How is Knack a platformer?

If the R & C game is anything like the PS2 games it won't be much of a platformer either.

How is it not? It's defined by Sony as a platform action adventure game and has plenty of platforming gameplay to be defined as such.

R&C was definitely a platform game, later games in the series were too, the new one isn't just a straight up copy of the original PS2 game. It's based on the movie, with some similarities to the original, but it's a new game really and Ratchet & Clank games in general have solid platformer gameplay as the core of what they're about.

 

A game doesn't have to just have platforming gameplay to be a platform game.

Care to show me these platforming sections in Knack and the first R&C?

Do we define Metroid as a platformer? It has much more platforming than Knack and R & C combined.

My problem is that everyone calls any character driven cartoony game a platformer these days.
