This is an enjoyable action RPG (very light on RPG elements, think Paper Mario or Mario RPG) that is great to play on handheld. This game can be enjoyed on its own but really shines for fans of the series with its many references to the show's legacy.

If you played the stick of truth you know what to expect here. Definitely one of the most mature games you'll see on the Switch

Amazing romp with Kyle, Cartman and friends in an RPG adventure. If you like Southpark and RPGs, this is a must have. It's convenient playing on the switch with headphones in this one :)

My review is a little biased because I’m a HUGE South Park fan, but I really loved Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole. I do have a little nostalgia for Stick so I don’t like Fractured as much, but I do feel it greatly improved on the combat and some of the story. I do miss collecting Chinpokomon though. Unfortunately, I don’t believe the Switch version is the best. If you haven’t played it before and only have Switch, you should definitely try it, especially if you love South Park. There’s weird loading times between battles that wasn’t present in the Xbox/PS4 versions.

Like the first game, The Stick of Truth, this game is like playing an episode if not an entire season of South Park. Looks perfectally like the show. Graphics are spectatular for what is trying to be achieved. The humor is classic South Park and the story follows the show plot points but throws in tons of new material.

It's a nice enough port plus the game itself is quite fun if you like this kind of comedy. It does its job in terms of expanding the combat of the previous title, even though the plot gets kind of lost at the end.

The humor is there, the aesthetic is there, the production is (mostly) there. I enjoyed 75-80% percent of the game, but ran into several crashes. I also found the last leg of the game to stretch a bit too far out and dulled the experience. The battle system is fun and the powers kept me interested. The strategy is fairly shallow, but more depth likely wouldn’t fit the vibe of the game.

I have enjoyed South Park FBH when I originally gotten my hands on it. It's funny, full of crude jokes of all sorts which makes it great. The gameplay is solid and best of all it finally came to the switch. Problem is I can't play the game at all until there is a patch released. I haven't been able to make any progress.
My issue is that there are bugs that make the game a nuisance, and there is one particular bug in the game with call girl where you get a never ending load screen. I am all for supporting developers but this was a poor port that should have spend more time being worked on.
I say hold off on buying the switch version until there is a patch for the game. Otherwise pick it up for another console. I'm not happy that I paid more than $40 for this game when it has been on sale for other platforms for a third of retail price. You may want to wait a while before buying this I have had the game since release and there has been no patch released or even any mention of one from the developer.
Switch version gets 3 out of 5 for now until the game breaking bugs are all patched.

Happy to see the switch getting 3rd party love, and I made sure to support the massive corporate publisher. Seriously though, it's important that publishers see the switch as a viable platform. This game is pretty great, but it does seem to have some serious slowdown as certain points in handheld mode. Also the loading times are a bit long, but honestly nothing too bad yet.

I wouldn't call this a great game I would call it a "good" game. The story is very unique which is great. The gameplay is fun, but does become very repetitive at times. I give 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5.
Still fun game overall though. Easily provides about 30 hours of gameplay

If you're a fan of South Park, this game really does play like a long episode of the show. It is MUCH more raunchy and disgusting than the show is allowed to be. Lots of cursing etc. but it isn't too much.
If you're not a fan of South Park or that type of potty humor, I'd stay away. Let the rest of us enjoy it. Keep it away from young kids!

Forgive the cliche, but I've never reviewed a game that better deserves it: The Fractured But Whole is a game made for existing South Park fans. Those fans are going to eat it up, and those predisposed to hating the show aren't going to be convinced by Ubisoft's take on things.

Now THIS is a game where the creators of the franchise actually cared. The amount of details, references and jokes that this game has is just...too overwhelming. Oh and the music....talk about a great soundtrack. Different OST for different battles makes fighting so refreshing. There are so many ways to customize your character, from attacks to looks. Almost every character in south park exists in this game, from older episodes to newer ones. There's so much more to say about how great this game is. I feel bad buying the game at a discount. If you like, or know, south park and you're looking for a good game with lots of content, then definitely check this game out

I loved this game a lot. After the Stick of Truth, this was a fantastic follow-up. The gameplay was great, and I loved the amount of customization options. The humor was also great. If you like the show, you'll probably like this game.
