    Review: South Park the Fractured But Whole

    While it's mostly more of the same, some new mechanics on top of an already excellent base make The Fractured But Whole a must have for any South Park fan.

    Only South Park would dare to name their game after an asshole, but that's precisely what has established South Park as one of the most important television shows of all time. Never one to disappoint, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have built South Park around always touching on sociopolitical issues and current events, in the same ways Matt Groening's Simpsons have. Both shows have been far more relevant and much more tenured than the majority of shows on television, and they're both animated cartoons, though their appeal doesn't reach the same audiences.
    [...]
    If you didn't care for The Stick of Truth, you probably won't like The Fractured But Whole either. The experience is mostly the same aside from some mechanical differences, but it's still a terrific experience that South Park fans are going to continue to enjoy for quite some time. Oh, and to poke fun at the idea of their own season pass? There's a bus line called DLC where people are seemingly waiting for stuff to do. Genius.

    The Good
    • It's like playing an interactive episode, yet again
    • New mechanics revitalize combat
    • Crafting is a nice touch instead of hording junk
    • They added the 'Member Berries
    The Bad
    • The game assumes you're already familiar with the show
    • Being so similar to the previous game, some might find it to be too samey
    • The writing can be a little incoherent at times
    Score: 8/10
