If this recent nomination has gauged your interest in Knack 2 then you should read our review of it.
“If [Knack 1’s] track record has you worried, I’ll say this: Mark Cerny and company heard the complaints, and this is their response,” our reviewer wrote. “Knack 2 is all fast-paced action and dramatic plot twists and tight, skillful platforming. It’s not perfect, but it makes a compelling case for the character platformer as a genre. In this era of first-person shooters and gritty action games, that’s a victory unto itself.”
