South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a video game sequel done right, it doesn't change much but changes enough that it impressed me even more than the first game.
A good game, and a good RPG, but not as memorable as its predecessor.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole improves and does pretty much everything the former did well: it's funny as the animation, it has consistent and accessible mechanics that makes it a great experience for both franchise fans and those who just want a good strategy turn based game, showing that the Ubisoft San Francisco team is solid and managed to deliver a title that is not only a great South Park adaptation, but also an awesome game by itself. It's one of those 'more of the same' that we can not complain about.

Though mechanically The Fractured but Whole can feel rather flat, it remains a genuine South Park production with all of the humor, farting and ridiculousness you would expect, and that should be enough to satisfy fans - even if it doesn't wow them.
An enjoyable and funny game especially for fans of South Park, but even those unfamiliar with it will find a unique game, although it's unique compared to competing games but a bit too similar to the first game.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole is a funny and exciting sequel for The Stick of Truth, that improves all the flaws of the first chapter by adding some interesting new features, especially in the fighting system. While the story evolves in a slow way, especially in the first few hours, the game can be easily enjoyed for several hours thanks to the atmosphere and references to the original TV show.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a polished and improved sequel to The Stick of Truth, but we're still ambivalent about the Marvel Cinematic Universe parody angle.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole has everything fans would hope for, and is a well crafted turn-based RPG to boot. Put simply, this is the funniest game I have ever played, period.
The social commentary in this game is pretty spot on and I got more than my own fair share of laughs, even at my own expense at times as some jokes hit close to home. The fact that this is an RPG that plays really well and has a solid and surprisingly deep battle system is just the icing on the cake.
All in all, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a solid follow-up to the original game. It doesn't change too much, but the new combat system is an improvement over the original, and it retains the same sense of irreverent humor and love for the franchise as the first game. TFBW is a solid RPG on its own merits, and fans of South Park will find a ton to love here. The only thing that drags it down is feeling a bit too similar to the first game despite the differences, and some of the humor can fall dangerously flat. It's a fun, solid, and well-made licensed title that captured the good and bad of South Park while managing to craft an enjoyable gaming experience. What more can fans ask for?
Overall, the Fractured but Whole delivers what we want for a sequel for The Stick of Truth, better gameplay and a bigger world, customization is really polished and combat is fun as hell. This may not be as funny as The Stick of Truth but this game deserves a spot on the funniest games of this year. I never thought a South Park game would be so good at being RPG game, it came as a big surprise that probably blew everyone’s mind as well. As an RPG, this also is a contender for the best RPG of year, risky but a smart move by Ubisoft. South Park is a big success in the TV world, and I’m proud to say that it dominates the game world as well, I hope to see more of South Park soon.
It’s not perfect, and anyone expecting a colossal leap from the original might feel a little underwhelmed, but on its own merits, this is the sort of daring, bravura craftsmanship the industry could use more of at this time of the year.
It’s difficult to recommend this title to anyone without much knowledge of South Park, because the experience is suffused with material only fans will fully appreciate. This is nevertheless one of the occasional licensed titles that actually does its source justice, and is an incredibly easy recommendation to anyone who likes RPGs and has some appreciation for Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s amazingly long-lived series.
The cleverly titled South Park: The Fractured But Whole builds on the legacy of the first game, improving on many elements but also taking a few steps backwards.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole successfully continues the story of The Stick of Truth and is more than a good stepping stone for the epic conclusion. That's of course presuming that Ubisoft won't stretch the franchise too thin.
