South Park: The Fractured But Whole Reviews
An excellent RPG and the best South Park game out yet... but not the best port due some slowdowns and minor bugs. Despite that this one is a more than welcomed adittion to Nintendo Switch game library.

Watch it—or, better yet, wait for someone to edit a full run into something even more watchable.
South Park is back. The Fractured but Whole becomes the perfect experience if we are fans of the TV show and, at the same time, we want to explore the city and fight in hard (but accesible) fights. With a new turn-based combat system, the game becomes closer to the Fire Emblem style, which makes it deeper.

A great sequel with much more going on, and is built with a lot of love and respect for the series it comes from.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole doesn't remake the wheel that The Stick of Truth crafted so well. The first game made for a near perfect South Park experience, with bare bones RPG elements to make it all work. This sequel does mostly the same, only tinkering with a few things, making for a different but just as enjoyable final product.
The longer South Park: The Fractured But Whole went on, the less I laughed. Exploring the mountain town, however, is a delight, and the battles are a marked improvement on the original's combat.
The grid-based combat adds the layer of complexity that The Fractured but Whole needs to stand out from its excellent predecessor. You'll still need to be a fan of the show to get the most of this. But if you are a South Park aficionado, The Fractured but Whole is another hilarious and fun game that captures the spirit of series.
It won't win any new converts to the show, but long-time fans are in for several hours of serious snickering
With the combat system and the way it's actually trying to make a point with its exploration of social issues, The Fractured But Whole does improve on its predecessor in some ways, but it quickly starts to coast, relying too much on familiarity to get by.
South Park: The Fractured but Whole captures the very best of South Park. The creators have woven irreverent and offensive humor seamlessly into an outrageous and entertaining RPG adventure. By making the leap to the Switch, the Coon and Friends can now be played on the go, but at the cost of slower load times. Even so, this is a raunchy superhero epic no fan should miss.
In the end, I'm struggling to find negative things to say about this game. From start to finish, South Park: The Fractured But Whole had me in stitches. It's the perfect of blend of smart and silly. It is magnificent and absurdly ridiculous in a way that only South Park can pull off. It's the best possible excuse to laugh about everything and everyone you know you're not supposed to.
South Park: The Fractured but Whole builds upon the success of The Stick of Truth, delivering an equally hilarious look at superheroes while upturning many video game tropes.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a funny, over the top role-playing game that perfectly transfers the critically acclaimed TV show into a video game medium. Despite some issues, The Fractured But Whole nevertheless is a fun and hilarious ride.
The Fractured But Whole is a solidly good RPG game that incorporates the South Park attitude with a lot less “in-your-face” crudeness than The Stick of Truth. It has a better fighting setup, an easier-to- digest storyline, and is still laugh out loud funny at times. What else do you need from a South Park game?
South Park: The Fractured But Whole for Nintendo Switch allows you to finally play while sitting in the toilet. Sadly, the re-release does not contain additional content and suffers from a number of technical problems that Ubisoft promises to patch in the future.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is an amazing game also on Nintendo Switch, despite the long loading times, and some problems in the docked mode (a bit of aliasing and fonts a little bit too small for comfort). A wonderful experience for all the South Park fans, but only if you don't have the chance to play it elsewhere.

Despite some shortcomings, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is an excellent RPG with a fascinating comic storyline, funny characters, interesting abilities and a system for creating artifacts and clothes. The creative approach of developers to game situations and great humor make this project one of the best in 2017.
