Hey there everyone, and welcome to the second part of my Knack playthrough. So to explain why I’m playing this game (I’ve just noticed I always explain why I choose a game, why do I do that?), hours before starting this stream I got a notification that my PlayStation 5 was due to arrive the next day and although I didn’t fully trust it, the knowledge that the console came with a built in game designed to show off it’s controller (Astro’s Playroom) made me think of Knack, the game developed to show off the PS4’s particle physics processing, the big thing Sony were advertising. So I decided to play it, start the new generation by playing the very first game of the previous generation, because that’s how we roll here at TonyKM Towers.
In this second part of my playthrough I pick back up after having been double-crossed by Viktor (gasp I never saw that coming) and trying to rescue Lucas and Vargas. We sneak our way through and eventually reunite with Ryder, making our way back to civilisation in the town of Monte Verde to decide what the group will do next. Onwards to go see the Goblins!
Until next time…buh-bye!
