it got bad reviews? It's a simple as fuck game that deserved the reviews it got.

Dude if you liked the game who cares about review scores?

The Werehog actually has better combat and platforming segment than Knack.

 

[Myggen]

A boring, uninspired platformer with an awful story and voice acting. I thought reviewers were too kind.

 

[GoodCoffeeJoey]

No, it was really bad.

I had a lot of fun with it. The dancing Knack at the end made everything worth it.

I got knack for about $20 on clearance at Sam's Club a month after it came out. It had its faults but I had fun with it. Don't worry about review scores. Play what you like and what interests you.

 

[mujun]

Endless arena after arena of the same old combat which offered very little in the way of options. Couple that with a lack of any decent platforming or jumping and a charmless story.

I think it got the reviews it deserved.

Got it in the sale this week, I don't understand all the hate, it's just a cute looking platform action game, nothing more and nothing less.

- its the very first PS4 software ever unveiled.
- it was Cerny's game

people are mad about that. They wanted more or expected more...

On the first point, I still have an hard time believing they unveiled their first PS4 game with such a dull statement. " oh and by the way, this is Knack " DUDE, FIRST PS4 SOFTWARE, hype it a little jesus, at least try to show you are happy.

 

[Condemned]

I agreed with the reviews. But OP, dont let the reviews bother you. If you enjoyed the game then thats great =)
