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.

New systems and combat evolution make South Park: The Fractured but Whole an improvement from its already great predecessor.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is not as fresh as The Stick of Truth, but for fans of South Park it's a must-buy. The story is interesting enough to make you eager of what's coming up next, and the battle system has improved.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is the epitome of a sequel.

The only area in which South Park: The Fractured But Whole can't compete with The Stick of Truth is surprise. There's nothing here that will rival the childish glee we felt seeing 8-Bit Canada for the first time. But it's still riotously funny from start to finish, and on top of that there are some genuinely poignant moments in the game that we weren't expecting. With a much improved battle system and a larger, more well-rounded cast of characters, The Fractured But Whole is practically everything you could want from a Stick of Truth sequel. And there's a bunch of fart jokes, too.

In terms of a raunchy, dirty, filthy, cuss-filled RPG that pushes the boundaries of comedy, no one does it better.

Much like a shart, The Fractured but Whole continues to surprise as the game of superheroes goes darker and cruder than anything else the kids of South Park have experienced.

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?

Essential point, if you’re a South Park fan then you need this game! Nowhere else does a game like this one makes you, the player, the star in an episode of the popular South Park TV show.

The port brings the heroic feeling successful on Nintendo Switch and makes a shameless impression despite technical deficiencies.

The Switch version of South Park: the Fractured But Whole is a straight port. It's a good game that will appeal to anyone who has a love of violently tolerant rednecks and children caught up in increasingly bizarre situations, but a few loading time issues stop it from being the best way to play.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole may be a tactical RPG but it's, first and foremost, a South Park episode turned into a game and which does a marvelous job at portraying the cartoon series. While its appeal will be far greater to fans of the series, the game possesses a wide variety of customization options for characters, as well as a respectable lifespan...even more, if the loading times are included in the process.

Though there are a few very minor polish issues inherent in the Switch port, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is imbued from top to bottom with an insane level of authenticity that's truly faithful to its irreverent source material.

The Fractured But Whole delivers exactly what you would expect from a South Park- game: ribald humor and numerous Easter eggs. Technical issues and repetitive mini-games dull the experience, however.

Like its predecessor, "South Park: The Fractured But Whole" proves that games based on popular entertainment properties don't have to be soulless cash grabs. It doesn't quite have the new car smell of Stick of Truth and the humor can be crass and outright mean, so it won't be for everyone. Strong dedication to the source material, however, combined with the obvious love and care to do right by South Park fans make this a can't-miss game, whether you're a loyal viewer or an old fan who hasn't seen the show in a while.

The Fractured But Whole is more of the same. It's occasionally hilarious, but often misses. Not even an updated combat system and interesting new skills can disguise that fact that it is just The Stick of Truth in a different and less-interesting costume.
