South Park™: The Fractured But Whole™ Reviews

Its so much worse then first one, if you want only interactive South Park episode then maybe buy it.. but if you played first one and hope for more i cant recomend this, in first one you explore the world and you can find new wepons, armor, perks to put in to them and junk to sell, every one of these items is plesure to pick up, they all have they own sprite and they are relateable to place you find them in. SP TFBW has nothing from this, there is so much costumes and every singe one is useless, they are pure cosmetics, you can easyli finish game with starting outfit, making your "build" revolves around getting highest number, when you get in to combat its ok you have little more strategy involved then in first game. Worst part is, its Ubisoft game.. when you have gold edition you get the best costumes, "gear" and resorces from the start, making exploration even more redundant. Btw you cant play pooping minigame on PC its made for contoler and highest tier minigame is imposible on keyboard.

I have never written a review for a game. So, thats my first. Never, ever in my life I felt so much pain, anger, resentment and hate just for trying to play a video game. I was a big fan of the first game, so I thought, try the second one. WHY I NEED A ********* UBISOFT ACCOUNT??? [i]Why do they have to make it so difficult?[/i] Cant accept my age, my username, my strong(!) password. IMHO nobody has the right to extract my personal information as a customer. They go way to far to analyze every logindata to make sure its absolutly free of southpark related words or any other non childfriendly stuff - in a SOUTHPARK GAME! IT'S NOT MADE FOR CHILDREN! Trey and Matt made even fun about corporate greed in their own show. Now they have aligned more and more with greedy business practices like streaming services and selling mediocre games. I wont go on this tangent, just look for yourself how many new episodes we've got in 2024. I played 3 hours in the game with a previously made ubisoft-account, so I cant even get my money back. I just care so little about that account, that I cant tell wich email or name I used. Paradox also wants you to make an account, but at least its somehow optional. I loved the funny, but strategic combat with Quick-Time-Elements in the first game and spent a lot of time completing every encounter. But I couldnt get used to the whole fart mechanic thing for doing damage in this part. I know, it also played a role in the first game, but now it seems to be more important. I would like to see for myself if I could have gotten any further, but I just hate this privacy-invading corporate-greed Ubisoft Account bull**** linking way to much. Wich, btw, prevents the game from ever beeing free abandonware. Well, I vented enough and deleted this game from my steam library, so I dont have to remember this tragedy ever again.

A tacid recommendation; Combat feels a bit too stale and samey; functional, with occasional fight that actually tries something new. New power-ups don't feel as significant as they should be. Plot is basic South Park nonsense (basic social commentary or lack thereof, and such). Pacing-wise feels a bit dragged in the middle, picks up the pace in the last third. Stick of Truth had better pacing imo. Sorta like metroidvania, unlocking abilities to progress through map, or discover shortcuts. Streamlined picking-up items, unlike SoT, no inventory limit (if there is didn't encounter one) so you are pretty much hoover for items (had 999+ crafting components in the inventory), there is crafting had to use few times. Stable game, encountered only two bugs: 1. In one fight I could freely move, even outside grid, after attacking it got resolved. 2. Gamebreaking? bug. At one fight game simply got stuck on enemy's turn. Restarting from last checkpoint and waiting didn't help, even restart didn't work. Only when pressed windows key for some reason combat continued. A lot of faffing around, there are things to do but ultimately felt a bit hollow, there were side missions that were more fun than not, though a lot of collecting stuff. Overall good time kill, you can easily complete game in like 17h.

definitely has replay value this is my 10th completing this game is doesn't get old, adding on the dark humour never gets old either.

This game is basically a continuation of The Stick of Truth with the story line. The battles are a bit different in this game with more complexity in selecting your "super power" and 4 battle moves but it's not hard to get used to. It is weird that they removed the running feature but not a deal breaker. If you enjoyed The Stick of Truth you'll enjoy this game.

Great game. Ubisoft launcher requirement is ridiculous. If you're traveling and trying to play on a handheld, trying to launch in offline mode is awful.

Ubisoft Connect it's pretty annoying, but the game itself it's super nice! :) I loved the super hero story line

absolutely amazing game, jokes might not be for everybody but if you can handle satire its super funny. great dialogue and game play, lots of collectibles. fully recommend the game.

This uplay launcher trash is cancer. Just let me open the game or don't make a game... Ideally the game is adjusted to just open through steam (the platform it was purchased on, so weird) but someone needs to spy on my computer and have a memory hungry launcher do literally nothing it needs to do because dev's said "lets do this awful idea" and didn't listen to anyone who went to 1st grade. I wanna come back to this game for fun but will not mess with that trash

Ubisoft connect/uplay/whatever the hell sucks and when outtages occur, it impacts your ability to play this single player game because for some reason, it always needs to be online
