    While TFBW has a lot of small improvements over TSOT like better menus and streamlined item pickups, on the whole, I have to say I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the first game.

While Stick of Truth was a quite short and magnificently paced rollercoaster of top-notch South Park writing, this game just drags on for waaaaaay too long with a story that is kinda all over the place and there are way less funny surprises that shake up the game than in SOT.

    Also, the combat system leans more towards tactical RPGs this time, but only ever explores that style on a pretty superficial level. Mainly, the new system makes battles take WAY longer now, often up to 10 mins. All of which means the combat got pretty stale for me quite early on despite the game desperately trying to keep it from doing so by throwing more and more characters and classes at me. I honestly preferred SOT's super-simple turn-based combat over this system, at least with that, low-level battles were over very quickly.

    So, at the end of the day, TFBW just didn't entertain me and make me laugh in the delightful way SOT did, even though the latter may have come across a little janky at times. That doesn't exactly make Butwhole a bad game, but it does lack charm and look a little lifeless compared to its predecessor.    … Expand

    A solid and funny turn based RPG that starts to buckle under its own weight about halfway through. Its funny but it gets old faster than I'd like.

    Ok, so it basically same game as previous one but developers improved gameplay and changed a theme. Previous game was great so this one and improved a little bit is great too. For me personally theme is worse because I like LotR way more than Marvel but its still SP and its funny as hell. 8/10

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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.

    A great recommendation for SP fans!    … Expand

    It's another good South Park RPG, but I can't not fault it for the noticeably worse "RPG" mechanics. For every improvement made to the game - and there are plenty - it just doesn't feel as good as the Stick of Truth.

    Trotz dessen, dass ich bisher vllt. nur 10 Folgen in meinem Leben der Serie gesehen habe, hat mir das Spiel echt sehr viel Spaß bereitet. Cooles Rollenspiel mit viel Witz, auch wenn nach einiger Zeit alles etwas abflacht. Kann ich auf jeden Fall empfehlen, für Fans der Serie wohl gar ein Must-Have.

    One of the **** games ever made. Boring, lame and unfair. The story is bad, the fighting system is bad, the gameplay is bad. And it is all about farts. And wokeness. The enemies, especially the bosses, are totally op, you have to restart the fights again and again. There is no fun in this game, Ubisoft made it only for cash grabbing. Better don't even touch it.

Longer version: The prequel “The Stick of Truth” impressed me and so I bought the sequel naturally. I expected the same respectless, dark and satirical South Park style humour and a solid to good RPG experience. To be fair it is not a bad game but more shallow than the prequel and overall less immersive even when it has its moments and some good ideas. Also the humour works less well. Story: It continues a day after the events of “The Stick of Truth”. Sidenote: You mostly don't need to know the story of the prequel to enjoy this but it helps especially at the end of the game. This time the kids play superheroes (and supervillains). Their goal is finding a missing cat and use the reward to start their own superhero media /movie universe. Of cause this is just the beginning of many crazy events and twist that I will avoid because of spoilers. The story is entertaining but weaker than “The Stick of Truth”. Sometimes it feels forced or stretched. Also the villain is pretty weak or even a mayor disappointment and never won me over. In total I say they used weaker ideas (or less creativity / time) and it is less enjoyable because of it. Gameplay: The game focused on the superhero genre. You are again the new kid in town who moved in a few days before (See the events of “The Stick of truth for a set up). Again you create your character and I recommend to chose a female character and switch the difficult setting to get some dark South Park humour ;-). You chose a superhero class for your abilities including a weakness via a character sheet (Weakness: Like Kryptonite for Superman). I recommend vampires as weakness if you don't plan on buying DLC. As you progress through the game more options unlock and you can test multiple builds. The main change in gameplay is switching from turn based RPG to tactical RPG. The battles are on a square with 4 x 4 fields. There you move or position your party of up to 4 characters (= 3 characters of your choice can be added). When it is your characters turn you can move and use actions like attacks, items or special moves. Each special move has a specific range you have to take into consideration. The other party members have special abilities that help in battle and outside of it. Clarification for outside of battle: It has again a Metroidvania style that lets you unlock new areas with the right abilities / companions that are unpassable before. Your player character is special as he can master the art of microaggressions, add DNA boost to improve his stats and has even more farting skills available than before. There is more to it like knock backs, status effects etc. which is self-explanatory enough in the game. Visuals and soundtrack: Again this is one of the best source adaptations in videogames. They nailed the look, feel and characters. Like for the prequel I only say that I thought that the town was bigger and I am not a huge fan of the style (which would be unfair to criticize here). Humour: I expected more after the prequel game. It is entertaining but weaker. I almost say it is a bit tame for South Park standards but refused this statement at the end. Like I already said some parts feel a bit stretched out. South Park humour warning: The humour is not for everyone. For some it can be disgusting, harmful or tasteless. Negatives: The battle system did not win me over completely as I felt sometimes restricted. Except the boss battles the game was too easy and I see myself not as above average player. Some superheroes classes are underpowered. Lastly it is not as good as the prequel with weaker humour (I know I already said this before but it is a quintessential misstep for me). Overall I enjoyed the game but it was not that great. There are however strong moments I liked but it is not enough that I recommend the game.… Expand

    Oh, and on second playthrough, the first time you open your bedroom truck, you have to click accept item for almost 30 minutes. I almost had to hand off the controller to a friend, just because I got so **** sick of hoping I could on **** day be done opening my **** trunk.
    And then the best part: I could not put on ANY of those **** customizable costumes, until I finished being non-consentually God-Moded through the "tutorial".

    Oh, and the Cartman not letting you skip **** bull**** is only **** funny on the first **** playthrough.

And while not quite as funny as it’s predecessor, this game really captures the TV show with offensive humor and some omg moments. 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

    Some people are completely sure this second part is a worst game than the first one, but I'm not sure about that. There are so many (and more) things in Fractured But Whole that aren't in The Stick of Truth, that I actually can't decide which game is better.

The Stick of Truth was great and amazing, and it's natural that many people loves it so much, but this second game complements the first game perfectly.

    Great game. If you like the South Park series you’ll really enjoy this game. Fun, relaxing, and challenging on harder difficulties. Loved the puzzle solving and Easter eggs throughout the South Park we love and know. I would love to see another game created. Maybe a mixture of turn based and action RPG elements. The mini games they have mixed into the game also add great variety.

    Era molto tempo che aspettavo un nuovo titolo dedicato alla serie malata di South park. Il gioco è costruito molto bene, si basa essenzialmente su esplorazione e combattimento ed il risultato finale è ottimo con solo qualche piccolo difetto. Risate assicurate

Beat the platinum Cup is very easy you will need another night or two. There is a donation, but it is solely for the sake of the characters ' outfits from the first part, so it does not affect anything. If you haven't watched sourh park, you may still like the game, but if you don't like jokes about farting and mats, you may not like it. In General, the game is good, takes place for 6-7 evenings, I recommend buying… Expand

    This game was decent, but I missed the simplicity of the stick of truth. I felt too much more was added to this game, making the fights longer than they should have been. They were still fun, and I really enjoyed the powers. Switching between different super powers, and trying each move out was fun. But at times, I missed the stick of truth combat.

    Game overall looks good and fun BUT there is a know bug that breaks the entire game. Quest "Gotta go fast". This seems to be broken on all platforms and if you see my zero on User Score - that means Ubisoft was not able to fix it. After 7 hours of playtime I can just delete my saved game and start over.

    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.

    The Stick of Truth felt fresh to play and was inventive in many ways. This game feels largely like a copy-paste job of the older game, minus the Canada section. New missions in the same environment, with less fun jokes and overall a feel of being an update to make some more money for the devs.

    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

    It has the good humor and characters, but the combat itself, although is fun, has its issues, The area size changes on different combats, specially the ones with objectives. And focusing on a role is not very usefull or recommended due to the combat area estatement.

    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

    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.

    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

But the game is not as good as The Stick of Truth (which I played until the end and enjoyed every second). The first SW RPG was a pretty decent RPG and this new one is not bad, it's just kind of boring.

    And when I realized I was not having that much fun with it I just gave up. Might as well play Stick of Truth, which they give as a bonus download anyway - so there is that.

    South Park FBW is by far not a bad game. It's just not great either. You'll laugh a bit at its crass humor and its charming characters, but don't expect much more.    … Expand

    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

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

    Imagine if halo or call of duty came out with a game that had the exact same map as the last game but less of it, a new story and slightly different attacks in battle, same old hunt around for side missions, go find x amount of x, this game seems to come secondary to the storyline, it seems really lazy and rehashed from the stick....

Boosting your character's stats by using toilets was also surprisingly well-implemented & gratifying. however, it just isn't that much fun to play. despite a hearty upgrade system, combat is slow & repetitive. navigating the town is slightly awkward & also gets boring fast, even with the unlockable fast-travel system. i was almost immediately digging through settings to boost the dialogue & combat speed to no avail. the game charmed me more than expected, but I was not compelled to work through more than about 10 hours of it before losing all desire to ever play it again. i didn't notice any of the bugs others have noted, perhaps they have been fixed with recent updates.… Expand

    Everything that was presented in South Park seems to have been recycled in this game. Like a few others have said, many of the jokes have been done.

    I didn't like the move to a tactical rpg and less focus on stats and equipment. Instead, its just some artifacts that really "set it and forget it" feel to upping your stats. Which really seems like a lazy system, as is the crafting. (Then again, maybe that is a joke in itself)

    Sidequests are mostly boring but add some funny moments, with a few memorable ones. The main story is decent and really just makes up for a long South Park episode. It seems as though they wanted to do more gags on the comics but never really went through with it, probably because of licensing or something. There is a mountain of material to go on...which seemed like a missed opportunity on their part.

    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

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.

    Introduction: The sequel to 2013 hit game "South Park: The Stick of Truth" is out, so the question is, Does this live up to the original? In some ways, it does due to a massive overhaul in the combat system. Gameplay is more diverse and a chance to make great strategies (or very cheap ones.) Sadly, this game does slip in a few areas.
    Story: The story this time around is pretty simple.    Introduction: The sequel to 2013 hit game "South Park: The Stick of Truth" is out, so the question is, Does this live up to the original? In some ways, it does due to a massive overhaul in the combat system. Gameplay is more diverse and a chance to make great strategies (or very cheap ones.) Sadly, this game does slip in a few areas.
    Story: The story this time around is pretty simple. Eric Cartman or "The Coon" goes back in time to tell all the kids (including your custom character) that are still playing their game from the previous installment, that a cat has been stolen and they need to play Superheroes to get the cat back. Normally South Park takes simple premises like this and turns them up to 11 for the sake of comedy. This time around, I feel like the story never hit the 11 I was expecting. Jokes are used way too much and the ending is very anti-climatic and not over the top, unlike the previous South Park game. There is still some funny and crazy moment but there is only so many times you will think that Cartman talking about your Mom getting **** is funny. (He reuses the joke 5 to 6 times over the course of the whole game!) The story is like an average episode of South Park, not amazing but it gets the job done.
    Gameplay: The gameplay has been improved since the last time we played a South Park game. Instead of standard turn-based combat, it's a bit more complicated. In battle, all players stand on a grid and get to choose from a limited amount of spaces, where they will stand and where they can attack. This system allows for much more strategy instead of standing in place and attacking back and forth until someone wins. Before you start a fight, you will get to choose classes every so often. These classes let you get certain attacks and abilities for your character, these attacks can become stronger by raising your might level. The way you level your characters stats have been a little dumb down but I think its fine for what the game is trying to be. Your might level is determined but what items you attach to your character. The higher the level, the stronger you are. Pretty straightforward and works well. Gameplay is great and should be the standard if more South Park games are to come out in the future.
    Technical: The game suffers a little here. The overall presentation is nice and on par with the first game but technical issue get in the way at times. I had the game freeze in battle multiple times causing me to restart a battle. Audio would cut off or would not be sync at times. Other than this stuff that they should have ironed out before launch, the games runs fine when out of battle. Smooth 60fps in cutscenes and gameplay.
    Conclusion: South Park: The Fracture But Whole had all the elements of a good South Park game. It ran with those elements and slip up a bit, but for the most part, they made it to the finish line. If you are a fan of South Park, I would still highly recommend it. There is still enough here to make fans of the TV show happy. If your just a fan of RPG's I would wait for a price drop due to a short and lacking story, and so they can iron out the bugs for the gameplay.    … Expand

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

    If you like South Park then just by the game. You'll outright love it.
    If you didn't like the first game then this one is completely different. You'll enjoy it. The new combat mechanics reward you for being a good strategist, or for counting.

    The new combat mechanics reward you for being a good strategist, or for counting. Might is just and indicator, and well placed, because artifacts rewarded for looting correctly and searching thoroughly just help you keep on par with enemies.

    The story was filled with farts, but the journey is awesome.

    My one comment: Become a good friend of Freckle God, then defeat him.

    Well, after SoT you may expect at least the same game, but it worse in every aspect. Good jokes are extremely rare, battle system is much easier, side quests are super boring. Do not waste your money and just replay the first game.

    5/10, under average. This game is good if you are a fan of the series and that's about it. The mechanics and UI are improved over the first game but that's where the improvements end. Other wise this game suffers from the same drawbacks including being short and lacking any kind of replayability. Once you have gone through the game once and seen all the jokes and made all the choices, you5/10, under average. This game is good if you are a fan of the series and that's about it.

Other wise this game suffers from the same drawbacks including being short and lacking any kind of replayability. Once you have gone through the game once and seen all the jokes and made all the choices, you don't need to do it again as choosing a different path does not lead to a different outcome, I know because I played through it twice, and save scammed to see all the outcomes on my second play through. However, while it's gameplay mechanics are better, it's still a super simple, super easy jrpg, that's casual AF, and easily the worst part of this game is that it is not nearly as funny as the first game. If you are expecting to have the laugh out loud moments that you experienced in the stick of truth, you simply won't find any here. Regardless, it is still like playing an episode of south park and is something that a hardcore south park fan would likely enjoy, though I would recommend waiting for a price drop before buying.… 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.

    Full of bugs and glitches, just lost three hours of gameplay time due to an auto save glitch. Do they not test these games before they go "gold"? It is too bad because it is a really good game.

    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]

    Return to South Park with an improved combat system and superheroes instead of Elves. It's still entertaining, but the first game (included in the pack) was more hilarious and had better side missions. [Issue#280]

    Its not the game its forerunner was, but The Fractured But Whole's accessible combat tactics and occasional rib-ticklers ensure most players will have a good time. [Christmas 2017, p.96]
