South Park: The Fractured but Whole was a pure joy to play from start to finish & packed with non-stop laughs. do not play this game if you are easily offended! It is populated with so many of the shows familiar faces & even though I haven't really watched South Park in a while, there was still so many references that I was able to relate to. Navigating the town itself, along with the fantastic voice work - it is such an authentic re-creation that you often forget your playing a game. The town of South Park itself has been painstakingly re-created to the point it feels like you're watching a 15 hour long episode of the show. There is also a basic crafting system where you can craft new costumes, consumables & upgrade items. The RPG mechanics them self are simply turn based combat that is set on a grid system, usually involving you and 3 other members of your team. The side quests are usually trivial fetch & retrieve quests for the colourful characters of South Park but there are a few that will grant you rewards that will make your game-play experience easier. These areas usually require you to gain a new special ability that will help you progress through towards the boss fight at the end of each area. The main missions will usually end in a "dungeon" like area a strip club, Italian restaurant, police station & a genetics lab to name a few. Within each of these chapters you will split your time between side quests & main missions. The game is broken up into chapters that are separated by you re-living your origin story where you acquire new superhero powers each time. The plot sees Cartman (aka The Coon) task his team of superheros to find a missing cat in order to claim a $100 reward that he will use to create his own version of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), that includes movies with multiple sequels & Netflix shows - it's utterly bonkers!
It's a wacky take on the whole "Marvel vs DC" fanboy culture that takes over social media so much these days. The Fractured but Whole is an RPG that riffs off the superhero themed episodes of the TV show such as The Coon, Mysterion Rises & Professor Chaos. It sees you take control of "The New Kid" (who you create) & quickly find yourself a member of "Coon & Friends" one of the games two superhero factions, the other being "Freedom Pals".
