    game content.
    fun game, interesting jokes, nice combat improvements over Stick of Truth though I wish it was more engaging as many attacks have no actual engagement making some decisions feel meaningless, decent length and isn't as reliant on jokes the show already made as Stick of Truth was with actually using new content.
    Game Performance decent framerate though it slows down at odd    game content.

    Game Performance
    decent framerate though it slows down at odd times just walking around without anything going on in game when it feels steady at all the demanding spots. Resolution looks good both docked and handheld
    some bugs making me redo parts of the game due to no fault of my own. and the main reason for such a low score is because a portion of the game is unplayable, locked in a never ending loading screen when ever I enter a building for a quest, tried multiple times letting it load for about an hour and it just won't ever let me into the building for the quest and with it looking like an important quest it's not something I want to ignore and has made the game unplayable for me.

    Other issues
    tying difficulty to skin color (at least for a good portion of the game) works fine as a joke but it starts getting really annoying having to play through it like that as some of us like to create animated versions of ourselves in character creators and this makes that not possible without destroying how I want to play the game.

    game also loses points for over priced DLC that it advertises for people to buy in game on a regular bases and pushing the Ubisoft store on people by offering exclusive costumes for those willing to create an account, advertising those costumes in game in the same location as all your other costumes and giving constant reminders through some kind of ubisoft store virtual currency it constantly gives out any time you do anything in game.

    Large day 1 patch for the physical version that fails to address game breaking issues.

    significantly more expensive than other versions of the game.    … Expand

    Fun game. IF your game save doesn't corrupt meaning you can't complete the game you paid for.

    Worst than 1st game. Complicated quests. Battles are really boring And repetetive.

    Just one thing. They censored all "unacceptable" content for EU users. And this the gist of south park

    Utter garbage. Cannot believe this was made by the same people as Stick Of Truth - terrible story (excluding Cthulhu in the police station mission), walking around without fast travel is insanity inducing (the load times between maps screens are ridiculous 45 seconds on average!!!) and the greatest sin of all - just not funny. Randy boss battles excluded. Wine drunk randy rules. But IUtter garbage.

    The switch version of South Park: The Fractured But-Whole is a great conversion and it shows once and for all that even Nintendo consoles can have games with adult content.

    South Park: The Fractured But Whole brings an amazingly accurate representation of the South Park universe to the Nintendo Switch with all the gems that the series is known for. The gameplay is that of a tactical RPG with countless character customization options and which will keep players entertained for a long time - thanks to the loading times, one can almost say the game's lifespan is extended.

    South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a game like its name. It's fun. With Switch, It's more fun, because you can touch the fractured but whole.
