PS4 platformer Knack is a fun adventure that fails to think big (review)

Oh, Knack. I want to love you so much more than you’re letting me.

Amid all the other PlayStation 4 launch titles, Knack has oddly been one that Sony has pushed to the forefront. It’s been a while since the publisher last tried the whimsical, mascot-driven action platformer as a console launch title, something we haven’t seen since Crash Bandicoot was taken out behind the barn.
