South Park: The Fractured But Whole is an excellent RPG with a South Park skin. If you love the crass fourth graders and their adventures as much as I do, then chances are you're going to have a great time. If you're more of a tangential fan, you'll probably still find a lot to love. But if South Park isn't your bag of tea, then the gameplay alone may not make this one worth your time.

Critic reviews
- And while the slowdown is noticeable and certainly distracting, I only experienced it in some areas while exploring and never while engaged in combat. There are other areas that could use polishing, but putting up with the little annoyances was worth it to see the game through.
- To top it off, these moments are mild in comparison to what else the game has in store. After all, this is a game in which the colour of your character’s skin will determine the overall difficulty. With plenty of hours worth of content, tons of dialogue, heaps of crude humour, and a progressively solid battle system, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is certainly a must for fans of the series, both old and new.
- 8.0While it’s a fair few months behind the releases that graced other platforms in 2017, the Nintendo Switch version South Park: The Fractured But Whole isn't diminished by its later arrival. While it’s no great leap from the mechanics of the first game, it still offers both an ideal introduction for players looking to try out a turn-based RPG and a worthy addition to any genre fan's collection.
- 8.5South Park: The Fractured But Whole for the Nintendo Switch is the same phenomenal game released back in 2017. It captures the essence of what made The Stick of Truth amazing and built on it to create an outstanding adventure themed after superheroes. This version does suffer from frame rate issues and longer load times but if you're a fan of the show, own a Nintendo Switch, and never played The Fractured But Whole you owe it to yourself to pick this up. If you love South Park you'll relish South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
- A fantastic addition to anyone’s gaming collection, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is as laugh out loud funny as it is offensive, featuring a brand new combat system, a gripping storyline and with a surprising amount of replay value. However, The Fractured But Whole can often be confusing and will sometimes feel repetitive.
Gamer reviews
Although Repetition may drag this STRONG RPG, South Park The Fracture But Whole Is Still an Epic South Park Story with an Amazing Combat and Variety Of Powers to Mix and Match added the Shows Form of Comedy, This one is Purely Awesome.
Plays great on the handheld console. It is funny through and through. For fans of the television series you're bound to recognise much of the action seen in the game. This was a fun nostalgia trip that I could definitely recommend.
Not a bad game, not a good game. The GAME! Although there is a lot of loading and waiting with walking to different areas, it isn't terrible. There are plenty of funny and good moments. I have a lot of fun exploring the different houses and I think it is one of the best RPG games out there. Plus, I got this game for $20. Rated G (for good).
