South Park: The Fractured But Whole Reviews
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.
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.
The switch version of South Park: The Fractured But-Whole it's a great conversion and it shows once and for all that even Nintendo consoles can have games with adult content.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole is still fun to play on the Switch, but a number of technical issues prevent it from being anything more than a simple port.
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.
I wasn't surprised to find that the game had little to offer after the credits rolled, and that's fine. A South Park game doesn't need to be Skyrim; it only needs to spout ass jokes and politically incorrect caricatures at any given frame, and in that, The Fractured But Whole succeeds wildly, with tight, coordinated scripting from Parker and Stone. If watching a near-day's worth of an interactive adult cartoon isn't your bag, literally any other competent RPG will fill that crack, though.
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.

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 is like a 20-hour episode of South Park. A satirical take on superhero films, it looks, sounds and feels the part – for the good and the bad. Essential for fans of the show, not for those that are easily offended. And absolutely not for kids!
Cartman returns once more to inject some crude one-liners into a South Park turn-based RPG game that'll have you grinning from ear-to-ear from beginning to end. If you can deal with all the loading times you have a very loud and proud fart indeed.
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.
If The Fractured But Whole is your first South Park game, you’re in for a treat. If it isn’t, you’re still in for a treat. Just don’t expect it to surprise you as much as the last one did.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a good game buried beneath some crassness. The mechanics are perfect for newcomers and veterans alike to the turn-based JRPG-inspired gameplay, and while the story isn’t as good as it should be it holds the space between battles together nicely.
When addressing some hot topics, you must have the intelligence. The pungent irony of South Park is exhilarating, able to entertain without falling into banality. The open world system is functional and incredibly enriches the entire game. Superheroes all over the world, join in the sound of fractures!

A fantastic addition to anyone’s gaming collection, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is as laugh out loud funny as it is offensive, featuring a brand new combat system, a gripping storyline and with a surprising amount of replay value. However, The Fractured But Whole can often be confusing and will sometimes feel repetitive.
Despite the massive overhaul to the battle system and more subtle changes elsewhere, TFBW feels like a very safe sequel to The Stick of Truth. It’s still a great journey with characters that fans of the show know and love, but I am unsure why this game was delayed so much when it appears to have re-used a lot of the assets from previous.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a solid sequel to The Stick of Truth. It does nothing special in particular but provides an entertaining plot lasting for about twelve hours.
