South Park: The Fractured But Whole – 81
Best 2017 Ubisoft Games According to Metacritic
It would be easy to mistake South Park: The Fractured But Whole as nothing but a whimsical video game that plays the tropes of its famous license. But not only is this brilliantly written game one of the funniest ever made, it’s also an extremely entertaining RPG experience with surprising depth to its systems. The Fractured But Whole’s combat starts basic, but it soon evolves into something much more complex than the previous game’s.
Of course, the story and characters are its standout quality. The various parodies that comprise the game’s narrative deliver genuinely funny moments, and although some of the jokes miss the mark or feel slightly out of place, it’s almost as good as the television series throughout.
Yes, there are some slight problems with navigating around The Fractured But Whole, and some of its simple puzzles mechanics repeat themselves enough to become ever so slightly frustrating, but overall it’s an excellent South Park game. In fact, it’s just an excellent game in general.
