There arenвЂ™t many turn-based superhero RPGs out there. I donвЂ™t think itвЂ™s quite as successful at marrying its meta-satire with its game elements- Stick of Truth was a send-up of fantasy RPGs, and Fractured But Whole doesnвЂ™t work on that level. South Park: Fractured But Whole improves on that foundation, for the most part. A lightweight one, sure, but Stick of Truth still had satisfying turn-based combat, an excellent feel for exploration, and so on. Of course, Stick of TruthвЂ™s appeal laid in the fact that underneath the South Park veneer was an RPG that was actually competent. Given that the game releasing on Tuesday has obvious references to Donald Trump, Member Berries, and other fairly recent South Park fodder.well, just how much was rewritten in the past ten months? On the grid Remember: Fractured But Whole was supposed to release in December of 2016, then was surprise-delayed until this October. Side note: I have to wonder how much of the plot coalesced in the past year or so. But itвЂ™s a solid framework for its best jokes, with some excellent send-ups of Marvel and DC comics along the way.

That usually relies on some combination of вЂњPerfect TopicвЂќ and вЂњTimeliness,вЂќ neither of which a game three years in development can rely on. An award winner? An all-time South Park classic? Nah.

And as you might guess, the kids inadvertently stumble upon real corruption while trying to save some dumb cat. The main story revolves around CartmanвЂ™s Coon and Friends and the rival superhero franchise Freedom Pals as they hunt for Scrambles, a missing cat with a $100 reward. Those bits still exist in Fractured But Whole, but no longer feel like the be-all-end-all. вЂњNow you fight the penis mouse! Now you meet Al Gore! Collect Chinpokomon!вЂќ It was fan service sans context. One of my biggest complaints with Stick of Truth was that at times it felt like just a parade of disconnected sight gags. IDG / Hayden DingmanДЇractured But Whole is admittedly better about telling a story around its references, though.

Member Berries, PC Principal-all the most notable gags from the last few seasons make an appearance. Swearing aside, much of Fractured But Whole is taken straight from the show. This is South Park unbound by FCC regulations or time constraints, which mostly means an abundance of uncensored swearing. If you think South ParkвЂ™s humor is boring and trite, or (gasp!) offensive? Fractured But Whole wonвЂ™t sway you. That paragraph should really tell you all you need to know about whether youвЂ™ll enjoy this gameвЂ™s humor, I think-provided 20 years of South Park werenвЂ™t already enough. Both are used pretty interchangeably, as you join CartmanвЂ™s вЂњCoon and FriendsвЂќ superhero franchise, develop a tragic backstory (you walked in on your dad having sex with your mom), and use your infamous fart-based powers to fight crime in South Park. The ever-silent New Kid soon gets a new name though: Buttlord. Then Cartman decides fantasy is gauche, superheroes are the new game of the hour, and youвЂ™re booted down to вЂњNew KidвЂќ status again. YouвЂ™re still dressed as king actually, enjoying your last few minutes as the most powerful person in the realm. The Fractured But Whole picks up right after the first game.
