Forums - Sony Discussion - BOMBA!!! Knack Reviews

Tagged games:

I expected lower reviews but not that low.

My prediction was 6 - 8 / 10.
Now it got a 3/10, 4/10 and a 5.9/10...

Anyway: Do not let your hype get killed by reviewers. Go and get this game!!!!


Next stop: Ryse.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

The problem with Knack lies in a deeper flaw with Sony in my opinion; they're following the path of trying to make games more like movies, therefore when they tried to make a family friendly game, instead of looking to games like Mario, Rayman, or their own Crash Bandicoot for inspiration, they looked to the likes of Shrek.

It's not that terrible at the moment on metacritic, it holds 60 after 12 reviews.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Ohh shit,reviews are not looking good for ps4 exclusives.

You mean just Knack. Everything else is doing fine (in regards to launch titles).

Killzone has taken a drop from its two previous iterations.

It's two previous iterations also weren't launch titles. For that matter, we should go look at all franchises who's reviews scores have "taken a drop" (again, and which were launch games - since this does make a difference). You'd be surprised to find out who they were and how little it mattered.

That's beside the point though, sub-zero-TM said it wasn't looking good for PS4 exclusives review wise and I agree that both Knack and Killzone fell short of expectations.



Signature goes here!

Saying otherwise is just defensive, I agree with Truck and Sub zero.

I don't buy that it's just a new console launch thing either.

(and yes before you say it CGI, I expect the same from Xbox One)

This is the PS4 game in which I'm most interested...
There are enough good scores that my interest hasn't really wavered...



Have a nice day...

After reading some reviews for Knack it seems that its suffering from being well... Boring. Theyre obviously trying to go for that Crash Bandicoot style action/platformer style, but its simply not up to the standards of what is quite frankly one of the best platforming series' there is.

I said it when the game was revealed. They need to add stuff into the levels and they need to give Knack "more", so to say, when it comes to the actual platforming. It seems very restrictive too.

Kids will love it, but the people looking for that nostalgic, Crash Bandicoot-like experience aint gonna be the ones talking about it.

WTF I predicted 79, no points for me :(

Same here. Guessed 77. I can't catch a break.



Auto update OP critic review thread... a new way to the next-gen guys.

PS. I didn't need to update the thread at all... thanks God.
