Dunkey has a shit taste in games, he also thinks that all 3D Sonic games suck while I'm sure he never played all of them. Come the fuck on, I played Knack and it's just so shitty that it should have never been made.
Cybernik The Robot People watch himm for his content, entertainment and sometimes opinion but if you don't like him thats fine. No need to make a big deal about it ^^
Me and my bro just beat it earlier today since it was free last month on Playstation. I gotta say I honestly really enjoyed it. Deciding to put it on Hard Mode during the 1st playthrough probably wasn't the best idea but we managed. I'm really thinking about buying Knack 2 now lol
I remember much younger and this is one of the first games I got. I was so young at the time I thought this game was a complete masterpiece, and its oddly enough one of the things that made me start gaming a lot more. Nowadays I definitely see all its flaws and how bad the storyline was, but it is still pretty fun to replay. Game is not good, but I partially owe it credit for getting me into games a lot, so I can't really knock it to hard.
Honestly a similar story to me as it was The first game that I ever beat by myself and probably one of the reasons why I still play video games to this day
Doesn't seem as bad as I expected based on what I heard, but being bad to replay is a big glaring flaw especially when The Wonderful 101 came out the same year with better execution of so many of the nicer stuff here (it is nice though) and Crash Bandicoot had decent replay value as well.
Based on what you heared. Good thing that i don't heared anything of the Game before played it. I had so much Fun with Knack I and then they released Knack II and made it even so much better!
4:24 "...every battle felt the same. That is was a mindless slog beating up *the same enemies* over and over." ...And Doom gets a free pass on few enemy types? EDIT: Clarification in the replies. It's also important to note that I actually haven't played either.
@@aidanmackniskas4524 So does Knack, as you grow your strategies change, enemies have different things as you go on, etc. They both have strengths, weaknesses and strategy
The point was that having few enemy types isn't a problem if the enemies are diverse enough and you mix up their arrangement, count, and arena, which both Doom and Knack II do.
thelastgogeta Wait, so you’re telling me that the developers not only made a great game, but made it better by throwing porn on top? I am 100% on board.
I did beat it resently and i love it. Will definitly try to get the Platinum Trophy, even if this means, beating it 4 times ^^ And yes, even on normal it did feel hard, but at the same time, it teaches you really well to get good in the Game. After beating it, playing the (time) challenges, feels like natural automatic dodging everything. I heared that on higher difficulty the enemies don't just do more dmg, but also getting more agressive. Can't wait to see this!^^
Knack is a very good game. Not the best. But a very stable, good game with fun mechanics and physics and a suprisingly serious story. The topic, of humans trying to always get bigger and bigger by using limited ressources and dangering their environment, reminds me of todays society and its great problems. It gives serious questions and many different characters, that I really wanted to know more about. Especially Knack and his Origin. I' m only happy that there is a Knack 2. And hopefully other sequels will follow. Thank u for the fair review Gamechamp ! Best Regards!
Here's an idea for a video in the same spirit as the myth videos for Mario Odyssey and BotW Can you try making everyone happy in the 3 day cycle of Majora's Mask
It isn't possible, because making everybody happy includes all 4 dungeons, the wedding quest, the Romania quests, and a bunch of smaller stuff around every area, id be impressed if he could even do a fourth of the stuff you can do in this game within the 3 day cycle
Well at the end of the game each boss can be challenged upon entering the dungeon. Which only leaves only the fairies, the wedding which can be done gradually and Romani isn't that long.
Knack sales went up 200% since the release of this video. Not including the original 1 bought from Gamechamp to make this video 1 other person bought it
Sometimes, Knack is fun to play. What else matters? And Knack 2, at least in my own experience, is a lot more fun to play. The conclusion we can draw from this is that Knack 3 needs to exist. Also the playable character, Knack himself just has such cool visual designs, especially in all of his big forms and i really like the lore even though I wish the lore was deeper. However, even i must admit that neither Knack games are perfect. They are just not perfect. And if you play them too often, you will feel like there is nothing left to do and the fun will be sucked out of it. So just play it SOMETIMES and you might love it forever.
"Or in Ero-HOWDIDTHATGETINTHEREEEEEEEE" WE KNOW NOW, GAMECHAMP! WE KNOW. Also, I think I disagree somewhat. Is Megaman not a platformer because each map screen with platforming has enemies you have to face in combat on different elevations? It's still a platformer. This is what I'd argue that Cerny means with "A platformer that de-emphasizes jumping", or, in short, a minimalist platformer that doesn't utilize platforming elements much; this is what causes the other elements to come to the fore more, such that it comes across far more as something akin to God of War than Crash Bandicoot.
Kain Yusanagi Megaman is a PLATFORMER because you PLATFORM. There are PLATFORMS that you PLATFORM on. KNACK is a BEAT EM' UP because you BEAT EM' (EM' referring to the enemies) UP. I feel there is a big difference that you can't see.
Jude The Duck, it still has platforming. It just minimalizes the platforming elements, as Cerny noted. Just as Megaman is a shooter platformer, or Contra is a shooter platformer. Contra doesn't do the platforming as much as Megaman, but it does it much more than Knack does. This is why Cerny calls it a minimalist platformer, even though there are better catagories for it to be primarily noted under, which is what I was saying in my original post, which if you are paying attention, agreed with Gamechamp that it's more akin to God of War than to Crash Bandicoot.
I would consider the game to be the genre that it most resembles. Knack's platforming elements are very minor, and its beat-em-up elements very pronounced. Therefore: beat-em-up with platforming elements.
I played a short preview of Knack in my local game retailer and immediately wanted a PS4 so I could play it. My family later got one and to this day, it is still on a shelf with all of the other games I have and still am playing
I'm sorry, but most of the things you said are positive are in my opinion the bare essentials of competent design for a beat em up game. I think the consensus for Knack is that it's just aggressively average, and while I respect the fact you enjoyed it, I see nothing in this review that makes me think this game does much of anything that I haven't seen done before in a better game. Add to that it looks absolutely devoid of any charm, interesting environments, visual flair, interesting characters, engaging story or memorable set pieces, I'm still going to pass.
i used to go to my friend's house when i was little, like six or seven, and just eat the apples his grandma grew in his backyard while watching him play this game, ive seen him beat it like 6 times over and its his favorite game of all time. this video brought up some of the warmest memories of my life
I'm glad you enjoyed this game and your excitement really is infectious but I do disagree with a few point. Specifically with this game be akin to brawllers, brawllers are fun because you have varied moves and combos that one can pull off while exploring cool new environments and getting new abilities and items ( ex: God of War, Devil May Cry, ect ). With knack the problem is less repetitive enemies as it is the feeling of never getting strong. Even as big Knack where you throw tanks you can still be killed in 1 or 2 hits and still only have 3 punches and your special crystal moves. However I will give it another try with the perspective you have presented and see if I come away with a new opinion.
The problem with the size mechanic is that it's not a mechanic. Some sections have you small, others have you big. If you're supposed to be big, you're big. Always. Because the cutscenes require you to be specific sizes. Game is bad otherwise. The 3 different enemy types are boring to fight, there's no level design, and the story is horrendous. It is a pretty game though, even if the PS4 limited some of its potential due to it being shit hardware even back when it came out.
This doesn’t excuse the story being absolute garbage and levels being stupidly long for no apparent reason. The number of times I’ve thought “what the fuck am I working towards in this level?” while playing this game is a lot.
10/5
"Makes you feel like batman."

is there a lore reason knack doesn't do big jumps, is he stupid?
Dunkey would agree with the title

Come the fuck on, I played Knack and it's just so shitty that it should have never been made.

You do not compare doom to knack
It is law
Metabloxer they do have different enemy types tho each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and strategies

Knack is back!
I agree with you
It's not a masterpiece but it has some creative elements
Colin Schwartz WHAT IT’S NOT A MASTERPIECE BUT A KNACKSTERPIECE
Btw when you hit right after dodge, your attack’s range gets longer and this is really useful for harder modes
I’m glad this exists. Someone who doesn’t hate knack.
I just love it when games make you use the environment to your advantage... like in monster hunter using ledges and it make sense where you fight
It looks like a really cool game, I’ve always wanted to get it.
I would recommend it
HERE COMES THE MONEY KNACK IS BACK BAYBEE

No, you have to go through the dungeon to get all the fairies, he couldn't even do half the sidequests in the same day.
Okay what if we ignored the fairies?
Mudkip971 you can't, that would mean you aren't making everyone happy
I mostly like Knack because I used it as a bonding experience with my dad. Playing games is what keeps us together.
Did you just mention a H game before scrapping and saying "how did that get here" (the game is called Eroico and its a hentai game)
but is hard
lets not forget that the "Monster" knack turns into a bunch of lego's even when big when he steps on a twig in very hard.
Knack sales went up 200% since the release of this video. Not including the original 1 bought from Gamechamp to make this video 1 other person bought it
Knack is so much fun to play i actually replay it, not just to grind the collectibles but just, well, play through the game again

Now Knack 2? An absolute classic.

I've been playing knack it's actually not that bad
A video about knack and its greatness, amazing, i still have my copy and beat the game multiple times, it still never gets old personally
Just thank for this video, seriously thank you.
First, knack no suck, second, what's the least amount of times you have to throw Cappy in super Mario odyssey to beat the last kingdom?
Kitten in A bag
Technically, none. 2 player mode.
SuperUltraHyperBlaze -_-
Kitten in A bag in 1 player, I think 24 or so.
Sometimes, Knack is fun to play. What else matters?
And Knack 2, at least in my own experience, is a lot more fun to play.
The conclusion we can draw from this is that Knack 3 needs to exist.
Also the playable character, Knack himself just has such cool visual designs, especially in all of his big forms and i really like the lore even though I wish the lore was deeper.
However, even i must admit that neither Knack games are perfect.
They are just not perfect.
And if you play them too often, you will feel like there is nothing left to do and the fun will be sucked out of it.
So just play it SOMETIMES and you might love it forever.
