    So I finished this game today and I have the same mediocre feelings many have it For some reason I can't put my finger on what really bothers me about this game though. It being simple doesn't bother me, simple games are fine. It being linear isn't a problem with me either. Knack doesn't have much in the way of platforming or exploration, it's really just combat. So this game really boils down to a character action game, and I love me a character action game. It's just something about the combat in this game is sorta irritating. Like the controls are slippery or the hit detection isn't quite there.

    If you didn't like this game, can you describe what it is about it that falls apart?

    They didn't take the troll - human love story all the way. Major bummer.

    Is loving a Troll considered beastiality?

    I liked it a fair bit somehow, but my criticism is that some sections just went on too long. And the combat was ok but could've been a quarter-second tighter in some spaces. I also wish there was an attack like Crash Bandicoot's spin, where you could attack while still moving without any stops.

    Knack became a little to monotonous with it's combat for me to finish it. I liked in the context of a console launch, but it doesn't hold up much past that for me personally.

    A game like this is only as good as it's mascot and god damn is Knack lame. His voice and personality seem about as interesting as your average state senator.

    Pure mediocrity is a perfect way to describe this game. In fact, I recently composed all of my thoughts on the game in one convenient place. I didn't hate the game (not until the last few levels at least), but it is lacking in many ways. I think it really is devoid of any real personality most of all.
