    Gameplay - Gameplay is pretty simple, you have a turn-based system you will control a party of up to 4 people (you can choose different characters to deploy, different characters have different move-sets).and you have a selection of different moves to use; some attacks being close-quarter, others being long range, and other types being a widespread attack.

    Story - It is what you would expect from South Park turned to a game, it has all the over the top action and silliness that you can expect from the shows.

    I think the main part you need to consider when choosing to purchase this game is do you like turn-based games and do you enjoy the humor of South Park?
    If it's yes to both, absolutely, buy it!
    Even If you aren't a big fan of turn-based games, but you like South Park you really should consider getting this game just for the story alone.    … Expand

The pacing is off a little bit in the middle and, even though it didn't have the OMG WUT?! ending that Stick of Truth had, it still was a very wonderfully done episode of South Park extended into a 10 hour game. A few technical issues cropped up for me while playing, including an unextremely untimely game freeze during the ultra long final battle that prob cost me at least 20 mins or so. Sound glitches and character pop ins ran rampant throughout most of the game, but not enough to spoil anything outright. I'd say that some of the few side missions in the game were the real highlight of the entire playthrough, including the Flappy Bird rip off late in the game. However it all boils down to do you like South Park? If you do, this is the game for you. If not, this game will go out of it's way to make you hate it even more. That's what it really boils down too quite honestly.… Expand

    This game is a top notch entertainment package for the mature audience with a good sense of humor - especially made for South Park fans - and an all around solid good game with so many fun options. Built on Snowdrop (engine) with both casual and strategy players in mind, this (avg) 20 hr game has a greater replay value and consistency in design than the first installment.

Built on Snowdrop (engine) with both casual and strategy players in mind, this (avg) 20 hr game has a greater replay value and consistency in design than the first installment.

    Audio (10/10): Immersive music, authentic voice, with hysterical sound effects. The much needed social commentary, situational variety and well rounded comedy are exemplified by an excellent audio kit, original voice actors, and professional game score that picks up and dips with on-screen action.

    Graphics (10/10): Seamless animation, design and visual effects. South Park design, hand-drawn character animation, cleaner than ever lines and overall achieves exactly the goal of appearing like an episode of the show. Attention to detail adds to comedy and immersion, and exploring the different specials and actions will keep you busy for days.

    Gameplay (10/10): Authentic. Light RPG, immaculate content depth, satisfying puzzles and locations. Enemy variety a huge plus, combat can be played as a short or long game (based on difficulty setting which can be changed at any time, even mid-combat). Accessibility of the open world is clean and charming, character customization and abilities are well made and endless, XP progress and Artifacts are evenly distributed, collectible items are never painfully hidden or require any backtracking, and the consistency of story all make for a seamless play-through for main and side quests.

    Fight the construct of an elitist consumerism bent on a singular perspective, and buy this game!    … Expand

    Los personajes son increibles.
    En los aspectos negativos del titulo, las skin o ropa del personaje ya no es como en el primero ahora no tienen buf que te ayudan en el nivel, ahora hay una rama de artefactos que suben tu poder, el apartado grafico no es espectacular, hay bugs, la narrativa del titulo el final no es muy bueno segun lei en los diferentes foros, pero en mi opinion personal es como el tipico final de un capitulo de south park, sinceramente en mi opinion el primer titulo fue increible, y esta segunda entrega no adopto lo que hacia bueno al 1, sino que dejo de lado ciertas mecanicas y esta un escalon por debajo, en cuanto a narrativa, las habilidades, como la ropa, misiones secundarias hay pocas pero buenas, hay DLC, algo que el 1 no tenia, te recortan la historia, un titulo que en 15 horas lo has terminado, yo dedique 30 horas para obtener todos sus coleccionables y misiones.
    EN fin, lo recomiendo es un buen juego, para PS4, XBOX o SWITCH, si tienes las tres, lo disfrutaras mas en modo portatil, lastimosamente no se puede jugar en steam, unicamente en uplay y es mala para el rendimiento del titulo.

    At first I was slightly bothered by the fact that the town and houses were the same layout as that in Stick of Truth. Then I thought about it, and realised of course it will be. It's South Park Colorado! The game starts after a brilliant character set up, straight off where Stick of Truth finishes. A few early battles let's you learn the new mechanics, the characters feel more like a "darkest Dungeon" strategy, and throughout the game this new mechanic made using new characters worthwhile. Often on losing a fight I would change up my squad and find others skills would hugely benefit the battle at hand.
    There are 10 playable companions, each with 3 moves and a special. For fans, the specials will often have you in tears at first, and never grow dull. For non fans, we'll I'm not sure why you'd buy a South Park game anyhow.
    The story is as offensive and wacky as the first. Additional characters in later series like PC Principle, bring a lot to the table, whilst the charm is still with the boys world being half real and half make believe. Some bookers you meet are hugely offensive and anti PC, but the ongoing back story of the protagonist, told by Cartman was the best running joke. I won't spoil it, but it's ridiculous.
    I used a guide to find the last 3 Yaoi pictures, other than that, I earnt a platinum all whilst playing. And it felt worth my time doing side quests to earn both. I admit in the Stick of Truth, I would avoid fighting the same battles, because I enjoyed the new mechanic so much, I actually fought every battle I could. The voice acting and script alone is a payoff always.
    Any south park fan will love this game as I have. I wish it lasted longer, I wish it had an online pvp mode, but as it stands, it's a hilarious fun RPG that'll have you LOL a lot    … Expand

    Stick of Truth was more RPG than this game. Fracture But Whole is a little more casual turn-based tactics. I would've chosen 6 or a 7 if it weren't for the comedy. Funny and frequently absurd.

    8/10. I laughed about 12 times while playing the game.

    South Park: The Fractured But Whole (SP:TFBW) is a great game that doesn't rely just on its solid RPG gameplay mechanics but also its heritage from the eponymous TV series and its humor.

There are some boss battles    South Park: The Fractured But Whole (SP:TFBW) is a great game that doesn't rely just on its solid RPG gameplay mechanics but also its heritage from the eponymous TV series and its humor.

    SP:TFBW is a grid-based strategy RPG where battles can be fought with a squad of up to 4 superheroes, each with unique abilities, and the ultimates are mostly spectacular. There are some boss battles though where the goal isn't just slowly beat every enemy to win the fight. Players wander through the city map accepting missions and performing some errands (side-quests), while meeting various South Park characters along the way. Your avatar can be customised in gender, color, ethnicity and religion. Costumes are purely cosmetic so you can dress freely, and stats are upgraded by equiping items. The game is quite easy even on the Mastermind (hard) difficulty. Tip to everyone, when you are far into the game just equip the Plantmancer-class abilities (especially the ultimate which lets you revive allies) and you are set for victory.

    The game's story is inspired by the superhero movies mania of the last decade, and in parallel it parodies various political subjects or crafts situational jokes. The South Park kids, including the player as The New Kid, play superheroes in the streets and have split into 2 factions resembling Marvel vs DC but actually feel more like the XMen vs Brotherhood of Mutants rivalry. The trademark South Park humor is ever present, every joke is hilarious in and of itself, and many little touches make it the ultimate South Park experience. For example, if an enemy speaks in a politically incorrect manner during battle, PC Principal calls for the player to strike them in order to deal some free, extra damage. I know that some people may be offended by the politically incorrect jokes, toilet humor and the abundance of fart jokes, but it wouldn't be South Park otherwise.

    On the technical side, the game is emulating the art-style and animations of the TV show perfectly. The soundtrack is inspired by certain motifs of Marvel movies' OSTs and is fitting for this game. Voice acting is fantastic throughout.

    Of course the game isn't perfect. SP:TFBW is a bit buggy (early in the game I got stuck and had to reload, thankfully this happened to me just once). Also the map should have been better designed, nearly every home is the same layout internally.

    All in all, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a great game, and its trademark South Park humor makes it even better. I definitely want to see another South Park game, and I wonder whether Ubisoft can top this one.    … Expand

Matt Stone and Trey Parker bring us another adventure in the video game world rather than on the small screen. Does the new installment in this franchise hold up as well of the first one? Let us find out.

    South Park the fracture but whole picks up right where the first one left off. You are still playing the middle age’s game for about five minutes, during this time it will give you a quick over view of the new combat system. At the end of those five minutes, you run in to Cartman, who has switched games to superheroes. Once the game switches over, you start at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to your popularity. You will then have the story of the game explained to you; you are looking for missing cats in
    South Park in order for a reward so you can fund your super hero franchise. There is two sides of the super heroes, the coon and friends & the freedom pals who are in a civil war. In the story line, they are making fun of the marvel cinematic universe. As you progress through the story you find out there is more to it than just finding the cats for a reward there is a darker side to it than just what meets the eye.

    The Game Play in South Park is just about the same as the first installment but a little bit more in depth, especially when it comes to the combat. This time you move along a certain amount of spaces along a grid to reach your target. Each move you do has a different range of attack, which adds a nice variety to the combat. Don’t worry about going in alone it never happens. On your side you can have up to three different sidekicks like The Coon, Captain Diabetes, The Human Kite, Mosquito and much more. Each of them offering their unique abilities to help you on your journey throughout South Park. A few of the new additions to the game play is crafting, you can build costumes, consumables and more. Throughout your adventure, you will pick up artifacts, which gives you more strength for your attacks it is highly recommended especially towards the end of the game when you need a might of 500 for some missions otherwise you will have a difficult time completing these missions. South Park is a mix of open world; turn base combat, RPG game. When you are travelling through the world you will run in to characters who will assign side missions to you this will help you get new artifacts and level up.

    South Park the Fractured But whole is a proper and wonderful sequel, keeping the humor of the show, adding more to the combat and exploration. I loved by 18 hours of game play I completed the story was able to complete all the side missions except for two of them and get all the collectibles & I hope a third one comes out this is one title you don’t want to miss this year.

    Score: 9/10

It is pretty hard to top such a great game, as for the gameplay and the story campaign.

    Good news is the developers have worked hard on the gameplay aspect of the game, and it really payed off. As someone who is not much into RPG games I was really into the combat system and game progression. I was pleasantly surprised to see new features in the combat system which I already enjoy from previous installment. Some of the added features in the game has other already mentioned, like environmental impact on the opponents. Another thing worth mentioning is the scripted parts in a lot of the battles which can be entertaining, it can have its own cons as well. Some fight are slightly changed making it feel like it's a "BOSS" fight, giving new refreshing experience.

    Exploring with puzzle elements is a great welcome. Collectables are back and not just rehashed previous material, which keeps the game fresh. Game manages to show new stuff you haven't seen in the show, while being faithful to the source. So throughout the game will not feel other than like you're a part of South Park story.

    However, the game is far from being perfect. Fortunately, there are no major problems with the game. Some of the scripted scenes, when you fight against enemies, which I mentioned previously, can be annoying. Some battles can be very hard and feel unbalanced, imagine playing same thing all over again and watching the same scene again and again... worst part is, that it's probably Kyle's cousin who's appearing... Another minor issue I have with the game is the interaction with the environment, sometimes the button for interacting with other won't appear and you will have to try again by going away from object and back. Another time I was baffled with QTE, the game cannot give clear instructions if you're supposed to press or hold buttons.

    Part which I really did not enjoy is the farting (no pun intended). When a lot of abilities of the character are depending on farting, the joke gets old really fast, and unfortunately it overstays its "welcome".

    As for the story, it all subjective. A lot of people will probably complain how the game has more references to the newer stuff, and if you haven’t watched last season’s it's understandable if you don't understand jokes or find it funny. In my opinion Stick of Truth had a better presentation and the story, but still it doesn't mean I did not enjoy this game experience. This story was great addition to the SP universe and I will consider checking the later DLCs for the game.

    So, in conclusion, it's a great game. If you enjoyed Stick of Truth and want come back to South Park for new adventures with slight updates of gameplay this game has you covered. However, if you're expecting "bigger and longer" game and story, I would suggest passing this one.    … Expand

Again, they manage to recreate the world of South Park and make you think you're actually in the show. Again, they play around with what you can do in an RPG, by having your battle in the streets stopped by a car coming by or the movie ticket guy commenting on your battle if you fight in front of him. The story is a bizarre wild ride that is definitely unique.

    I liked the new battle system. I found the ability to move around kept things varied. Also, liked that your character could swap and switch several power moves. I do kind of wish that the other characters could have had more moves than the ones they came with. It gets a little dull with them having only one specific skill set.

    Unfortunately, this is the buggiest game I've played on the PS4. There were dialogue loops, frame drops, and one time I had to reset because a boss fight froze. (Luckily this game does instasave.) Given that the last game had bugs, you'd think they'd try harder to prevent them.

    Still, I recommend this game to anyone not too offended by the show's humor.    … Expand

    It's South Park. If you like the show then you'll likely love this. If not, then it won't be for you. Like The Stick of Truth, I'd say all the "side quests" are pretty much mandatory (minus the yaoi and memberberry collection ones) to get the most out of the game.

BUT whine whine whine uPlay". It's insane to downvote such a good game for that.

    I have had ZERO issues running it on uPlay, it's not full of bugs, it's not bloated with anything. It runs smoothly, it's hilarious, the new combat system is a big plus. I have dumped several hours into it and i'm not even half way through.

    The only cons for me would be the price and the day one DLC. I think that should have been included for such a steep price tag that isn't really justified. This game is just like Stick of Truth, there isn't anything ground break or brand new about this that it is worth almost $100. To be fair I purchased my copy from Green Man Gaming for $50. Well worth that price tag.

    This is a fun game, great sequel to the first and is just like being in a super long episode of SP. There are tons of throw backs for die hard SP fans and just an all around engaging game. Combat system is great now, and it's really a fun game. Get over your Ubisoft hangups and unwind by playing a comedy game that really delivers.    … Expand

The games funny and gags are more focused on the super hero part rather than just having all out absurdity like the first game. I do not feel this game is better than the first, but with that said the first game was my GOTY in a weak 2014. I do like that they did the super heroes rather than continuing the mythical from the first game. The game has a lot more to do and a lot more places to explore and it was fun to get every item and look behind every nook and cranny. I hope they continue this franchise. Being mythical first, super heroes second. I believe they can easily transfer into the Ninja stage like one of the episodes, and I believe they will since I think they teased it with some of the enemies. I feel you kinda have to be a fan to really get the majority of the references and jokes, but with me being a mega fan I loved everything about it even though it wasn't as good as the first.… Expand

    The Fractured But Whole improves on its predecessor while changing up the humor to fit the superhero story and it works really well. One of the funniest, most enjoyable games I've played in the past few years and I'm just getting into it.

FBW was confusing I thought I was supposed to pick a side I just was on Cartman's side all the sudden. It was hard to follow, and I just thought the SOT appeared to be a home run and the FBW seemed more like a ground rule double. I'm looking forward to playing them both. I actually wanted to go reverse order to save the SOT as a gift for later because it is so awesome, but that seemed silly. I'm sure the FBW gets better. I was cracking up the whole way with SOT and didn't laugh much at all in the FBW honestly, but again, just an hour in each. I read someone that said FBW is a UBI game with a South Park skin, not sure what that means exactly, but that would make more sense, not as hands on with the South Park Crew maybe? BTW the SOT is a 10/10, just loving it.… Expand

    If you are a fan of a show, watched more than 16 seasons+, played and enjoyed Stick of Truth, then you will definitely like this one, because it's much more bigger and better. I am near the completion and my time is around 20 hours, well, i should mention that i also did most of the side quests. I am guessing that when i actually finish the game my time will be around 22+. What else should i add?

    If you're a fan of the show, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. Even though this one is not as good as Stick of Truth because the game is a bit dull in the first half but it picks up the pace in the 2nd half. Get it. You won't regret it for sure.

    This game is a big mixed bag for me, and for good reasons: I initially bought this game that also came along with a code for TSOT and I LOVED that game, despite its flaws and being utterly short. Still, It was a game I could easily recommend and even if the gameplay was meh, the story and the humor behind it was what kept me playing until the end. Twice.

    But TFBW is...different. The    This game is a big mixed bag for me, and for good reasons: I initially bought this game that also came along with a code for TSOT and I LOVED that game, despite its flaws and being utterly short. Still, It was a game I could easily recommend and even if the gameplay was meh, the story and the humor behind it was what kept me playing until the end. Twice.

    But TFBW is...different.

    The game is drastically improved and I cannot lie: the combat got a massive overhaul, from a paper Mario-esque kind of combat to a more tactical version and from 2 characters you can have now 4 on the field - even though in the first game you could swap your companion with anyone. The combat is very fun, despite being slow, and I had a really good time playing it on high difficulty: it makes combat more challenging but not impossible.

    The new guy is also changed: while in the first game you could choose 4 classes, and stick with said class to the end, in TFBW you will be able to change class and use specific skills and ultimates for having a very variable kit, without mentioning the extremely well done customization with artifacts and DNA, which drastically changes your stat distribution...even though your character does feel a bit weaker than everyone else, even with a potency of 810. I just made him the healer, with one of the best AoE heals and the medium ultimate which heals and grants shield: almost made every battle a breeze.

    South Park itself is much different, but not too much: many areas are revamped and different - I suppose many are also referenced in the series but since I'm a dirty European we don't really know. Yeah, we suck. Anyway, I will give them at the very least the benefit of not censoring the game anymore, probably thanks to the 18 rating our version got so we could enjoy the game without any issues.

    Either way, South Park was slightly revamped, redesigned with more paths to take and overall the area feels new but familiar which is a good thing.

    And the story...well it's good, it's south park, but this is where I'm going to stop because I want to say this: while TBFW is a much better game in terms of GAMEPLAY I felt that TSOT is a much better game in terms of STORY.

    TBFW's plot is a mess and very unfocused and honestly not really fun, at least not as fun as TSOT which could keep me glued to the screen for hours until the end, and I really had a hard time to follow it at times: it starts with you needing to find a cat, although you end up going after Chaos, then suddenly you have a conspiracy behind and...honestly I'm not even sure about the plot is so unfocused. The characters "characters" are really fun and somewhat inventive but it's less about satirizing and more about making fun of in TSOT the fantasy setting was a parody of EVERYTHING fantasy, from games to dungeons and dragons, and even me who doesn't play DnD I still get tons of the references and the feeling of being a fantasy satire. But TFBW doesn't feel anything like this: it's just parody for the sake of parody with the only major satiric point being "making several movies for promoting the franchise". It just feels...unfocused, that's all I can say!

    The gameplay got better too and the fact your character can customize your skills at will makes the entire "start with a new class" not required since you'll have every class unlocked near the end of the game and you also got more characters to use in battle.
    Still, the first game used the vs2 combat much better by allowing you to swap characters when needed, having perks, upgrading skills and more. Yeah, you can't upgrade skills anymore and you have no perks anymore - there are but it's tied to artifacts - which feels like a big contrast with RPGs. Where, you know, there's a lot of customization! Not that there aren't any it's just less customization.
    Armor is also for cosmetic purposes only, whereas in the first game armor was an essential part of the game...I get it the idea, you can make your personal superhero costume, but still, I feel there could be some sort of glamour option to fix the issue.

    And the game length, while being longer (I finished in 25 hours vs 13 in TSOT) I would need to pause once in a while because I would get bored. Exploration is still important but now you have only 6 abilities to use (fart, firecrackers, and 4 hero related powers) and I don't really feel as rewarded to backtrack on previous areas, especially when only thing you can get is crafting mats. Oh I forgot there is also crafting...and it's okay.

    Overall, I do want to recommend this game because it's objectively a better GAME than TSOT, but as a SOUTH PARK GAME it's much worse. I recommend trying TSOT first - especially if cheaper - and then this, because that game was addictive and I could easily stay an entire day playing and laughing at the humor.

    This game just feels tiresome after a while.    … Expand

    Story: One day after the events from The Stick of Truth the player. The children abandon their fantasy role-playing game to become superheroes and create a superhero media franchise. Unable to agree on who will get a movie or Netflix series, the characters split into two rival factions, Coon and Friends and the Freedom Pals and now a Civil war breaks out...

    Pros: • Although I consider    Story: One day after the events from The Stick of Truth the player. The children abandon their fantasy role-playing game to become superheroes and create a superhero media franchise. Unable to agree on who will get a movie or Netflix series, the characters split into two rival factions, Coon and Friends and the Freedom Pals and now a Civil war breaks out...

    Pros:
    • Although I consider this story weaker compared to SOT, The Fractured But Whole does give us a story like what we would see from the show and it does go deeper into some characters stories this time around.
    • The references to the show are still around like the last game.

    Cons:
    • The pacing of the story is inconsistent. While SOT's built up very well, But Wholes seems to not build up to the same standards as often or even drags on in certain sections.
    • The humor of South Park is still there, but it doesn't always work as great as it should. Kind off like a just average episode of South Park. Just feels like Matt and Trey took a smaller role in this games creation.

    Gameplay: South Park: The Fractured But Whole uses a turn-based combat system. When combat starts, the floor area becomes a grid. The turn order is displayed in a timeline at the bottom right corner of the screen. Players can move their character and buddies in specified areas of the grid marked in blue.

    Pros:
    • I liked the combat in the first game, but FBW actually improved it with a grid system, up to three buddies fighting alongside you and overall feel a lot more tactics is involved with the game mechanics.
    • There is no longer any missable collectebles so completionists can be happy.
    • The classes are super-hero themed this time around and are fun to play as and experiment with. Also with the feature of combined the powers from different classes for the main character, it made the combos very exciting to mess with and adding loads of different ways to play.
    • To do everything in this game, it took around 30 hours to fully beat it which is over double the time to beat SOT which is excellent.
    • The companions are even more useful in this game, as they have there own abilities in combat and can use some of their powers to help you explore South Park.
    • Just like SOT, love how the gameplay feels like the imagination of a 8 year old playing super-heros with all the details.

    Cons:
    • The side quests are a step down from SOT. But Whole is more focused on it's main story then the side quests, but as a result the side quests really are not that great or memorable.
    • Some classes are clearly more powerful then others. Yes you mix the classes around, however I always found the melee-focused classes/powers much less useful then the ranged or status effect ones.

    Sound and Music:

    Pros:
    • The voice actors from the show reprise their roles they do a solid enough job on the whole thing with some crazy ones for good measure.
    • The music does it's job. But I found myself laughing a lot to some of the tracks they used from the show so that's a plus.
    • Sound fx are solid and do feel like from the show.

    Performance and Graphics:

    Pros:
    • Once again the game looks like an episode of South Park like SOT, except with a few better textures and lighting which is a good thing.
    • The game ran well overall.

    Cons:
    • Saw a fair few more glitches compared to SOT. Mainly it was due to the audio cutting out or lip-syncing was off. But it happened more and more often as the game went on. Really a small complaint since nothing major happened besides that.

    Verdict: I have to say, we got a good sequel to the best South Park game ever made. Although I enjoyed the combat, the super-hero theme, some game mechanics and had some great laughs with this game. I think the story and the humor at times has taken a step down from Stick of Truth and I just found The Fractured But Whole less iconic. That's not to say it's a good RPG and it's still a must play for any fans of the show. I think it's just Stick of Truth did such an amazing job TFBW would have a hard time competing. But still, really good game and I recommend it.

    I really enjoyed the beginning of the game because it hones in the fact that its just “pretend,” the kids are just using their imaginations and none of it is real even in that world.

    I haven’t played the Stick of Truth but it seems like The Fractured But Whole is similar to The Stick of Truth. The combat is a turn-based strategy game which is odd for a South Park game but its works well. Especially for me considering how much I enjoy Turn-Based Strategy games and I can confidently say that this is a good one.

    The premise of the game is your character in the game is the new kid at school and there is something major going on in town. All the cats seem to be missing so there is a little crime solving in the game as well. So you’re kind of like Batman where you’re both a Superhero and Detective. Although you don’t solve a lot, most of the detective work is done via cutscenes.

    Looking back to this game, I can say that I had fun playing through this game. Its not a particularly difficult game to play and it is funny at times. There are a lot of fart jokes which as someone who is in their late 20’s now, fart jokes aren’t what they use to be. Thats more my age, I do feel like I have outgrown South Park but with that being said, I still enjoyed this game. It doesn’t make me want to watch the show but it does make me want to play the Stick of Truth.    … Expand

    Mechanically this is an excellent game and a vast improvement on stick of truth, the world feels better, it's easier, quicker and more fun to navigate with a lot less loading times and a smoother movement across the landscape for your character even if the same negatives from the first game about the repetitive environment with small daily changes and locked off sections of the town still exist.

    The combat is a vast improvement over SOT, much more enjoyable than the absolute tedious qte crap that was the first game. I actually tried to go back and play the first one again after this and couldn't stomach it which is a real shame because it was an enjoyable story and theme, which arguably worked better than the superhero theme in the current one although that is fun offering good powers and fun characters and interactions in south park.

    It has some good RPG mechanics although it is a bit thin, the lack of weapons or armour and no ability to upgrade you companions abilities or load-outs is a bit of a drawback for me but they are obviously trying to keep the game-play appeal wide and simple given that a lot of people will buy it because they are south park fans not RPG fans.

    If you are a fan of South Park you will enjoy this game purely for the humour and aesthetic of it, but the game is fun even if it is a bit repetitive, particularly the combat and enemies. RPG fans will enjoy this as well as it is a fun game to play with an interesting (if stupid) story.

    Despite the negatives I have still given this game an 8 as I did really enjoy playing it and it's more a case of picking up on failings on reflection.

    In the third game I would like to see them go totally off planet, maybe using the town as a hub with your travelling to lots of other environments and getting rid of the repetition issue, I would like much deeper RPG mechanics and a focus on a larger and grander story and game while doing away with some of the gimmicky stuff like taking a **** The tactical turn based combat served the game well but more enemy and move variety combined with making it a bit more challenging could result in a top notch game.    … Expand

    I feel the time taken to complete the game is adequate while leaving extra missions and side-quests for those who want to 100% the game.

    The only downside for me is a bug where the auto-save locks. It happened to me once and thankfully, I googled the problem before continuing to play and lose hours of my save.

    The combat is the core of the game, and we are gradually introduced to mechanics at a manageable pace. Whilst these are entertaining at first, the repetition of farting grated on me long before the game's end. Having to call up my buddies to clear obstacles became a chore quickly. Furthermore, the range of moves available for my own character were relatively diverse, yet you can see that each character follows a very similar format in terms of what effects and range their moves have, although this leaves room for you to choose your favourite characters and not get bogged down by strategy. After all, this fulcrum of this game is humour and it's not a JRPG, which the game is great at self- satirising.

    The story was very interesting for the most part, however by the time Mitch was introduced I felt it had outstayed its welcome and actually became rather bored by the end. I appreciate longevity in a game, but this is easily marred by repetition and boredom. Another example of this are quests where you have to collect lots of items scattered over town. This is a very cheap and omnipresent concept in gaming these days, unfortunately.

    SOF is included with this game but BEWARE, because it is a code you must redeem to download the game; IT IS NOT ON THE DISC! This irritated me a bit, since many people buy their games second-hand these days but then again it's not too difficult to work around this.

    Overall, this is a great game and well worth a price tag of £20 or less that it is commonly found at now.    … Expand

    It was the first game in the last few years which I passed through in a week or something. I played almost everyday for few hours, in a weekend I played 5-6 hours and I wanted more and more. For me that is the main sign that the game is very-very good. I didn't get tired of the gameplay even by the end of the game.
    But the most wonderful things are the whole story, the characters and all the collectibles in the game, I found all of them and didn't tired too.

    I reduced the score because of two things - there was a drawdown in the last third of the game, and even with all these great sides of the game for me it was a little bit moments of a backtracking which sometimes made me tired. And of course it cannot be nine or ten because it is not a big game with gorgeous graphics, mechanics and a cinematic story.

I really liked the DLC as well, but it is probably considered by most to be expensive relative to the time you get out of it. All told I spent 60 hours in the base game and DLC, and did everything to get platinum, except the difficulty. That’s probably twice as long as most people would spend. I’m not sure what happened. So I’d have to play it again. If you like the show, definitely get the game or at least watch a review on YouTube to see if it is up your alley. #spontaneous #bootay

    The Fractured but Whole might be a better game (mainly thanks to significantly improved combat) but The Stick of Truth was a better South Park by a long shot. The Stick was brimming with humor and creativity (remember the 8-bit Canada?), this one is a forced compilation of jokes that are mostly either lazily rehashed (City Wok’s owner mispronouncing words, they took our jobs, poof! It’s gone and many, many more) or shallow. Where’s the show’s brilliant satire!? I’m not just disappointed by the fact that Parker and Stone botched this. As a die-hard fan of the show I’m simply embarrassed. [13/2017, p.46]
