"Ice is nice"
I haven't been this moved by videogame writing since Earthbound's "it could only cost you your life, and you got that for free."
KNACK KNACK KNACKING ON HEAVENS DOOR
Hey, hey, hey hey yeah
Automatically 5/5. Ambitious return shocks everyone and changes gaming forever.
KNACK 2 BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
DreamParadox did somebody say KNACK?!
DreamParadox I wouldn't be surprised if dunkey trolls everyone and skips doing a knack 2 review.
Edit: nope, dunkey review just dropped babyyyyy
Yeah go Kack.
KNAAACK
KNAAAAAAACK
KNAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Knack of the Old Republic
Will Mario Odyssey be able to compete with this MASTAPEECE???
It's actually really fun. Enough to replay on new game+ on a harder difficulty. Lots of moves unlocked and combat starts to feel challenging. It's basically God of War for kids, with more platforming and puzzles.
KNACK IS BACK BABY
*A T O N E M E N T*
Wow! 5 stars!? Didn't see that coming. What a masterpiece.
DID SOMEBODY SAY KNAAAAAAAAAAAACCCKKKK!!!!?
Here comes da MONEYYYYYY!!!
Great review! It'd be nice to see actual comments on it other than people repeating the same tired meme over and over again.
HDR is ALSO feature of regular PS4, not just Pro as you have basically stated...
That's cool, Bloodworth, thank you!
MASTAPEECE
I feel that Kyle Bosman should have been made to review this game as redemption for him weaselling out of bets.
StarTsurugi how did he weasel out?
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Ulises Alexander instablaster ;)
@@earvingd Twice. He once lost a bet and had to do a stand-up routine... He just downloaded animal jokes off the net and recited those.
2nd he had to stream A Link to The Past. He Streamed someone else playing a Link to the Past.
A knack in time. Knack to the future. The knackening. Knackpocalypse. Knackstradamous. Knacktopia. The knackpack.
Game is a blast! Who cares abou the story come on! Do you play crash bandicoot for the story?
As someone who has played and actually finished it and isn't endlessly parroting dunkey... yeah, wow. Knack 2 was actually pretty decent! More decent than I expected.
I actually liked the story. I think it took longer than I would have liked to get started, but once things finally started rolling... I actually wanted to keep playing to see what happens next. Things really do build up to a surprisingly epic finale. In fact, the story even had a few twists I didn't see coming, though some twists were easy to see coming as well.
Couple all of that with good voice-acting (I'm legit serious here- Knack does more than make ice puns. He actually has some tender, worthwhile things to say at times), decent platforming, and tight combat that really requires you to think out a strategy rather than mindlessly button mash... and Knack 2 is better than the dunkey parrots would have you believe.
For those who have the capacity to think for themselves and aren't easily manipulated by memes, give Knack 2 a shot. I'm honestly glad I saw it through. In fact, if Knack 3 were ever announced...
Yeah. I'd be down for it. This series isn't as bad as some would have you believe. I'm glad I brushed past all the group-think and played it for myself.
Just wanted to say a big thanks to New Zealand ;).
Aoi2012 australia is my saviour
iplayunity England is my city
I would tell you guys to let the man take a brake and play Nier Automata (since he's finally done with Persona 5) but Michael Huber was born for this review, along with the review of RE2 Remake.
If only the character designs weren't _so fugly._
Only the humans.
Hassan Ghanim knack himself looks dumb as hell
Paul Keefer
Yeah they're all have comically short legs and giant heads
Who gives a crap about the story, I'm just glad their still making games like this. But they've been so harshly criticized that developers might not even make them anymore
I enjoyed the first and this one looks fun. Hopefully it's just as tough
thumbs up because I love Brandon's voice
Swimmin' in 7s: Electric Boogaloo
Easy Allies' first SIX STAR review
Playing Knack atm.
Thanks to PS+.
First time Im playing this game and I gotta say it's really fun.
It's def. one of those jump and run games you must give a try.
Never had the chance to play it on it's release.
Now Im gonna check out Knack 2 for sure!
10/5 a knacksterpiece
*K N A C K 2 B A Y B E E*
Damn alot of these comments sure like to bash knack 2 without even playing it.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Ghandi.
Abraham Lincoln.
Malcolm X.
Jesus.
*KNACK*
I just finished Knack 2 today (also, thanks to PSN for the Free Game error)
And I have to say, I'm really impressed!
I still think the visuals needed more work, and I would've liked to see a bit more serious story, and a change to an open level design, like Ratchet & Clank, but, aside from that, the game is a HUGE Improvement from the first game.
The combat is deeper, more tactical, and more fun.
The story, I thought was really good (at least for a Platforming game).
The variety is nicely done.
And the soundtrack, is REALLY GOOD! Nothing iconic, but still really good.
I gave Knack 1 a 7/10
Knack 2? 8/10
I just would've liked to fight more bosses, and another chance to play as the Enormous/Huge Knack like at the end of the first game.
since you enjoyed the game, you should at least support it.
Hassan Ghanim I am...
Royal Knight Me too, the game play great.
Britney I'm glad you agree!
Royal Knight glad you enjoyed the soundtrack- I worked hard on it! Thanks very much for the mention. The game soundtrack album is up on youtube but send me your info and I'll send it to you if you'd like it!
Knack 1 the most underated game on the PS4
Not really, Putty Squad is far more underrated.
UH OHHH, DID SOMEONE SAY KNAAAAAAAACK!?
Wait WTF the combat is actually dynamic and the little form is now useful. I thought this game was just a meme from Dunkey but it actually looks fun. Knack with sword hands.... best game ever. MASTAPIECE!!!!!!
Kingdom hearts 1.5 & 2.5 Remix or KNACK 2? Which one you guys recommend to buy?
How is 3.5/5 decent? Sounds like a 2.5. Can't believe 7/10 average scores are here too.
With most of the review being positive I expected a slightly higher score.
What a meme
Man there hasn't been an action-platformer in quite some time, looks like this sequel is an improvement. Will be purchasing this in the later future. Thanks for the review Easy Allies.
That missed pun at the end, cmoooooooooooooooon
10/5, knacksterpiece
Seems like a good pick up on the cheap, Knack 1 was like 4 dollars for me and haven't even opened it.
knack 2 is actually good, knack1 not so much.
Gotta say, I love your guys reviews and I love the classic Brandon Jones style. But you guys are known now, maybe a bonus video where you sit down with Huber and have a discussion about his review? The personalities of EZA is what everyone loves, this format is a bit dated now (still appreciate the work!)
Easy Allies Have you ever thought of posting clip-outs of FrameTrap or any Easy Allies Plays videos that are multiple hours long? Or is it preferable to have one upload and direct someone to a timestamp on video for specific topics?
I wonder if my brother would play this with me. I wasn't so interested until seeing two-player.
Uh oh did somebody say KNACK
Bit too high I finished this game and played in coop too. Score should've been at least *3/5*
Knack, Knacker, Knackest
It's knackenning
KNACK IS BACK
*FIRST EVER 10/5 A KNACKSTERPIECE BAYBEEE*
Wow. Less than five stars? Seems like 'love and respect' was forgotten for this review...
Nothing about Knack seems remotely interesting or engaging, but he sure is a great meme.
You clearly don't have kids because kids love the game.
kraenk12 My 10 year old son didn't even want to finish the demo...he went back to Breath of the Wild. ✌️
HERE COMES DA MONAYYYY
So um... whom exactly provided the review copy?
This review is bang on. I enjoyed knack 2 more than I thought possible. Shame no-one seems to care
KNACK 2 BABY
Same rating you gave Ratchet and Clank (2016) Huber, deal with It, lol. Love you EZA ❤
As always thanks for another review! So, Yooka got 3 stars, almost same grade... Does it mean its gameplay, platforming, puzzles, surroundings, sound, variety, combat, story (?), animations (??), progression system (???) and so on are almost equal? Really... Interesting.
Phaedrus Socrates no it means different people rate things differently
Jade Nepia Well, thank you, human, now you are telling me/us reviews are just futile filler, time killer. Not profesion, no standards to uphold or look up to... Or help create.
can't wait for the sequel, Sonic 3 & Knackles
Knack review not comming from Kyle? :O Whaaaat? To prevent it having a 6/5 I assume?
3:36 "ICE IS NICE" knack 2017
KNACK 2 THA FUTURE BAAAAAAAABEEEEEEEE !
Damn, it's already been 4 years?
Dont know why, but this made me crave an iNinja 2. I guess everything does tho.
Was waiting for "Knack....is back!" and never got it.
I like what I saw. Will definitely play it.
Knack is back Baby!
Watch how Shrek disappeared into thin air. True next gen
"Ice is nice" I threw up a lil
Knack is such an uderrated gem baebeeee!!
It's one of those things where I'm happy the game is a solid 7/10, but also mourning the loss of an EZA all time great meme.
Keanu Valen 3.5/5, not a 7/10. If they were using a 100pt scale, you'd more than likely be seeing some rating between 7.2 and 7.8.
#0000ff - Alpha Quantitatively yes, qualitatively no. That was the point you clearly missed with that stroke of genius over basic arithmetic.
10/5 just for the graphics, dont even get me started on the graphics
"Review by Michael Huber" Can we trust him on new Knack game ? :thinking:
But also to be honest at least you guys were more fair than IGN with this review.
Truly a masterpiece of a game.
Was Huber happy to know that Knack could speak?
10/10 ITS A KNACKTERPIECE BABYYYYYYYYYYY
Sony got too much money. It's like they wanna throw it away. And unexpectedly the Devs make it works. Fucking love it.
what's his first name? I know Knack is the last name.
sheikah__bitch Stack

Ben Moore should have written it :D
I think I wanna play Knack 2
