Knack: Great Fun, Great Story

Knack

With the release of PS4, we get a flurry of some exclusives and ports to hold us over until the real games release; the ones with better visuals, take better use of the power of the machine, etc. Knack, however, is a game where that doesn't apply.

Cartoon graphics add on to this brilliant and down right fun 3-D platforming game. Most games you see have ultra realistic characters and ridiculously detailed environments, but Knack takes a much different approach. Because of this, the game feels even better than anticipated.

Story wise, the game is great! With some exhilarating scenes and events that leave you on your feet and wanting to play more, the game does well. Its a good story with some twists and some turns, and even some cool sequences.

Control wise, the game is perfect with no flaws. Knack isn't too fast or too slow. His movement is very fluent and like a cartoon, unlike movement like in the first Ratchet and Clank or the Uncharted Series. Your attacks are balanced and grow as you grow (literally, grow), and the ability to dodge anything with ease is a nice touch as well. Slowed time as you are about to be hit help you get used to the dodging ability.

All in all, Knack is a beautiful game with a great art style that just blew me away. The execution of the game was perfect and had no flaws in my eyes.

5/5 Great visuals, great controls, awesome story, awesome actors, awesome art
