South Park: The Stick of Truth (2014 Video Game)
3/10
As a fan of the show, I regret playing this game
9 May 2024
I'm not sure why this game was made. Every major joke is just a retelling of the biggest jokes from the show, but in a longer drawn-out format, broken up by combat and running around a map. There were 11 major arcs and it took me 22 hours to get 100%, so that's like dragging each 20 minute TV episode out to 2 hours long... The game might be intended for people who didn't watch the show and only wanted to see the highlights, but finding a list on Google of the best South Park episodes to watch would be more enjoyable and take less time than playing this game. The game does have original jokes, some of which made me laugh out loud, but they are too sparse to make playing the game worth it.

The gameplay itself is fine. It's essentially a ripoff of Paper Mario, which works well for South Park's art style. Achievement hunters will be VERY annoyed as there are dozens if not hundreds of missable collectibles, so you will need to heavily rely on a walkthrough guide if you want to complete the game in a single playthrough (and trust me, you won't want to play it more than once).
