The video game "South Park: The Fractured but Whole" has been released, and the reviews have been steadily coming in. Developed by Ubisoft, the game is a sequel to the 2014 game "South Park: The Stick of Truth," and like it, it aims to raise more controversial and rib-tickling moments for fans of both the animated series and role playing games (RPG) in general. However, how does it hold up to its predecessor?
In a game review by Mirror, the writers of the games and the series, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, have surpassed themselves in terms of controversial material that can be found in playing the game. Players will find themselves fending off pedophile priests, experience what it is like to be a modern day social justice activist, and other relevant social commentary that many others may find offensive.
"South Park: The Fractured but Whole" had undergone a lot of delays due to the creators deciding to add more content in the game. From the looks of it, the game is worth the wait. According to VG 24/7, the video game has snagged mostly positive reviews, and is scoring decently in other gaming sites. This is a very good sign, especially since critics and fans alike were doubting that the creators could replicate what they had done in the first game.
In an in-depth review, Kotaku stated that "South Park: The Fractured but Whole" is a game that can be easily recommended to any of the animated series in terms of its humor. Additionally, its gameplay has taken a turn for the better as well – albeit not as fresh and innovative as one might expect. Overall, the game is still a good one in terms of the role playing elements of the turn-based gameplay.
Fans can now immerse themselves in the shenanigans of the whole cast, since "South Park: The Fractured but Whole" is out.
