Item Description

The man who designed the PlayStation 4's hardware also directed one of its launch games. Mark Cerny, the veteran behind Marble Madness and a key figure in the early Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon games, served as lead architect of the PS4 and led development of Knack at SCE Japan Studio, a family-friendly action platformer that arrived alongside the console in 2013. Its hero doubled as a tech demo: a creature built from ancient relics, each one a separate piece tumbling, clinking and reassembling around him as he moves.

Knack grows as he goes. Smash through enemies and scenery, absorb the relics scattered through each level, and he swells from a knee-high scrapper into a towering giant who can swat tanks and stomp through buildings, then shrinks again as he takes damage. Some stages let him pull in other materials, such as ice and wood, which change how he fights and what can hurt him. The combat looks simple but bites back at higher difficulties, rewarding dodges and well-timed punches over button mashing, and hidden rooms reward exploration with crystals and parts used to build gadgets and alternate forms of Knack. A second player can drop in at any time as a shiny Robot Knack for couch co-op.

The story has the warm, cartoonish feel of a Saturday-morning animated film. The kindly Doctor Vargas creates Knack to help humanity push back a goblin uprising led by Gundahar, with the doctor's young assistant Lucas and the adventurer Ryder along for the ride, but the wealthy industrialist Viktor has plans of his own for the relics and the goblins' secrets. The journey moves from villages and forests to snowy mountains, castles and goblin strongholds.

Knack drew mixed reviews at launch, yet it has gathered an affectionate cult following in the years since, enough to earn a sequel, Knack II, in 2017. As an original PS4 launch game created by the console's own architect, it is a fascinating piece of PlayStation history and a relaxed co-op platformer for parents and kids to play together.
