Question for those that bought the game.

[shadowthief011]

Ok here is an honest question for those that have bought the game because I am very reluctant on buying this game due to the 3D graphics(it just doesn't feel very South Park to me) and rumors that the humor has been severely toned down (in comparison to what was in the show and previews 2d games).

And here is the question. Is this game worth it for a South park fan that enjoyed "Stick of Truth" and "Fractured But whole" games? Or am I bound to be disappointed if I buy it?

You're gonna get a wild set of different answers but sure it's worth it, i bought 2 deluxe editions for me and my partner and i'm certainly not disappointed, its only $30 base game and enjoyable, maybe they have tweaked the humour a bit, can't say I've really noticed yet but it is only a 16 rated and on Nintendo switch.

They can't really just send out an 18+ rated postal2-esque level of offensive and have it sell, it's just not smart business, that may upset some folk but they are making games to make some money.

The first south park game was 3d years ago, i actually looked forward to this because of that, so exactly the opposite to yourself, because to me that's what a southpark game looked like for a long time.

You will get a good enough idea in 2 hours, so there no harm in purchase and refund if really not having fun, i think you will though.

Ok honest criticism and I'll break it down by positives and negatives:
Positive:
-The games fun, it's a classic beat em up.
-Upgrades allow you to play around with different builds every run and the dark matter system does make it a bit rogue-lite.
-Coop adds a lot
-The 3d is way better than I expected it to be. I'll be real when the trailer for this first dropped it made me cringe a bit as well with concern moving away from the show graphics aspect but they pulled it off.

Negatives:
-The game is relatively short with 5 core missions but there was free dlc day one (if it wasn't free this would be a huge negative) that basically doubles the length of the game but none the less compared to "Stick of Truth" and "Fractured but Whole" it pales in comparison for game time.
-The combat while fun isn't the most strategic thing in the world. I'd say boss fights do alleviate this a bit but mostly you're looking at button mashing being pretty key here unless they tone up ranged combat a bit which can feel underwhelming unless your build leans heavily into it.
-The humor is toned down, while there certainly have been some good crude jokes (I've only beating mission 4 so far of the core and none of the expansion so I could be wrong here) it does thus far not go nearly as far as the former two installments.
-The weapon selection is a little lack luster with only 6 options (3 ranged, 3 melee) hopefully they expand upon this in future dlc.

All in all I think it was worth the 30 and depending on how many expansions they come out with and if they keep producing content at the rate of the first DLC I'd justify the season pass price as well.

Long story short, It's fun with friends

[YoungButtonMash]

youll be dissapointed but its still fun and whimsical. lacks entire story or jokes though ign wasnt wrong about that.

Don't go in expecting Stick of Truth or Fractured But Whole and you'll be fine. Most of the people disappointed in the game are because they went in with super high expectations when we've known for a while it was going to be short like playing an episode of South Park.

[Vault Traveler]

Its more like castle crashers in 3D, the content is on the short side, which is definetly something we had to adress.

But honestly the graphics and the humor, are VERY south park.

It having some south park elements is the only redeeming quality about this game. And yes they're very toned down. I play a lot of variety in games so im not fanboiing over any particular genre, because overall i dont really get into turn based, but the others are just very well done. Even after playing a lot of variety I cannot condone this excuse of a game. The music, gameplay, and jokes are a true meh at best. It's barely South Park to me.

is someone actually asking if SOUTH PARK IS WOKE, have you ever seen south park. It is independent, and calls out idiots on all sides.....the way it should be.

To be fair, it kinda is in comparison to their other work

I actually LOVE the art style in this game. The gameplay is extremely boring and repetitive though, which is the most important thing. Unfortunately it's obvious the studio thinks customers are stupid and will buy based on IP alone, and I feel they were correct and have succeeded on that point. I bought the game based solely on past performance, which were amazing games, I should have done my due diligence first. Shame on me.

I'll keep it short, save your money

Lesser of the 3 games.
