Knack|Machinima



Knack is a 2013 platformer game, published by Sony (as one of the launch titles on Playstation4) and developed by Japan Studio.  It features a cast of funky, cartoon-y looking characters and monsters and its mainly aimed at younger audience. This game is also full of colorful world, which, unfortunately, player can't explore fully. Game guides thru a series of tunnels and tight streets, where most of the objects can't be destroyed (there are many doors to hidden rooms). Also, many gamers complaint about it being too easy and not stunning enough for new generation of consoles.

Cut-scenes that are shown in Knack and actual gameplay aren't different at all. However, player can't really control Knack during the cinematiq sequences (like it's possible in many shooting games, e.g. latest Killzone or Battlefield).

Knack it's a fun game and I personally enjoyed it a lot (enough to spent almost 60hrs to get all trophies). I wish there would be more platformer games that kinda have a same vibe as old Crash Bandicoot or Sly. These would rock on the Playstaion 4 or XboxOne.
