Critic reviews
- TechRaptor9.0Overall, the game is enjoyable throughout and has made me rethink licensed products in gaming. Those interested in replayability may find the game lacking, as most can be seen in one playthrough. If playing all classes is something you wish to do allocate roughly 100 hours (I could think of more shitty ways to spend 100 hours). I recommend this game to any South Park fan, RPG fan, or video game fan. Ultimately, everyone should give this game a go.

It is also a great RPG, with a fun combat system and plenty of side quests to keep you entertained. Starting with the visuals, they are excellent. The game looks just like the show, and the attention to detail is impressive. Every character, location, and item is perfectly recreated in the game, and it all feels authentic to the South Park universe. In terms of sound design, the music is great, and the voice acting is top-notch. Every character sounds just like they do on the show, and the sound effects add to the overall hilarity of the game. The interaction and control of the game are also well done. The interface is easy to navigate, and the controls are intuitive. The combat system is turn-based and adds a new element of strategy to the game. The mechanics of the game are also solid. The feedback is immediate, and it is always clear what your next objective is. The variety of quests and activities keeps the game fresh and engaging. Finally, the characters and narrative are where this game truly shines. The writing is hilarious, and the characters are all perfectly realized. The game is filled with references and easter eggs from the show, and it truly feels like you are playing an extended episode of South Park. Overall, South Park Stick of Truth is a must-play for any fan of the show, as well as any fan of RPGs. The game's visuals, sound design, interaction, mechanics, and characters are all top-notch, and it is sure to provide hours of entertainment.
