Knack 2 ending stretches out with multiple boss battles

We all make mistakes. What matters is what you do next. That’s a quote from Knack 2, the new action platformer from Sony for the PlayStation 4. I made a mistake with Cuphead, of course, and I moved on to Knack 2 and finished playing the game yesterday. It wasn’t a bad way to spend my time, as I needed some good old-fashioned gameplay to bone up on my much-maligned skills. Playing a game is always a redemptive activity when you’ve got to move on from a mistake, like I had with Cuphead.
