See if the Knack 2 trailer makes you want to give the little guy another chance
Knack may have been a total dud, but Sony is still pressing forward with Knack 2.
The visual style and cartoony cutscenes will be familiar to anyone who played the original, but Knack 2 has the benefit of hindsight.
Here's what the game is promising, according to the video description:
- Over 20 awesome moves including boomerang, whip rush, sword, multi-bomb and body slam
- Grow to the size of a building or shrink down to just two-feet tall
- Jump in a tank or robot and control it – or just destroy them
- Collect relics to power up and smash your way through hordes of enemies
- Seamless co-op mode so you can play together whenever you choose
- Accessible gameplay for kids and challenging gameplay for adults
- Vibrantly colored world with stunning graphics
- Puzzles for varying skill levels
In other words, Knack 2 is a game you play with your kids, and that's why it has co-op now. Fair enough. It'll also have 4K support on PS4 Pro.
Knack 2 will be available on September 5, exclusively for PlayStation 4.
