Knack 2 Reviews: 11 Critical Reactions You Need To Know

2. There's A Surprising Amount Of Content

"The game will take players roughly 14 or so hours to complete and once that’s done New Game + mode is unlocked – which allows players to replay their game keeping all the upgrades they earned in their first play through – and the Time and Coliseum challenges open up too. A co-op mode rounds out the package." - Gamesradar

"It is fun though, and there’s a fair bit of content here. You’re looking at around 12 hours from start to finish to play through the story, which then unlocks New Game+, as well as a time attack mode that offers a host of bespoke challenges, and the ability to re-do any level to finish off sub-missions. I can definitely see the appeal of continuing on – I had a few more perks to unlock at the end of the story, and I was really enjoying having a full suite of combat abilities at my claw-tips." - IGN

The original Knack was a surprisingly long game in its own right, clocking in at around 8-10 hours, and the sequel one-ups it by running even longer.

Estimates for Knack 2's campaign stretch from 10-14 hours, an unexpectedly beefy length for a platformer, especially one being released at a lower price point.

In addition, the game includes a new game + and challenge modes, ensuring that this is one of the more content-rich platformers of late.
