Knack – PlayStation 4

Knack:

is a colorful action-platformer developed by Japan Studio and directed by Mark Cerny, released as a launch title for the PS4 in 2013. In the game, players control Knack, a mysterious creature made of ancient relics. Knack has the unique ability to grow and shrink by absorbing more relics, which changes his size, strength, and abilities. This allows players to adapt to various challenges — from tight platforming sections to large-scale battles against goblins, robots, and other enemies. The story is set in a world where relics from a lost civilization power technology. When a goblin army threatens humanity, Knack is created by a scientist to help fight back. As the plot unfolds, Knack uncovers secrets about the relics, the war, and himself. Gameplay focuses on combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration, with a fixed third-person camera view. Knack can perform punches, jump attacks, and use special powers depending on the materials he’s absorbed — like ice, metal, or crystal.
