Knack II refines the original's action-platforming formula with a greater emphasis on player freedom. The ability to freely swap between different sizes and forms of Knack, along with a more robust combat system, allows for varied approaches to encounters. Its satisfying, if simple, gameplay loop of smashing enemies and collecting relics to grow larger provides a compelling, accessible experience that's easy to pick up and play.
