its nothing like the arkham games
KNACK IS THE GAME OF THE YEAR BABY
Dunkey would agree with the title
Dunkey has a shit taste in games, he also thinks that all 3D Sonic games suck while I'm sure he never played all of them.
Come the fuck on, I played Knack and it's just so shitty that it should have never been made.
Cybernik The Robot
People watch himm for his content, entertainment and sometimes opinion but if you don't like him thats fine. No need to make a big deal about it ^^
he doesn't really like Knack you know that?
KNACK 2 BABY!
It's probably the best game ever made.
KNACK IS A KNACLSTERPIECE
A Guy stop
I think you meant "knacksterpeice"
A Guy i think you meant "Snacksterpieces"
I’ve never played the first game but Knack 2 is a Knacksterpeice and I played it four times
“KNACK ||| DA FUTURE BAYBEE!!”
That Eroico joke was pretty good, and the reward for death is also pretty good.
yeah + it's actually a good game?
The Flower monster from that game is such a cutie.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ah, I just finished some… research… ye
Man I’ve always loved knack and I’m so glad to see someone pointing out all the things I’ve loved about it, while also pointing out the actual flaws
It's not a "Masterpiece"... It's a MASTAHPEECE!

Abdulla Al-Attiya then I give my most senserest apology, i was using a usb steaming wheal
I remember much younger and this is one of the first games I got. I was so young at the time I thought this game was a complete masterpiece, and its oddly enough one of the things that made me start gaming a lot more. Nowadays I definitely see all its flaws and how bad the storyline was, but it is still pretty fun to replay. Game is not good, but I partially owe it credit for getting me into games a lot, so I can't really knock it to hard.
Same bro, this series was the best
0:00 I came here for entertainment, not learning
TheWebCon ITS SATURDAY. I DONT WANT TO LEARN
To bad
Me and my bro just beat it earlier today since it was free last month on Playstation. I gotta say I honestly really enjoyed it. Deciding to put it on Hard Mode during the 1st playthrough probably wasn't the best idea but we managed. I'm really thinking about buying Knack 2 now lol
YoBoyAdrian buy knack two it’s even better
BUY IT IT’S A KNACKSTERPIECE

Gamechamp : knack one of the greatest gaming accomplishments of man kind
Me: damn straight
Did I ever tell you about the time my wife died
Jude The Duck no, pls tell us
Jude The Duck Whoops
I'm sorry but now I'm depressed just y
Wow I quoted the last video and got top comment RUclips comments 2018 everybody
I am already aware
I C E I S N N I C E
Of course Knack doesn't suck! It's the greatest thing ever made! 10/5
Doesn't seem as bad as I expected based on what I heard, but being bad to replay is a big glaring flaw especially when The Wonderful 101 came out the same year with better execution of so many of the nicer stuff here (it is nice though) and Crash Bandicoot had decent replay value as well.
This was mentioned in the video :)
Based on what you heared.
Good thing that i don't heared anything of the Game before played it.
I had so much Fun with Knack I and then they released Knack II and made it even so much better!
Actually it is quite replayable, as it features unlockable knack forms and extra modes.
I always liked knack, unironically. Most people didn't even give it a chance
We don’t ironically like knack it’s just a 10/5 AND THATS FOR THE GRAPHICS ALONE KNACK 3 2022 BAYBEER
I got Knack as a launch game with the PS4 and I finished it the next morning, and I enjoyed it the whole time.
I am playing through the game now and could not agree more with your assessment! The power ups in particular feel like classic beat-em-ups wave clears but in the modern era. Nothing like smashing the ground and killing everything in sight after saving up enough energy.
I completely agree and i loved this game. I'm liking Knack 2 more, but the first is still really good.
UH OH HERE COMES THE MONEYYYYY
I’m glad this exists. Someone who doesn’t hate knack.
I love how you acknowledge the existence of Neopets: The Darkest Faerie
Hope you hit 100k subs good luck
Just thank for this video, seriously thank you.
Knack Baby!! oh my god!! knack is so back 💰💰💰
1:59 I had to stop since i was laughing my @ss off,thanks to my dirty secrets.I see you're a gamer of culture as well!
I just love it when games make you use the environment to your advantage... like in monster hunter using ledges and it make sense where you fight
It looks like a really cool game, I’ve always wanted to get it.
I would recommend it
1:23 LOOK SHREK!
HEY NOW, YOUR AN KNACK STAR GET UR GAME ON GET KNACK ALL THE SHOOTING KNACKS GET ALL U BAC TO PLAYING IT!
A video about knack and its greatness, amazing, i still have my copy and beat the game multiple times, it still never gets old personally
Great analysis and end reference
Remember we need the next gen human idle animation
I agree with you
It's not a masterpiece but it has some creative elements
Colin Schwartz WHAT IT’S NOT A MASTERPIECE BUT A KNACKSTERPIECE
Ngl knack has always been one of my favourite games and I'd love to see you do a challenge run of it
Love your work
I did beat it resently and i love it. Will definitly try to get the Platinum Trophy, even if this means, beating it 4 times ^^
And yes, even on normal it did feel hard, but at the same time, it teaches you really well to get good in the Game. After beating it, playing the (time) challenges, feels like natural automatic dodging everything. I heared that on higher difficulty the enemies don't just do more dmg, but also getting more agressive. Can't wait to see this!^^
KNACK IS BACK
Me: thinks there is just 1 knack game
Gamechamp3000: "there is another"
I played a short preview of Knack in my local game retailer and immediately wanted a PS4 so I could play it. My family later got one and to this day, it is still on a shelf with all of the other games I have and still am playing
[insert unoriginal ironic praise here]
KNACK IS BACK BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10/5 a knacksterpeice
“KNACK ||| DA FUTURE BAYBEE!!”
What game at 1:59
And why did he react like that
Orange Ender Wizard
IS IT HENTAI
It resident evil 4
It is a H game with fantastic design and sprite work. Worth checking out.
thelastgogeta Wait, so you’re telling me that the developers not only made a great game, but made it better by throwing porn on top?
I am 100% on board.
thelastgogeta It's also really hard though. I got through legitimately once, but then I found the save files. They're in a text format.
reviews: knack is a platformer.
gamechamp:NANI?!
Btw when you hit right after dodge, your attack’s range gets longer and this is really useful for harder modes
KNACK 2 BABY
Here's an idea for a video in the same spirit as the myth videos for Mario Odyssey and BotW
Can you try making everyone happy in the 3 day cycle of Majora's Mask
It isn't possible, because making everybody happy includes all 4 dungeons, the wedding quest, the Romania quests, and a bunch of smaller stuff around every area, id be impressed if he could even do a fourth of the stuff you can do in this game within the 3 day cycle
Well at the end of the game each boss can be challenged upon entering the dungeon. Which only leaves only the fairies, the wedding which can be done gradually and Romani isn't that long.
No, you have to go through the dungeon to get all the fairies, he couldn't even do half the sidequests in the same day.
Okay what if we ignored the fairies?
Mudkip971 you can't, that would mean you aren't making everyone happy
lets not forget that the "Monster" knack turns into a bunch of lego's even when big when he steps on a twig in very hard.
I would love to see a video for knack 2 as well eventually
This game is Knack. Just a fact.
Knack is a very good game. Not the best. But a very stable, good game with fun mechanics and physics and a suprisingly serious story. The topic, of humans trying to always get bigger and bigger by using limited ressources and dangering their environment, reminds me of todays society and its great problems. It gives serious questions and many different characters, that I really wanted to know more about. Especially Knack and his Origin. I' m only happy that there is a Knack 2. And hopefully other sequels will follow. Thank u for the fair review Gamechamp ! Best Regards!
Agreed! Now we need Knack 3!
YEEEAHH BABEEE 100/10 KNACKSTERPIECE
You’ve now convinced me to get the game
I played this game around when the ps4 first came out, it felt like a fever dream though and I remember nothing but playing it with my brother
Knack sales went up 200% since the release of this video. Not including the original 1 bought from Gamechamp to make this video 1 other person bought it
4:24
"...every battle felt the same. That is was a mindless slog beating up *the same enemies* over and over."
...And Doom gets a free pass on few enemy types?
EDIT: Clarification in the replies. It's also important to note that I actually haven't played either.
You do not compare doom to knack
It is law
Metabloxer they do have different enemy types tho each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and strategies
@@aidanmackniskas4524 So does Knack, as you grow your strategies change, enemies have different things as you go on, etc. They both have strengths, weaknesses and strategy
The point was that having few enemy types isn't a problem if the enemies are diverse enough and you mix up their arrangement, count, and arena, which both Doom and Knack II do.
One of these days I'll a knack video with no dunksters and finally unleash KNACK 2 BAYBEEEEEE MASTAPEECE
I quite enjoyed Knack when it first came out. I also want to play part 2.
it really was a knacksterpiece
2:00
~Oh my~
Do go on about this *"Arrow"*
It’s called eroico, and it’s a hentai game.
@@cardboardhawks6783 oh
@@cardboardhawks6783 in the game you can stun yourself to get fucke$
We're almost at 100K that was fast!
HERE COMES THE MONEY KNACK IS BACK BAYBEE
I've been playing knack it's actually not that bad
I glad to see someone else who actually likes knack instead of just repeating the same dunky meme
I agree though the chests dont bother me much, I see the chests as a way to further explore the maps in each playthrough and see those that you didnt collect on your last run
Knack is so much fun to play i actually replay it, not just to grind the collectibles but just, well, play through the game again
I’ll admit eroico is good too
First, knack no suck, second, what's the least amount of times you have to throw Cappy in super Mario odyssey to beat the last kingdom?
Kitten in A bag
Technically, none. 2 player mode.
SuperUltraHyperBlaze -_-
Kitten in A bag in 1 player, I think 24 or so.
The official gamechamp dartboard score of Knack II / Super Mario Bros 2.
Did you just mention a H game before scrapping and saying "how did that get here" (the game is called Eroico and its a hentai game)
but is hard
Is it bad that I know that ero game
A sign of good taste or playing so many you got to play a real highlight.
It's perfectly fine
Collecting the relics is the most satisfying thing ever
Knack is back!
Love this game I played through the first and this one twice (quality game) and like or comment if u like it to
"Or in Ero-HOWDIDTHATGETINTHEREEEEEEEE" WE KNOW NOW, GAMECHAMP! WE KNOW. Also, I think I disagree somewhat. Is Megaman not a platformer because each map screen with platforming has enemies you have to face in combat on different elevations? It's still a platformer. This is what I'd argue that Cerny means with "A platformer that de-emphasizes jumping", or, in short, a minimalist platformer that doesn't utilize platforming elements much; this is what causes the other elements to come to the fore more, such that it comes across far more as something akin to God of War than Crash Bandicoot.
Kain Yusanagi Megaman is a PLATFORMER because you PLATFORM. There are PLATFORMS that you PLATFORM on. KNACK is a BEAT EM' UP because you BEAT EM' (EM' referring to the enemies) UP. I feel there is a big difference that you can't see.
Kain Yusanagi what game was that when he said how did that get in there?
Eroico
Jude The Duck, it still has platforming. It just minimalizes the platforming elements, as Cerny noted. Just as Megaman is a shooter platformer, or Contra is a shooter platformer. Contra doesn't do the platforming as much as Megaman, but it does it much more than Knack does. This is why Cerny calls it a minimalist platformer, even though there are better catagories for it to be primarily noted under, which is what I was saying in my original post, which if you are paying attention, agreed with Gamechamp that it's more akin to God of War than to Crash Bandicoot.
I would consider the game to be the genre that it most resembles. Knack's platforming elements are very minor, and its beat-em-up elements very pronounced. Therefore: beat-em-up with platforming elements.
"Oops" xD
the ink and goop strategies i used were the same because i basicly allways was on fire
What is “arrow”?
Anyone?
bibbaTM You’d be better not knowing
It’s called erico
He said ero, which is the first three letters in the name of a game called eroico
Hentia game called eroica
Someone who speaks truth of the sad game
1:58 ah i see great minds think alike
Katamari: the beat em up
I absolutely agree! I only ever got frustrated with the game when I was being stupid with how I went about doing things.
Get ready for the annoying Knack 2 jokes!
Serkel KNACK 2!!!!
I'm sorry I had to.
I thought this episode was just gonna be a big Dunkey joke but it was actually a legit video with real points
0:53, You take that back.
I'd say this game is a 10/5 and thats just for the graphics alone.
I loved when Knack said “It’s Knackin’ time” and Knacked all over the enemies. Truly a 10/5 mastahpiece worthu of goty
did he just make a reference to d..... no he couldn't have
One thing I love about knack is this one line:
Knack:Ice is nice
I'm glad you enjoyed this game and your excitement really is infectious but I do disagree with a few point. Specifically with this game be akin to brawllers, brawllers are fun because you have varied moves and combos that one can pull off while exploring cool new environments and getting new abilities and items ( ex: God of War, Devil May Cry, ect ). With knack the problem is less repetitive enemies as it is the feeling of never getting strong. Even as big Knack where you throw tanks you can still be killed in 1 or 2 hits and still only have 3 punches and your special crystal moves. However I will give it another try with the perspective you have presented and see if I come away with a new opinion.
Thank you for a fair review. I believe many biggest game reviewers didn't even play the game just said it's no good. I think game is great. Played it on normal mode. Challenging but not frustrating. easy button bashing where many many times you'll get it wrong and will laugh when dying. What saves the game is starting points on every level where you start again after dying. If you die most times you don't have to go through the whole level - you die and start nearby the enemies what killed you. I call it learning experience. Levels are great in variety, enemies are many and very different - game kept pleasantly surprising me. Yes the story is shallow, but it's easy, made with a humour. Well spent all day playing till I finished the game. After the game could not put down Arena mode what is fun. You have to think which collectibles to collect from hidden rooms to make the game easier.
I don’t understand why you ONLY have 97k subs. You SHOULD have 100,000,000,000,000
what do you mean when you rate the game knack out of smb2?
is it it was better
is it was almost as good
or as good
Why are you calling Knack Little Mac
The Gaming Kirby he said little knack
because knack is secretly little mac.
"What other game makes you smile even when you fail at it?"
Um... Crash Bandicoot?

“KNACK ||| DA FUTURE BAYBEE!!”
you should try "Altf4" on steam, The best hardest game that makes you not getting rage easily
I had a bunch of fun playing knack and knack 2
at one point knack was my favourite game. it has since lost that title but i do agree with the smooth transition into sizes but i love it when medium sized knack goes into 5 STORY KNACK
I'm sorry, but most of the things you said are positive are in my opinion the bare essentials of competent design for a beat em up game. I think the consensus for Knack is that it's just aggressively average, and while I respect the fact you enjoyed it, I see nothing in this review that makes me think this game does much of anything that I haven't seen done before in a better game. Add to that it looks absolutely devoid of any charm, interesting environments, visual flair, interesting characters, engaging story or memorable set pieces, I'm still going to pass.
