Five next-gen console games to look forward to
Knack | PS4
Knack is published by Sony and was made in cooperation with legendary game designer Mark Cerny. The plot is based on a war between mankind and Goblins. Knack is a peculiar creature with mysterious powers – and he’s on the humans’ side. It’s an action platform extravaganza.
