It’s silly, but it adds an extra dimension to the game that I really appreciated.Īs you can imagine, South Park: The Fractured but Whole still has the traditional South Park humour in place where nothing is ever off limits and just about anyone might find themselves offended. The only way you can get more followers is by having a selfie with each person you meet, though you often have to complete a task for them in order for them to do this.
Coonstagram is South Park’s favourite social networking site and dictates just how popular someone is – the more followers you have, the bigger your reputation. Of course, you can’t just dive into being a superhero without earning a reputation first, and that’s where ‘Coonstagram’ comes in. As you’d expect though, the quest to find the cat-nappers becomes more absurd, epic, and ridiculous the further you progress through the game, but it always manages to remain utterly entertaining. You’re still the New Kid and you’re still King following the events of the day before, but things take a turn when Cartman (in his Coon alter-ego) decides that it’s time to play a new game – one of superheroes!Īfter re-forming Coon and Friends and allowing you to join in on the action, you’re tasked with one job: finding out who has been kidnapping the many cats of South Park in order to get a $100 reward. The story of South Park: The Fractured but Whole more than less carries on directly from its predecessor, with the children still playing their game of swords and sorcery. Outside of those differences, both games share a lot of similarities one of which is that they were both delayed a lot up until release, and the other (and most significant) being that they’re both great games. Whilst South Park: The Stick of Truth offered a turn-based RPG twist on the fantasy genre though, South Park: The Fractured but Whole brings superheroes to the fray as well as a new tiled-based combat system.
Whilst it was a great game though, I never expected to see a sequel, so when Ubisoft revealed South Park: The Fractured but Whole at E3 2016 I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve always been a fan of the South Park series ever since I first graced my eyes upon it as a nine-year-old back in 1998, so naturally I fell in love with South Park: The Stick of Truth when it released in 2014.
