South Park: The Fractured But Whole Reviews
A brilliant satire on modern pop culture with an engaging story and a great sense of humor. That's the newest South Park game for you. [OpenCritic note: Adam Grochocki separately reviewed the PS4 (9) and Switch (7) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is an excellent RPG with a South Park skin. If you love the crass fourth graders and their adventures as much as I do, then chances are you're going to have a great time. If you're more of a tangential fan, you'll probably still find a lot to love. But if South Park isn't your bag of tea, then the gameplay alone may not make this one worth your time.
The port brings the heroic feeling successful on Nintendo Switch and makes a shameless impression despite technical deficiencies.

When I first picked up South Park The Fractured but Whole, I knew the humor and overall tone of the game would appeal to me, even being a relatively lapsed fan of the series.
Has South Park: The Fractured But Whole been Switched? The answer is yes as the Nintendo Switch version works quite well on this console.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a good fit on Switch, though some noticeable technical issues highlight the sacrifices made in order to get it on the hybrid system. That said, what's here is a great South Park adventure — one fans of the show should certainly check out if they haven't already.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole still is a very fun and entertaining game. Its style remains the same on Nintendo Switch and this is the best version if you want to play wherever you want.

While it's a fair few months behind the releases that graced other platforms in 2017, the Nintendo Switch version South Park: The Fractured But Whole isn't diminished by its later arrival. While it's no great leap from the mechanics of the first game, it still offers both an ideal introduction for players looking to try out a turn-based RPG and a worthy addition to any genre fan's collection.
During my time with South Park: The Fractured But Whole, I have been attacked by hillbillies for being cisgender, trapped in a dark room with two randy priests, and somehow managed to bend time and space with my own flatulence. To top it off, these moments are mild in comparison to what else the game has in store.
If you love South Park you'll relish South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a fantastic follow up to the Stick of Truth, its a must buy for any South Park aficionado and still a blast for everyone else. Ubisoft took the development in house this time and didn't disappoint, its well written with a giggle every few moments, the game isn't perfect with a few small bugs and the sense that the difficulty isn't there to support the games mechanics and some might argue the value but overall this game is just a blast.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a good game, but fails at living up to the expectations set by its predecessor The Stick of Truth. Unfortunately, the gameplay was padded so much with filler that it killed the pacing. In Ubisoft's desire to make a Triple-A blockbuster, they instead weakened something that could've been a Double-A masterpiece.
South Park, The Fractured but Whole is an uncreative game with a terrible plot filled with forced and unfunny jokes. The battle system from the original was demolished replacing it with a new shallow one. This game somehow ended up being much worse than its predecessor.
if like me you’re a fan of the South Park TV series, then you’re going to love South Park: The Fractured But Whole
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.
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.

With Mario + Rabbids and now South Park: The Fractured but Whole, Ubisoft has made it perfectly clear that is the master of Spin-Offs and maybe should be more focused on this kind of games in spite of AAA games that need at least 2 years of support until becoming what they should have been in the first place.

For dedicated fans of the series, The Fractured But Whole is an essential purchase. It greatly rewards those who have an extensive working knowledge of the past twenty years of the television show. Fortunately, it is also finely crafted enough that casual and lapsed fans who might have left the show behind but still have a fondness for it will find plenty to enjoy about it.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole successfully continues the quality in adapting South Park to a video game, capturing everything great about the series and once again translating it to an hilarious and enjoyable RPG. The comedy will not be for everyone, and so it makes it hard to recommend the game freely, but for fans of South Park, this game cannot be missed.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is hilarious and mechanically superior to its predecessor.
