This game is pretty damn hard. It reminds me of the original Jak and Daxter, which is making me kinda like this game. Art style and combat seems varied, but damn, it is a pretty difficult game combat wise. Anyone here actually play this game and can give some tips to not die so much?

the combat seems varied? Everything I have heard on Knack suggests that you have the same 3 button combo and a jumping attack through the course of the whole game.

Truly subjective critique. To me, that's a great score. But I can see why it might not be everybody's thing.

Two guys? Eh! Not really my cup of tea. If we're talkin' girls, we might be in business.

Dodge will be your lifesaver. If you can master the juke and punch, it's a pretty satisfying experience.

Knack Souls.

@kaos_cracker: you've got to get fairly decent at using the dodge. Also don't be afraid to charge in with the dodge-forward and lead off into your combo swings.

the enemies keep switching up throughout the game so you'll always being figuring out new attacks to deal with. I recommend dodging for most of them over the head-bop jump thing. Some of the bigger enemies counter that move with strong attacks.

I'm sure you've seen the larger enemies have some serious 1 or 2 shot kills. They usually have about 2-3 attacks and they telegraph the attack with a windup animation. just learn the anims and counter with a dodge, head smack, or charge.

@korwin: Did that actually become a widespread thing, or was it just the one guy on this forum who said it?

Not sure... probably not otherwise neogaf would have had a field day with it.
