tonyum Review of South Park: The Fractured but Whole

South Park: The Fractured but Whole (2017 Video Game)

A great game based on a great series

[9/10 · 26 January 2018]

Well, this is it, my first videogame review ever. Now, if you want to know my history with South Park, then I´ll say that the show is great and you pretty much know why, as for the PS1 games and Tenorman´s revenge, they´re games I never played but I won´t because they don´t look like i would enjoy them, and as for The Stick of truth, that´s a game I would rate a 9.5/10 and you´ll see the reasons later. The plot of this game is about The Coon going back in time where The Stick of truth left off, he goes there to unite the other Coon friends to go on a mission to save a cat called Scrambles before the Freedome Pals get a better franchise than them, while this is going, the New Kid finds out that a crime chef has been putting drugson peoples drinks to cause crimes, and now the Coon & friends and the Freedom Pals must join forces to stop this crime chef. What more do I need to say, this game was funny, had a good story, has the best character variety in a South Park so far, the controls are fine, the animation is pretty acceptable to consoles like the Xbox One or PS4, the grid combat system was well made and I really enjoy the Time travel farting abilitie the New Kid has. Really the only issue I have with the game is that the story can make it seem like a ripoff of Stick of truth, but speaking of that, this game is not as good as The Stick of truth: 1. The fact that you can make your own team during battle can give the game more strategy and that makes combat a bit easy to win, 2. The story of the game is way too serious, unlike The Stick of truth which is silly and that´s what made it work, in here, there is no silly stuff happening and rather more action and that almost makes the game a not South Park game and that says something, 3. You can´t block any moves that give you damage, that means that you will get loads of damage and you will sooner or later die, and that makes combat infuriating because you can´t make your foe´s attack damages low because you can´t block, 4. The puzzels feel way too easy to complete because in these puzzels, you just have one thing to do and that´s really it, the only thing that improved from The Stick of truth was that it had more characters to play as but that´s just one compared to four reasons this game isn´t as good as The Stick of truth. Overall, while this isn´t both a perfect game and not the best South Park game ever, it´s still a game that you should check out even if you don´t watch South Park.
