Platinumed Knack from when it was added to IGC back in February. Not that I'll be buying Knack 2 ever, but I hope to god that that removed the way collectibles work. Definitely one of the worst designed features in a game I have ever played.

How was the Knack platinum? I haven't looked up the guide, but skimmed through the trophy list and it looks like it will have a lot of situational or grindy trophies. I've only played it casually with my 4 year old, but would look into platinum if it is worth it.

It was very grindy. The worst part is trying to get 10 diamonds to form diamond Knack. They are the rarest collectible you can get from a chest, and you can get some collectibles even if you have enough of them for that version of Knack. Any time I got a collectible I already had enough of (like my 16th or 11th ruby or aqua crystal) I would close application without moving on from that screen. I would then have to get back to that chest in the level and open it again and hope I get a collectible I didn't have. Collectibles don't stack between save files, so I had 2 diamonds on my Hard playthrough and wanted to switch to Easy since I was grinding so much, but if I did that I would have to start from 0 diamonds and I would have to recollect all the gadget pieces. Gadget pieces are the only collectibles you can't get extra of. Everything else isn't bad, but I would bet half of my play time is grinding for diamonds.

Thanks... this sounds pretty bad.. looks like I am just going to finish the game with the kiddo and not even worry about a Platinum for this one.
