Knack II

Game: Knack II (PS4, 2017)

An experimental unofficial port of the PlayStation 4 version for Windows, with Vulkan graphics, its own launcher, and local two-player co-op. The project owner reports that it is playable from beginning to end, but the README states that the automated tests and hands-on checks do not certify the full campaign or all hardware, and that graphical defects, Vulkan device loss, and crashes may occur. It offers QHD and 4K internal resolutions; ultrawide is experimental and cutscenes show blue areas at the sides. The README’s download link is 0.17.5; the most recent version, 0.17.7-rc5 (October 29), is a release candidate. 37 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
