Review nolar2018 3/5 · Jul 13, 2020
Anything you could want!
If you made a checklist of anything you could desire in a South Park video game, this has it. An original story as funny as the show, simplistic but fun gameplay, pitch perfect graphics. Characters on point, nearly all of thema re useful, and overall a very fun time

An awesome and totally fun experience. I really do not have much criticisms against it. The gameplay is extremely fun, and never seems to get old. The characters are all really fun and unique.

The characters are all really fun and unique. This is an absolute must play if you are a fan of the show. As others have been saying, it's as if you are a part of the show and are playing through your own little episode. I really enjoyed the semi-open worldness of the map too! It's so cool to be able to walk around the town in the show, in it's same art form. The voice acting is great and the story, of course, is awesome!

Review RxBrad 4/5 · Feb 2, 2019
It's South Park
Primitive, but fun gameplay -- with core mechanics very similar to Super Mario RPG on the SNES. It's turn-based battle that depends on you timing a button press to a small visual cue. Attacking is fairly forgiving, but blocking attacks can be tough to pull off.
The game feels like a long episode of the show, except the network censors …

The game feels like a long episode of the show, except the network censors were locked in a closet somewhere. How they managed to avoid an AO rating is beyond me.
They managed to cram almost every conceivable South Park reference into this game, from the characters, to the show references in every throwaway piece of junk you scavenge. Seriously, I don't know what's left for the sequel (but then, I've really only seen the first few seasons of the show).

Genuinely hilarious
I don't generally like the idea of humorous games but I like South Park and I love Obsidian so I gave this a bash and don't regret it one bit. I still crack up sometimes when I think about parts of this game (audio logs in particular) and it's a rock solid RPG.

Better than the show!
Pros:
-- Feels just like playing an episode of the show
-- One of the funniest games I have ever played
-- Loads of references for long-time fans of the show
Cons:
-- RPG mechanics end up a little light and shallow
-- Missable collectables, affecting trophies/acheivements
-- Not much reason to replay, as various classes tend to benefit from …

Read moreAn all too rare licenced gaming success, Stick of Truth allowed the creative minds behind the television show to take full control here, resulting in possibly the funniest game ever made. The South Park world is fully realised and completely alive, the graphics are pitch perfect (well, as far as replicating the intentionally crappy animaton from the show, it certainly is) and the RPG gameplay, while overly simple, is a riot and addictive as all hell. Simply put, if you're even remotely interested by the South Park universe, you owe it to yourself to play this game. I haven't laughed this hard while simultaneously mashing buttons for a long long time.

9/10
If you're a fan of South Park you should dig this. It has a couple flaws but the charm of the game kept me coming back.

Had a really good time with this game. Conceptually, it's Super Mario RPG. Actually, combat-wise it's Super Mario RPG, with the "Tap A right before you strike!" and all. It takes the JRPG formula and boils it down to a form digestible by those with no experience. This makes the game very easy to those of us with a background …
Read moreHad a really good time with this game. Conceptually, it's Super Mario RPG. Actually, combat-wise it's Super Mario RPG, with the "Tap A right before you strike!" and all. It takes the JRPG formula and boils it down to a form digestible by those with no experience. This makes the game very easy to those of us with a background in JRPGs, but honestly I liked it for that. Sometimes steamrolling a game can be fun. I can'r speak for your enjoyment if you have not watched much South Park. The game is deep with references to the show and without that knowledge you might be lost. Also, I can imagine that the subject matter of the jokes can be too much for some. I'm not the hugest South Park fan. I mean, I like it but I haven't watched all of it or anything and I got 95% of the jokes and enjoyed it thoroughly. I found it mostly funny and at the very least quaint. Some really good shots are taken at game tropes like audio logs ans Nazi zombies. Recommended for everyone with a passing knowledge of South Park, and people who fondly remember JRPGs but don't have the time or patience these days to dive into one like they did as a teenager. It gives you a good JRPG feel without 90% of the bullshit.
