Tunic absolutely does have tons of knowledge based progression. You can skip through massive chunks of the game simply because you have knowledge the game withheld from you. As you collect manual pages throughout the game you learn new mechanics that have always been there from the start, you simply didn’t know how to access them. A big example of this is accessing the hub, which is a massive game changing discovery halfway through the game that you can access in the first 60 seconds.
Lots of knowledge-based progression, sure, but not “render the gameplay redundant” levels of knowledge-based progression. Still, I retract my statement that it shouldn’t be on the list.
