For some reason I'm trying to get the Platinum trophy for this piece of shit so I've already finished it twice because Cerny decided it would be fun to make getting the skins reliant on random treasure chests available once a playthrough.
It's not bad in concept if extremely simple, but it's almost as if it was designed to be as frustrating as humanly possible. Enemies kill you in one or two hits and love to group and mix together with ranged and close combat classes.
Most areas love putting ranged enemies across the map that can snipe you easily from that distance and actively track your movements and delay shots until you're vulnerable, and you have no means to take them down from a distance beyond one of your special moves that you have to charge up. Of course they love to mix in with regular enemies in unskippable rooms so that while you're trying to deal with and dodge the close range ones the ranged ones will simply hit you where the close ranged ones don't. Even when you close the gap they can just simply take you by surprise and hit you with a melee attack themselves, and both they and the close ranged ones love dodging away from you back into their brethren to waste your opportunity. It's downright infuriating and I don't see how kids will have the patience for it.
One thing I will say in its favour is that in the digital version at least the load times are virtually non-existent even when skipping an end of chapter cutscene to go to the next level. I don't know how they optimised that but it's very impressive. Doesn't make the game any better, but I wish more games would learn from this.
Calling it a platformer is also a complete joke because there is barely any platforming to speak of. It's just a barebones and frustrating beat-em-up 90% of the time. The boss fights are also complete and utter bullshit.
Despite this MAYBE the sequel will fix this shit, as I think there is a decent game in there somewhere that kids will enjoy.

How much does Knack run for these days, anyway? Surely not more than $20...

I got it for like $5 in a sale.
Same as OP. I'm bewildered by the difficulty in this boring ass game. I died a ton to the first exploding bug. No child could beat this. Knacks reach is so small it's so hard to hit anyone without taking damage.
The aesthetics are also bizarre. Trolls and swords with stylized modern humans and guns? It's so off-putting. How are they making a sequel? Memes?
>>
I've seen some talks from journalists a.d stuff who've previewed Knack 2 say its a lot improved but I have my doubts.
I legit hope Knack 2 actually delivers though cause I like good games and also it would be fucking hilarious if Knack 2 actually turned out to be great. If its just mediocre it'll be swiftly forgotten and ignored like the first.

>>387025112
PS4 surely has the best exclusives. True quality :^)
Good thing Knack 2 is coming to wipe the floor with BotW, Automata and other shitty games that came out lately.

>>387025375
I got it off PSN for a sale for like $10 about a year ago out of morbid curiosity, and it goes on sale a fair bit on there. It's currently $7.55 on the Australian PSN so if you're at least a Yuropoor that sale will also apply to you as well. Yeah as far as retail goes it's about $20 over here on average (pre-owned tends to be more expensive). Get it from EB Games/FUCKING GAMESTOP and return it within a week if you don't like it. I DO NOT recommend playing it on Hard, as I based my entire critique in the OP on that difficulty. It may be a lot easier on the lower difficulties though I hear it is still fairly annoying.

It really is artificial difficulty and massively trial and error. You get killed in one way, then learn the enemy's pattern and then they kill you for dodging that as well. So many enemies also have stupid fucking shockwave attacks that have massive reach as well, punishing you for dodging. The demolition goblins are downright laughable with how cheap they are. You get close to them and then they just jump up in the air and ninja throw bombs on the ground, and usually drop more when you kill them. Simultaneous hits against enemies are also extremely common. It's just infuriating the way the game makes you fight multiple enemies at once that all kill you in basically one hit, and has the audacity to make them dodge frequently out of the way when you try and get an advantage, especially when they chuck in ranged enemies in those rooms as well. The lack of a grace period after getting hit is a problem as well. Like I said, it seems almost intentionally frustrating and despite getting larger enemies scale with you so you almost never feel powerful.The worst part is lore-wise he's supposed to be FUCKING INVINCIBLE.

Probably pic related. I was bored the entire way through and decided to tank the last half just to see the delta episode (which turned out to be a massive disappointment).
Runner up would probably be Final Fantasy XV. When I got to chapter 3 and started doing every quest I could find, I realized (after spending much more time than I should have) the cookie-cutter mmo sidequests would never end so I decided to just go straight for the story. The ending was the only redeeming thing about the game.
I don't finish very many games.

This piece of shit. At the time I realised the game sucks I was too far in to stop playing. 70 hours down the drain. Didn't bother with the DLC island thankfully.

You know, this game actually shows what a short attention span the Uncharted generation of players actually has.
Really, I've spent most of my day yesterday watching the kids not break anything in hotel's playroom. And most of PS4's installed there had just one game. Yup, it was Knack. And kids,ranging from 5 to 10 year olds, while struggling initially, actually cleared even the most intricate fragments of the game without any problem.
What that shows is complete absence of patience and conectration among many nu-gamers nowadays. Knack is actually very easy game and one of it's core mechanics is based on learning the enemies' attack patterns and finding the way to deal with them. Having the game punishing you for not knowing what you're doing and actually making enemy encounters a breathe when you know how to deal with certain situations is, well, fun. And believe me, every kid I've watched had fun even while losing in his or her first few attempts.
In that way Knack is indeed a blast from the past, a game which relies on it's core game mechanics from beginning to end, without shoving crap ton of gimmicks, different gameplay styles, explosions and "oh so epic" set pieces. And that is why I'm glad Sony actually decided to greenlight the sequel, even with so many reviewers getting their asses kicked and whining about it.

It wasn't even a challenge but when i finally 100% i was pretty mad that i'd wasted my time. The only thing that kept me going was the idea that once i 100%ed i'd never have to play it again.

Probably Virginia. It's an interactive fiction kind of deal (arguably not even a game) with texture-less 3D graphics, simplistic character models, and no dialogue. I thought it was gonna be a more artsy proto-Firewatch, but the story was weirdly hard to follow due to questionable flashbacks/-forwards, and mostly it was just plain boring. After one and a half hours, it seemed to slowly pick up, and then it was over. I really considered refunding that trash, but then, I did finish it, even if it was less than two hours long, and I got it dirt cheap... At the very least it definitely taught me that the BAFTA award is actually a joke.

Not really though.
Whats funny about playing below average game is how varied the level design is.
Some of the levels are actually passable. It is really like you are playing a different game all together.

I have over 300 hours in this game on Steam. Mostly from Mercenaries mode which is legitimately good, but I've played through the story mode 4-5 times, and that is a 4/10 at best.
>>
>>387032215
I tried to force myself through the story as well but eventually abandoned it. It's the kind of mindless thing that isn't even interesting enough to pass as a time waster. Sad, really.

Probably The Witcher 3. It wasn't that bad, it's just that I don't really finish games I don't like.
6/10

The hell are you talking about OP. Knack is just the right difficulty. I don't do Ubisoft checklist shit because I have a job so I don't know about that department.
Honestly, of the two games at launch Knack was the better option. Might even get Knack 2 once it drops in price. Simple satisfying game play my dude.

Shadow of Mordor really stands out. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. Awful map, horrific combat, terrible upgrade system insulting trophies, literal shitware DLC.
I am 98% done the Platinum and I had to uninstall the game, it's one of the worst drags and easily the worst overall open world game I have ever played.
