Knack 2
Best PS4 Games for Kids From 2017
The original Knack wasn’t the best launch title for the PS4 back in 2013, and while Knack 2 is still far from perfect, it’s an enjoyable adventure game that certainly shows what the system is capable of doing graphically.
Taking place a few years after its predecessor, players will have the save the city of NewHaven from a huge robot army. You’ll once again be in control of Knack, a creature made up of particles who can both shrink down to just a few inches and grow to become a towering powerhouse. It’s Knack’s size-changing ability that becomes the crux of the gameplay in Knack 2, with players needing to shrink down to navigate obstacles or other environmental puzzles, and grow in order to take on all of the robot enemies that come your way. It’s fairly simple and straightforward, but should be challenging enough for most kids.
What’s more, the entire campaign is once again in co-op, meaning two kids can play through together at once, or you can give them a helping hand if they get stuck. Oh, and just like the first game, Knack 2 pushes the PS4 to its limits graphically thanks to all the particle effects on display. You’ll literally see every bit of Knack come together or fall to the ground every time he grows in size or shrinks down. For a classic kids adventure game, Knack 2 is a solid choice.
