PlayStation PLUS games are available all month long, so as soon as Sony releases them (which they should have done by now), they will be up for the remainder of the month. In the meantime, if you want to read our thoughts on Knack, you can find those here. Unfortunately, it only earned a 2 out of 5 both overall and for Co-Op specifically.

When you launch a console you want a good variety of games to launch with it. You need something for the hardcore shooter audience. You need a racing game, an arcade game, and of course the sports games. With these all covered there's a big market you want to hook, and that's the family gaming market. Knack is Sony's intended answer to ...

A new trailer released by Sony shows handfuls of gameplay taken straight from Knack's unique co-op mode, all in full HD glory. Previously we only saw quick snatches from shaky cams that included Knack's remote play support using a PS4 and PS Vita. Now, we get to see how pretty this game is with a friend! Watch through to the end to see a quick smacking bout between the Knacks. Good to know co-op doesn't have to be 100% friendly.

The first video, a four minute long Fresh Look by IGN, shows some quick snaps of co-op play surrounded by some pleasantly positive impressions about the game as a whole. The second video (below) is a shorter capture showing remote play with PS Vita. The portable device functions as a second screen, much like you'd expect, showing player two's point of view independent of the main game.

According to its developer, Knack gives more than a subtle nod to classic platform games like Jak and Daxter and Crash Bandicoot. Nothing wrong with that, in our opinion! Keeping everything easy to learn has been a high priority for the team, and from that grew a size-changing robotic protagonist who can absorb relics and elements. Oh, and there are other characters in the story. They can't change size or do anything robot-cool, but they're important, we suppose:

Currently available to pre-order on the PS Store in North America and Europe, Knack and Warframe are two PS4 launch titles with healthy co-op modes that allow you to show off your shiny new system. Japan Studios' Knack is an action adventure game starring the robot Knack in all his parts-filled gloriousness. Co-op is limited to two players locally, allowing one player to control Knack while the other controls a special silver version of Knack. Silver Knack supports Gold Knack by picking up parts from the battlefield and donating them to keep Knack's health topped up, making it an ideal situation for pairs of people where one isn't so video game savvy.

The two minute trailer shows a few quick snatches of the game in action interspersed with dramatic music and characters yelling at each other in Japanese. Knack struts his size-changing parts-becoming-a-whole self in battle, and it looks like some extremely large bad guys are waiting in the wings. The graphics and physics in Knack look gorgeous, something the shaky cam videos from Gamescom 2013 haven't been able to showcase that well.

Knack's co-op gameplay announced back at Gamescom finally has some screens. Knack Creator and PS4 system architect Marc Cerny says he designed a second playable character to help kids learn the game by playing with their parents. The second character has a uniquely robotic look to him and can assist in combat and solving puz...

Only available locally, Knack will support 2-player shared-screen play. Player 1 will be playing protagonist Knack as normal in the game's story while Player 2 will be playing a special silver version of Knack. Silver Knack is designed to support Knack in combat and by picking up parts (which allows both versions of Knack to grow). When Knack gets damaged, he will begin to shrink; however, Silver Knack can donate his parts to Knack to "heal" him.
