    Great game, lots of fun and a good old South Park story.

    WAY too short but I grabbed it for 20 bucks on a steam sale, so worth my 16 hours. Not worth the full price tag, even though regular price has been lowered since launch.

    As a game it stands as a solid but very casual RPG. Instead of stripping all semblance of RPG out like modern games have done, Stick of Truth instead opts to simplify them and make them approachable. It is clear that Stick of Truth is no Baldur's Gate, but it never tries to be, sticking more closely to a the spirit of the kids' game: make believe kingdoms of humans and elves.

    Definitely a must for South Park fans, and certainly not a bad game for weekend dungeon heroes who enjoy casual RPG experiences.

    A very enjoyable game. It has pretty good mechanics and is a standard RPG game. You really do need to be a fan of the tv series to enjoy it all and if you are this is definitely worth playing. Not great replay value but good fun.

    Stick of Truth isn't just one of the best video games adaptation I've played. Its not even the best RPG. It is one of the best games I've played.

Stick of Truth takes some of the best ideas of its genre such as the time hits and single partner battle system of the "Paper Mario" series, status effects that matter and should be used to get an edge of the enemy but also ideas I don't see often, such as puzzles made to thin out the enemy before you fight them.

    Even if this wasn't a South Park game, any RPG fan would recommend this game base on its gameplay alone, but because it's a South Park game I can assure you that the typical humor is still here. Not just reference to the show (even those references are sometimes refreshed with a twist on them), but the game pokes fun of RPGs and games in general, while still fitting in shock and toilet humor that would probably leave you unconformable if it wasn't so brilliantly pulled off.

    Some of the best humor however is when it mixes itself so well into the gameplay. Some of it is seeing how the kids imagination translate to their special moves and how these kids can defeat their foes despite just being kids, but also some of the cut scenes. There are some particular scenes that make fun of skipping cut scenes such as encouraging you to skip some scenes where a character to babbling or stopping you from skipping a scene in which even all the characters don't want to hear some contrived backstory. These are especially funny because they involve the player into the jokes.

    If you're a gamer, play this game. Its a must own.    … Expand

I am left with that "I've just experienced something special" feeling that I'm rarely left with after finishing a game. I have to say the last few hours of the game were some of the most enjoyable I've ever experienced, they really turned it up to 11 towards the end.

    If you're a fan of South Park you know the type of humour to expect and The Stick of Truth is South Park at its absolute best, the writing is huge reason as to why it's so amazing. I have never laughed so much while playing a game, every time you thought it couldn't get funnier or more ludicrous it did, some of the stuff they have you do is beyond offensive and I absolutely loved every minute of it. Looking past what you'd expect from a South Park there's also a decent turn based RPG underneath, the combat felt great if not a little unbalanced and easy (I highly suggest playing on hardcore) but there were some really tough fights a long the way, surprisingly not the last one which I one shot, though. Overall the gameplay was solid and didn't hurt the game whatsoever but it could definitely be improved upon for the sequel. I honestly think even if you've never watched South Park you can fully enjoy this game, assuming you have a good sense of humour and aren't offended easily (or at all in some cases).

    Whether you're a South Park fan or not I highly recommend this game as it's an absolute blast to play that will have you howling like a loon every 10 minutes!    … Expand

    First thing I'm going to say about this game is that if you don't like Southpark, you are probably not going to like this game. It's going to feel like a run of the mill RPG. If you do like Southpark then this game is a friggin GEM! I don't want to spoil a single thing so all I can say really is that this game IS Southpark.

    You shouldn't see this game as a serious RPG. I would call the genre "RPG satire"! The game makes fun of everything that has to do with role-playing, well, and a few other things, like alien abductions. The game is very entertaining, but never hard or challenging.

My main complaint is the lack of replay value. The lack of differences between the classes doesn't promote more than one or two playthroughs. All three classes can equip the same weapons and armor so variations of gameplay are minuscule and nearly non-existent.

    A triumph.
    Although I am a South Park fan, I didn't really look forward to play an actual computer game based on it. So I never bought it, until a friend gave it to me as a gift last week.
    How wrong was I.... This game is as funny as the best moments of South Park but without recycling the TV show's jokes. The reason it really stands out is because it manages to be hilarious by placing    A triumph.

    How wrong was I....
    This game is as funny as the best moments of South Park but without recycling the TV show's jokes. The reason it really stands out is because it manages to be hilarious by placing you next to the kids of South Park. Suddenly, the whole place comes alive! Every piece of dialogue, every action, every mission is very funny, and not in a TV way, but in a PC game way.
    South Park was developed by Oblivion, a company that knows how to make great RPGs, while the dialogues and script were written by the famous duo behind the series.
    As a result, the game is primarily story driven, and more entertainment than challenge. The missions are hilarious and not at all repetitive, and the overall experience will blow your mind. But this is exactly the point: you play this game to laugh.
    The absolute highlight of the game is the trip to Canada, where the humor reaches Monty Pyhtonesque heights.
    There has been a lot of criticism regarding the repetitive and somewhat boring fighting in the game. I disagree. It is hilarious, and although some animations are long and after some viewings, they may end up being boring, there are enough companions to the main character to break the monotony. However, if you really are looking forward to exceptional RPG turn-based fighting, do yourself and play Pillars of Eternity (also by Oblivion).
    This game has no flaws. It is a unique experience and if you like South Park, you must absolutely play it. I played it with a friend and we ended up staying up all night, laughing our guts out. I don't think I have ever laughed this much with another game. Smile yes, but actual laughter?
    Final note: you must like the show.    … Expand

    A Refreshing RPG
    In stick of Truth you play as the new kid,
    You get to customize this new kid in the beginning, and you’re tasked by your parents to go out and make new friends…
    You keep track of your new friends via Facebook…
    When you meet up with the neighborhood kids you find they’re in the middle of an elf vs human war, you start out on the human side and get to choose 1 of the varying classes, its then up to you to sabotage the elves and recruit new members for the kingdom
    Stick of Truth was a relaxing time but the gameplay for me was just a bit too repetitive..
    It didn’t take long for me to get bored with the combat...
    This is a turn based rpg where you take turns attacking enemies with potential elemental damage, and effects like bleeding, or gross out…
    with a bag on consumables for healing
    Nothing special…
    You have mana which is used for fart magic you unlock as your progress through the game, and power points for special moves…
    You also have 1 buddy with you when you battle…
    Buddies are unlocked with story progression and can be swapped in and out like Pokémon at any time...
    There’s a buddy for every ones playstyle or to balance your class out…
    So a lot of thought definitely went into balancing this game…
    You can also collect new weapons and armor in backpacks, or buy them at shops…
    This game pokes fun at the rpg genre throughout, which is the only thing I really found charming here…
    I personally found no humor during the combat nor really in the game even though they clearly tried really hard…
    Humor is subjective.. I find games like fat princess adventures to be hilarious while others may look at me strange for saying this… but bathroom humor just doesn’t quite tickle my funny bone, though the game did manage to get few laughs out of me... but not necisarily with the ridiculous things going on like giving an abortion to stans dad, or farting all over the place to progress through the levels.. But when the game would sarcastically make fun of itself... these were the best moments for me as someone not really a fan of the TV show…
    I feel like you need to be a fan to truly enjoy this and get the belly laughs I’ve heard so much about before playing...
    There’s so much fan service here…
    The entire town is mapped out and can be freely explored with tons of collectibles…
    You can do side quests... search the characters drawers for junk, to sell for some pocket change, collect frustratingly missable collectibles like chimpokomon
    It will keep fans of the show entertained for hours…
    The biggest mistake I feel this game makes though is the whole having to fart or use these different abilities to progress…
    It feels a little awkward switching through fart types, or shooting an object then switching to give commands…
    I could’ve done without this needless slowdown…
    Shooting arrows is fine for the collectible aspect or knocking things down in the environment, setting up traps to kill enemies before you get into a battle with them… but I feel like the shrinking, the anal probe thing, and buddy commands got in the way.
    While I didn’t get the laughs I expected, I can still appreciate this game for what it is though as a whole…
    A well balanced, but repetitive, rpg with a decent story to keep you moving forward..

    The game itself is what you would expect of South Park. The game feels as though you are seeing/playing an actual episode of the titular show. Your favorite characters are here including Cartman, Butters, Tweek, Jimmy, Craig, Kenny and more. You start by creating your very own character who is a bit of a blank slate. In true South Park fashion Cartman starts the mud slinging as soon as you give your character a name. Its from this moment that you nod your head knowingly that this is indeed South Park.

    You are on a quest to protect the stick of truth and keep it from the hands of the elves. Along the way you will meet meth addicts, aliens and more. Its hard to write a review without spoiling some of the great moments in the game that will put a smile on your face.

    Beneath its crass, crude and faithful exterior is a surprising amount of depth in the gameplay itself. You have magic, ranged and melee attacks and find various bits of gear to equip. You have abilities that use PP while others like your fart attacks use mana. The game makes clever use of allowing you to time a counter and block incoming damage. One of my favorite abilities is kicking enemies in the nuts to stun them. Completing sidequests can also net you some powerful summons that you can use as well.

    In the end Stick of Truth is not only one of the more faithful licensed games I have played. But it may just be one of the best licensed games I have played. If you are a fan of South Park you are sure to enjoy this adventure. Preorder the sequel and get this one for free.    … Expand

The characters you interact with are insanely loveable and I really felt like I was the new kid going on some adventure with the southpark kids. Matt and Trey really put a lot of time into developing the characters for the game as they include all of their "trademarks" and they occasionally will bring up past experiences from the episodes. Every little bit of the southpark town has been recreated to give you a quality RPG game, but its like its one long South Park episode. The dialogue and character interactions are second to none and you know the South Park creators really put a lot of time into detail and quality with their game.

The crude, dark, surreal and out right silly humor is ever present though out and nothing ever feels OC about the game. The plot is ridiculous but in a good way, its classic south park right until the end.

    I highly recommend this game to fans and even to people who have never watched the show (although you'll be missing out on a lot running jokes)

    I may have a bias opinion due to my long time love of South Park. However this game was amazing. Good game play, humour you would expect, great open world aspect. You can tell they put their time into a great game rather than just pumping out a game to earn them money. If you're looking for something to play, buy this game. One of the first games ive enjoyed enough to get the 100%.

    Ubisoft titles on PC do not have a good reputation. Because of that I approached this game with trepidation. I am glad to say that it doesn't require that god awful Uplay.

    The game itself is what you would expect of South Park. The game feels as though you are seeing/playing an actual episode of the titular show. Your favorite characters are here including Cartman, Butters, Tweek, Jimmy, Craig, Kenny and more. You start by creating your very own character who is a bit of a blank slate. In true South Park fashion Cartman starts the mud slinging as soon as you give your character a name. Its from this moment that you nod your head knowingly that this is indeed South Park.

    You are on a quest to protect the stick of truth and keep it from the hands of the elves. Along the way you will meet meth addicts, aliens and more. Its hard to write a review without spoiling some of the great moments in the game that will put a smile on your face.

    Beneath its crass, crude and faithful exterior is a surprising amount of depth in the gameplay itself. You have magic, ranged and melee attacks and find various bits of gear to equip. You have abilities that use PP while others like your fart attacks use mana. The game makes clever use of allowing you to time a counter and block incoming damage. One of my favorite abilities is kicking enemies in the nuts to stun them. Completing sidequests can also net you some powerful summons that you can use as well.

    In the end Stick of Truth is not only one of the more faithful licensed games I have played. But it may just be one of the best licensed games I have played. If you are a fan of South Park you are sure to enjoy this adventure. Preorder the sequel and get this one for free.    … Expand

The humor and art is the same, lots of gross-out, offensive, wacky and insane **** flies around in this game, which really brings to up to a hilarious and great status. The callbacks in items, enemies, characters, side-quests will be hilarious to fans and non-fans alike. This game appeals so much to both audiences as I'm sure people unfamiliar with the show will have some hilarious reactions. Scenarios you'll find yourself in the game are hilarious, but I'd hate to spoil them. Just think gingers, Mr. Slave, and sex. The game boasts with classic SP charm, as for the gameplay, and this is coming from someone who cares little for turned based RPGs, is standard, but fun. you have physical attacks, fart magic, special attacks for each class and your buddies (which have some amazing references like kicking the baby, Professor Chaos, and the ending to the 1999 movie). Some items will give you abilities and stat boosts as well. I wish the game's battles were a bit more involved, although everything works here and is pretty equal to traditional RPGs like Paper Mario and older Final Fantasy games. Exploring the town of SP and areas like the sewer and finding characters like Mr. Hankey, the ****ty Wok guy, and others, hearing songs from old episodes, again flexes the shows charm. My only real complaint is that the game could be longer, although I'm sure they wanted to save more the follow-up. (so much hype), as well as the terribly explained fart tutorials. They make sense after a while but the demonstrations early on are pretty atrociously said and might be frustrating to pull off. All in all, this game is worth it just for it being "South Park", although the gameplay is just fine. All in all, a hilarious and very fun game.… Expand

    Fantastic little game. A must play for South Park fans. The story is fun and interesting. Combat is engaging enough - I personally love strategic turn based combat. The gags and the jokes are ott as expected and are top notch. Why 8? Too short, a bit simplistic in terms of what one can do and towards the end not very challenging as my character was OP. Enjoy it.

    The Stick of Truth is an attempt at perfectly recreating the irreverent magic of the television show: it’s a side-scrolling turn-based RPG that looks and sounds identical to an episode of the show.

The game gives you the freedom to create a pretty damn good representation of    The Stick of Truth is an attempt at perfectly recreating the irreverent magic of the television show: it’s a side-scrolling turn-based RPG that looks and sounds identical to an episode of the show.

    In the Stick of Truth, you play the new kid in town, and as such, you get to craft your own South Park character. The game gives you the freedom to create a pretty damn good representation of yourself in the classic cardboard South Park style. Your character never speaks throughout the game, a point that actually aids immersion and becomes a running gag throughout the plot.

    As expected, you are quickly assimilated into the infamous gang of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. The plot largely concerns a small tree branch known as “The Stick of Truth”, which frequently changes hands between the fantasy-clad children of the video game.

    You’re quickly let loose to explore the entire town of South Park, Colorado, and the game’s strengths become immediately apparent. The recreation of the town is perfect, crammed with references to episodes and characters from the show. You can spend hours exploring the various houses, shops, and locations in the city, and there are plenty of secrets and gags that await you. Exploration is usually worth it, even aside from the clever humor: you’ll frequently find weapons and items to help you on your journey. The characters you pass around town will frequently say humorous things; the immersion is pretty high, overall.

    The game follows a fairly standard quest system. The main quest contains the bulk of the cutscenes and follows the plot of the game, but there are numerous side quests you’ll find throughout your journey. As every quest fits into the context of the preexisting South Park universe, it all feels very necessary to ensure a proper recreation of the show.

    The gameplay is a humorous rendition of a standard turn-based fantasy battle system. You utilize melee, ranged, mana-based (all which involved flatulence), and power-based attacks against your foes, and you fight most battles with a buddy (e.g. Butters, Cartman, Kyle) that can be swapped out before/after or during battle. Each buddy has a unique set of powers that you can freely trigger on their turn, and as each opponent will have a unique set of strengths/weaknesses, you will learn how to use each character effectively as you play. The make things even more interesting, many of the power-based attacks involve timed events that you need to execute well to maximize your damage. I rarely found myself getting bored of the streamlined yet engaging combat system, which honestly felt more satisfying than most turn-based RPGs I’ve played.

    The variety of powers (based on a standard character class you choose at the start of the game), weapons, armor, etc. you can unlock is pretty staggering. I can’t imagine that any two playthroughs would leave you with the same loadout. While you can only have so many copies of the same item, your inventory is otherwise infinite, a design choice that takes a lot of tedium out of the game. Once again, South Park: The Stick of Truth streamlines gameplay in every respect, and this makes the game move quickly and keeps things interesting.

    Besides turn-based battles, the game is chock full of gameplay twists. One quest is a humorously satisfying stealth endeavor. Another quest portrays the country of Canada (of course) as a top-down 8-bit Zelda-like adventure, and this is recreated flawlessly, guaranteed to generate some belly laughs. Many other quests take the nasty vulgarity of the TV show to its extreme, which is a bold statement to make for a game based on the controversial series.

    This leads me to confidently proclaim that South Park: The Stick of Truth lives up to the funniest, most intelligent, and best moments in South Park history. The game comes across like a 10-hour top-tier episode of South Park with barely a lull to be encountered. The cutscenes are indistinguishable from scenes from the television show, with the exception of seeing your character embedded in them. If you enjoy South Park at all, this will likely be one of the most humorous video games you will ever play, and you are forced to actively take part in some very graphically questionable moments (usually as quick time events). However, if you don’t enjoy the vile, hard-edged nature of South Park’s jokes, steer clear.

    Trying to come up with shortcomings in this game is extremely difficult. One obvious one is that it uses save checkpoints instead of allowing you to save whenever you’d like. This is a minor frustration, however, given how frequent most of the checkpoints are. Other than that, the game is South Park, through and through, and there are very few stand-out moments from the show that are missing here. Even aside from the franchise, the smart, streamlined gameplay elements and amount of exploration content make the game an extremely competent and enjoyable RPG.    … Expand

    [STARTING PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
    When going into this game, my hopes were not set as high as fans of the TV show would have had when this game first came out. This is because i tried to play it when it came out and got bored after about 3 hours into it. But i decided to try it again, and for some reason, i really enjoyed it this time.
    By the end of it i consider my time well spent playing this game, and got, what i in some ways feel, the experience of being in south park.]

    [MAIN REVIEW NOTES:
    The Level Design even the world design portrays the show perfectly and it feels like you at South Park the small town.
    The game mechanics(RPG) in this game fits well with the game.
    There is a large variety of items in this game, distributed between gear, weapons, and weapons. It even has a great number of customizable items like beards, glasses, and hats. It even got junk items for you to make quite a lot of money from.
    The Objectives fits the game perfectly and feels like something the TV series would do if this was an episode of the show instead of a game.
    There isn’t really a multiplayer or Co-Op mode in this game. Only the singleplayer, with a well-made story.
    The Characters are who you are used to seeing if you are familiar with the TV series, with the exception of your character. There isn't really any need for Character Development as the characters are well known if you know the TV series itself.
    The controls are easy to get used to, and pretty straight forward.

    The Dialogue really fits this game perfectly, I'm convinced the script for this game was written by the same team that wrote for the TV Series.
    The cutscenes are definitely made by the creators of south park.

    The graphics are perfect and look exactly like if it was a South Park Episode.
    I don't think it uses motion capture for obvious reasons, but the voice-sync is perfect as well.

    I encountered no bugs or performance issues during my PlayThrough of this game.

    The Story is great, and it really feels like you're watching a South PÅark episode at times. It’s well made and does the game justice in many big ways.

    The replayability is good, given that there are 4 classes that you can play. The replayability is there as well. It is a set story tho.]

    "9/10 – Fantastic.
    I enthusiastically recommend that you add these games to your to-play list.
    As it doesn't hit A Perfect Score, It is an extremely good game.
    I highly recommend getting this game." ~DeathKillerNOR~ ⚠️ IN MY OPINION ⚠️    … Expand

The dialogues, the story, the characters, all these are exactly the same quality as South Park itself. But there is more. While you might expect Parker and Stone to write a good story, you might not expect that the gameplay will be fun also. But it is. The combat is an old school RPG turn based classic and while this game certainly does not go in depth with its RPG elements, it offers real pleasant experience throughout. The graphics is classic South Park and so is the music, featuring the best South Park songs. Now to point out some negatives, there certainly are not many. The RPG element is not that well balanced and most combats towards the end of the game might get boring and repetitive, but that is a common problem with most RPG games. One thing I would like to point out is the length of the game, it is not great and specially for a full priced game. However those are pretty minor details, overall I was positively surprised with this game. There are no microtransaction and obviously no SJW crap.

However, there were a few that did force me to quit the game at inopportune moments. This was frustruating to say the least. Had it not been for these glitches, I know I would have rated the game higher. But que sera sera.

    South Park: The Stick of Truth was a clear choice for me. Not only do I really like animated series, but I love South Park. It was all the more a surprise to me that the game is not just a money changer under the name of a famous serosh, but that it is a really good RPG. You will create your South Park character from the very beginning, which is absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyedSouth Park: The Stick of Truth was a clear choice for me.

It was all the more a surprise to me that the game is not just a money changer under the name of a famous serosh, but that it is a really good RPG. You will create your South Park character from the very beginning, which is absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyed creating myself in the graphics of my favorite series. Your character doesn't speak, which I've criticized in many games, but somehow I didn't mind. It's either that I'm a fan of South Park and I simply don't see any mistakes here, or the authors really succeeded in the game. I was also very interested in the story. How to say it. I called myself South Park. It's going to be a lot of fun, but apart from the great one, the story was really great. I swallowed the whole plot and unraveling at the end. This game just combines everything I like. It's an RPG, so you start at zero and gradually improve to a good deal with the best items, there are Nazis, which I, as a Wolfenstein fan, only welcome and for me it is perhaps the best thing in the game and it's all over wrapped in South Park style. But. I love this game. I finished the game on a PC once, but a few years later I bought the sequel The Fractured But Whole on PS4 and I just got The Stick of Truth. I thought that I would repeat the previous one before the newer work, and when I already knew what and how, I thought that I could try to collect all the trophies and I succeeded on the third try. So I went through this game four times together: D Well, just South Park: The Stick of Truth is one of my favorite games ever and I remember it very much. If you love South Park like I do, don't hesitate. This is a clear choice. If you don't need South Park at the moment, I still think that the game is worth considering, because overall, this is a great RPG for me.… Expand

    Unexpectedly cool game based on awesome TV series. The RPG part of it is a bit too simple though.

    Este juego es de estos que llevas una sonrisa y de vez en cuando una larga carcajada, es el humor negro hecho un juego, un RPG completo, variación de ataques, clases y misiones, una historia que podría ser una temporada de la serie facilmente. Como contras un menú un poco tosco y una duración "corta" pero que satisfacera a cualquier fan de la saga.

    Traveling around the world of South Park in this game is incredibly fun. This is probably the first game that attracted me so much that I played it about five times to collect all the collections.

    The plot is interesting, the dialogues are funny, the gameplay is awesome. What else is needed?

    basically south park if it was a LARP mixed with and the story is good and the item stats really make you think on what to use in combat

    The map can feel a bit empty but the rest of the game is just perfect, the combat is simple and enjoyable, exploration and combat elements are nicely mixed and the story even as it gets a bit odd is enjoyable

    Very good game. In my opinion, it's not as good as it's sequel. The end boss battle was really annoying as well.

    I like South Park so I bought the game. To be honest, I don't have high expectation for the game, but I was wrong. Surprisingly, it is one of my favorite RPG games. It feels like watching a long South Park movie and I am cracked all the time.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    The first South Park that acutally is as good as the series itself. The gameplay is simple but the game design and the story are superb.

    Um jogo muito engraçado e divertido em questão dos personagens icônicos do South Park, com base e combate por turnos formato RPG, com missões cada vez mais esquisitas que a outra de maneira boa.
    E lembre-se nunca peide nas bolas de alguém.

    Nota Final: 8,0

    This is a short, simple, yet fun game. I'm really glad Obsidian and South Park Studios didn't try to pad this game out with too much filler.

Instead, we're treated to what feels like an interactive episode of South Park where you play as a new kid in town with the power to make a lot of friends. This allows you to immerse yourself in the game's world and enjoy all the jokes, classic South Park references, and absolute absurdity of the South Park universe.

    The game plays like your standard turn-based RPG. However, it's certainly much shorter than most games in this genre which might seem a tad unusual, especially for players who are familiar with this genre.

    The graphics are absolutely beautiful, with an animation style on par with the actual show. Apart from one area that is stylized around 80s/90s era RPGs. Overall still impressive nonetheless.

    The soundtrack borrows a lot of tropes from Lord of the Rings as well as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which makes sense considering much of your powers are meant to parody the "shouts" you unlock in Elder Scrolls (this game came out a few years after Skyrim so makes sense I suppose)

    Apart from a slightly clunky blocking system, a lack of much side content, and little difference in your decision whether to join Cartman or Kyle's factions. I'd say this is a great game to sit back and relax with. It's short, it's simple, but at the same time, it's charming, funny, witty, and enjoyable.

    My best recommendation is to buy this game at the sale price and not MSRP as the $30 price tag is a bit steep for such a short game.    … Expand

    This game is underrated, its for me one of the most fun rpg games, its simply too stupid to not like and the gameplay mechanics arent overshadowed by the narrative.

    Great sense of humor combined with great turn based combat system. If you like South Park, you should play this game.

    +I think this game's story is better than Fractured But Whole.

    I didn't expect anything from this South Park RPG, but The Stick of Truth is one of the best license games ever made. It's as obnoxious as the TV series, as it should be. The script is made with love and the RPG elements fit in to the franchise like a glove. [March 2014]
