Side-by-Side Review: Knack

 Couple's Co-op - Side-by-Side Reviews - Knack

Knack is a kid-oriented action platformer available on the PS4. In this game, Player One plays as the titular automaton, who appears to exist in indentured servitude to three greedy buffoons whose primary life-goal is the acquisition of Relics. By absorbing these Relics, Knack can grow from knee-high up to three stories tall.

CO-OP PLAY

Mike (Player 1) says:

Knack’s co-op was fun and entertaining, as co-op games should be. However, if playing with an experienced platform gamer the game will be frustrating for Player 2. Knack seems similar to the dynamic of Sonic and Tails in Sonic The Hedgehog 2. In the latter, Sonic is the main adventurer while Tails is along for the ride. Knack of course is the main character while the co-op silver “mini-Knack” doesn’t even get a name. The camera always follows Knack and will continue to follow him with or without your silver companion. Mini-Knack is helpful by being able to attack and even help take down enemies. Another Tails similarity is mini-Knack can never fully die. When his health is completely gone he can just respawn near Knack after a few seconds. One different feature from the Sonic The Hedgehog co-op gameplay is when Knack’s health is low, mini-Knack can give some of his relics to keep Knack alive which comes in handy when fighting tough bosses.

The downside to the co-op gameplay is the camera. At times Player 2 is completely off-screen or even teleported back closer to Knack, even if mini-Knack is in mid-fight. This can be really troublesome when playing and it makes it seem that co-op was definitely an afterthought.
