The wait is over, KNACK IS BACK Y'ALL! Bigger, stronger and more suave than PlayStation's former puny mascot Nathaniel Drake.

Let's get some things straight first. Knack has been putting in some work between Knack 1 and the aforementioned Knack 2, alright? No longer does his combat répertoire consist of three punches and a kick. Knack 2 has a skill tree system, baby! You'll be upgrading his arsenal of punches, kicks and super attacks throughout the game. There's even a proper Co-op mode this time around, where you and your child or manchild-friend can pull of sick Co-op moves Hokuto no Ken-style. Cerny also graced us with more platforming in Knack 2, so that you can put your hand-eye coordination to the test and frustrate your Co-op partner even more by pushing them off platforms and down gaps.

This is a Knack game like you've never seen before! Trust me, I've played the demo.

Having really liked the first game, I wonder how fun the game will be solo. It seems much more co-op centric than the last one.

A major gripe with the first game for me was, that the ending was very unsatisfying. It built up some sort of finale, then fizzled out.

Spoiler

After unlocking the secret chamber, you meet that mysterious powerful entity. But you only run around it, keeping your distance, avoid getting killed, then take the express lift back to the surface. There, you just return to your friends, having neither achieved nor learned anything whatsoever, and they all celebrate, game over. WTF?

So, I'd like to know without spoilers if this game has a more fulfilling conclusion.

Hey Cerny what ya doin' down there
Dancin' alone every night while I play videogames right above you
I can hear your music playin'
I can feel your body swayin'
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
Oh my Cerny
Knack three times on the ceiling if your sequel's improved
Twice on the pipe if the meta is low
Oh my sweetness
*knackknackknack*
Means you'll meet me at the GOTY awards
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
