South Park™: The Fractured But Whole™ Reviews

South Park: The Fractured But Whole successfully builds upon its predecessor by blending the irreverent humor and social satire the series is known for with a surprisingly deep and engaging turn-based RPG experience. Developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, this game carries forward the sharp wit and outrageous style of the South Park TV show, while expanding the gameplay into a more polished and strategic combat system. It manages to capture the chaotic spirit of the franchise while giving players a robust, enjoyable role-playing adventure. One of the most impressive aspects of The Fractured But Whole is its combat mechanics. Departing from the more straightforward turn-based system of the previous game, it introduces a tactical grid-based battle system that requires careful positioning and strategic use of character abilities. Each hero class offers unique powers and synergies, encouraging experimentation and thoughtful team composition. The combat is both accessible for newcomers and satisfying for strategy enthusiasts, with battles often feeling dynamic and challenging without becoming overwhelming. The game’s narrative shines with the trademark South Park irreverence and clever satire, focusing on the kids forming their own superhero factions. The story is packed with hilarious dialogue, unexpected twists, and plenty of references to pop culture and comic book tropes. Beyond the humor, the game also explores themes like friendship, identity, and the consequences of power, adding emotional layers beneath the comedic surface. The writing is sharp and consistently entertaining, making the story as engaging as the gameplay itself. Exploration and world-building are other strong points, with the open-world South Park map offering numerous side quests, collectibles, and character interactions. The town feels alive, filled with familiar faces and new characters that enrich the overall experience. Players can customize their hero extensively, choosing from various costumes, powers, and gadgets that influence both combat and exploration. This level of customization allows for a personalized experience that caters to different playstyles. Despite its many strengths, The Fractured But Whole isn’t without flaws. Some side quests can feel repetitive, and the pacing occasionally drags, especially during segments heavy on dialogue or fetch missions. Additionally, while the humor is a highlight for fans of the show, it may not appeal to everyone, particularly those unfamiliar with South Park’s style. Technical issues are relatively minor but present, with occasional frame rate drops or long loading times on certain platforms. Overall, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a successful sequel that expands on the foundation laid by its predecessor. It combines sharp satire, engaging tactical combat, and a rich world full of familiar characters to create a memorable RPG experience. Fans of the show will appreciate the humor and references, while RPG players can enjoy the thoughtful mechanics and customization. It’s a unique title that stands out for its bold personality and surprisingly deep gameplay. Rating: 8/10

This game is just like watching the actual show in the sense that it makes me feel like my brain is decaying

When you cant play the game czu Ubisoft grabage is not letting u start the game or make a account:)

Don't buy this. Ubnisoft has a broken launcher, and no customer service. The game is literally unplayable as it will not launch. At all. I dont want money back from steam, I DEMAND IT FEOM UBISOFT! (the thieves)

It’s official. I’m an ultimate yaoi collector, my achievement says so. Game-play: 10/10 | Story: 9.5/10 | Music: 10/10 | Replay-ability: 9/10 Overall Score: 9.5/10 After watching South Park I felt obligated to also play the games that pay homage to the show. It’s not required to watch the show, but it makes it a little more hilarious and heartwarming if you do. By itself it's an amazing game, and between TFBH and SOT I adore this one just a little more. You can play either game first, but I would recommend starting with SOT (it was also fantastic). My favorite character was definitely Craig and his I don’t give a shit attitude. I couldn’t stop laughing at the interaction between Kyle and Cartman (and pretty much everyone else) around the end of the game. Also, any game where I can beat the crap out of [spoiler] Butter’s dad [/spoiler] will get a positive rating from me. I’m honestly a little sad that I finished it all. Including the DLC. [spoiler] The one with Jimmy/Timmy/Butters was the better of the two DLC in my opinion. The second one with Kenny/Cartman was just okay. [/spoiler] Also, while I would generally pull a big thumbs down for ubisoft, I loved the game too much, and other than one incident where my game crashed, I had no issues. But I still don’t like Ubisoft, be aware you need to install their garbage to play the game. >.>

Как по мне, единственное, что в этой части лучше "Палки истины" - боевка. А сюжетная часть на удивление слабая. Просто вспомните сколько безумных сцен было в "Палке": сцена с гинекологическим креслом, анальный зонд и Рэнди, уровень на кровати родителей Новичка, путешествие в глубины мистера Мазохиста...

Games can't be played while offline because your stupid launcher, but you sometimes will update the fucking launcher and the least fucking thing i want to do after a fucking long day is to wait for your trash stupid idot launcher. and the third assassin class mission have a fucking bug after years of launching, but you don't fix it and instead update a 3 fucking dlc mission. I love southpark, what a great franchise, unfortunately the ubisoft is the one who get the right to make the game, fuck you ubisoft, now just go on with your woke agenda, no wonder you get bangkrupt

I would recommend to someone who loves comedy rpg turn-based games. Obviously since it's South Park there's gonna be so much out-of-pocket parts in the story that you would probably find somewhat disturbing. The creators of South Park clearly have no shame in what type of content they like to put out and I guess that's what makes them unique. Its definitely funny. The gameplay is better compared to SP: The Stick of Truth but I think the story might be a bit worse. Every time you feel like you're getting close to the end of the story, there's another 2 hours of story to play. Overall Rating: 6.1/10

i love this game its well written has fun gameplay if you can handle the plauge on your computer that is ubisoft connect 9\10

The only game where my butt is both a weapon and a plot device. I'd get grounded again for farting so hard I broke time itself.
