    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.

    Game is a blast! Who cares abou the story come on! Do you play crash bandicoot for the story?

  • @OtterloopB
    @OtterloopB 4 роки тому +4

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gotta say, I love your guys reviews and I love the classic Brandon Jones style.

The personalities of EZA is what everyone loves, this format is a bit dated now (still appreciate the work!)

      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.
