Judging by the amount of Knack 2 posts I've seen in Splatoon 2, I think it isn't just here.

Before Bloodborne, Knack 1 was the most Souls-like game on the PS4. It is extremely difficult at normal or higher and requires tight timing in combat, smart positioning, and judicious use of dodging.

Knack 2, which Mark Cerny has said was inspired by Fist of the North Star, adds a skill tree for combat abilities including throws and the ability to parry ranged attacks

What I dont get CharlieFoxTrot is that you'll completely ignore anyone that challenges your statements or corrects you or says anything negative about something you've enjoyed but someone posts about Knack and within the hour you are there playing up the meme? Every single time. C'mon mate.

Only SEGA can harness the awesome power of blast processing, so the game will crash on launch.

There's a video on Nintendo 's game design approach, where everything including the games aesthetic is built around the core gameplay mechanic (ie splatoon, where the entire squids and graffiti theme was developed to fit the gameplay of shooting ink on surfaces). Ever since I saw it I've felt that knack would have been a lot better if he'd been a little house man that absorbed bricks to grow bigger, instead of being a pebble goblin. I'd play a puzzle platformer about a house golem! There's loads of fun mechanics you could build from that premise.

For me it's just that Knack looks so unexciting. Knack is just a jumble of geometric shapes running in weirdly realistic yet plastic-looking environments and it just doesn't look aesthetically inspired or fun at all.

i want to say not too, too long ago (probably 2015ish?) the duo of brothers who made plok tried to relaunch him as a webcomic character, i assume that project was extremely successful

The dish is bibimbap - in this case an egg, some beef and a lot of veg over a bed of rice.

I'm not sure you can have a late breakfast if a big loving basket of french fries is involved. I think you'll just have two lunches today.

Bibimbap is real tasty. There'a Korean restaurant by me that serves it hot in the big stone pot, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
