Although the game borrows a lot of elements from the first South Park RPG, there's still enough new content to keep players invested. Acting as the sequel to South Park: The Stick of Truth, this zany adult adventure is packed with shocking jokes, wonderful visuals, and all your favorite characters from the show.

It still retains some inherent issues with the Ubisoft South Park format, but it does its best to iron out any of the kinks it can that were present in the first game.


Really the biggest negative that can be thrown at The Fractured But Whole is the fact that it is a sequel. And while low-brow humour can be an effective form of entertainment, the show has done a much better job at presenting its ideas beyond the low hanging fruit found here. It’s hard to go even a couple of minutes in The Fractured But Whole without encountering some sort of shocking piece of toilet humour.

And while this authenticity to the original show is commendable, there are certain issues when translating to gameplay opportunities.
