Just like Killzone Shadow Fall, Knack also runs with an unlocked frame - rate, the difference being that the frame - pacing causes real issues, resulting in genuinely problematic on -

juddering orbs.
There the otherwise smooth
screen transitions become clunky, with an unwanted amount of
juddering.
