    me llamaba la atencion y no lo habia comprado. el juego mantiene toda la escencia de south park. lo que desanima mucho es que tiene muchas ventanas de carga, tiene un glitch en una parte del juego que no me deja hacer una mision con la escort. el juego es muy facil en general. me desanimo que no trajera el stick of true como las otras versiones. en lo general buen juego.

    Fractured but Whole is a great game that is definitely worth playing, but don't play the switch version. This version suffers from lag, incredibly long loading times, and a **** ton of bugs. Like how in the most recent update they completly screwed up the sound and it won't play in fights anymore, sad since the music in the game is great. Just play the Xbox One or PS4 versions instead,Fractured but Whole is a great game that is definitely worth playing, but don't play the switch version.

    I'm glad I got this on sale because it is not worth the $60 they are asking for. I feel like all I do in this game is fight and it gets incredibly boring and tedious. it's like they didn't want to add as much story so they just added more fighting. If I didn't avoid the 6th graders, Raisins girls, ninjas, etc, I would be wasting so much time just fighting and being incredibly bored.I'm glad I got this on sale because it is not worth the $60 they are asking for.

Also, on the switch the loading time between scenes is really long and annoying. Also, the potty humor is tiring, I hope if they make a third game that my superpower is not farting. People are all raving about the improved combat style, but I don't really see what the big deal is because it's not all that better and they invested way too much time in the fighting for this game. Other than that it's a pretty funny story-line and interesting game, but pretty boring and annoying at times.… Expand

    Nowhere near as good as The Stick of Truth. This misses what made the original so good by concentrating more on combat gameplay over actual content. It isn't as funny or enjoyable. It feels more like a game than a Southpark episode.

    That said, it isn't bad and I am enjoying it. The premise is fun enough, but the execution is mechanical rather than entertaining. The tie ins to existing episodes feel forced rather than being amusing nods to the show in a new story.

    Underwhelming given the quality of the first, but definitely playable!    … Expand

    This game is too long. I liked the prequel length-wise a lot more, but this game has the better and deeper combat system. Story is also inferior compared to the prequel and less creative, it mostly copies its predecessor in a bad way. Especially the end feels like a horrible stretch which left a bitter aftertaste. If shorter, this would be a solid 7/10.

    A solid game. The super hero elements really call for fun gamplay. However I do feel the story lacks.

    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.
