The developer behind Neverwinter Nights 2 and Fallout: New Vegas uses its RPG expertise to lure the world's most foul-mouthed elementary schoolers back to consoles in South Park: The Stick of Truth. Featuring a script and voice acting from series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and designed to mimic the 2D cutout animation of the TV series, The Stick of Truth puts players in the role of a new kid in town who goes on an epic quest full of exploration and turn-based battles, all to earn status and become friends with Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny.
The action mixes fantasy and role-playing tropes with trademark South Park humor as gamers battle ManBearPig, underpants gnomes, and hippies, among other scourges of society. Players can recruit classic series characters to join their party, each with unique weapons, armor, and magical skills. Characters can also be customized with hundreds of different weapon and clothing combinations.

Not even kidding. This game had me so hooked right from the beginning that I spent 12 whole hours tackling the quests and exploring the town! The graphics are literally so exact that it looks like you're playing an episode of South Park there's not any inconsistencies at all! It's pretty easy to play with minor challenge for battles making it fun for most people if you keep the difficulty on normal and the quests arr totally authentic to the show. I mean this game literally could not have been any better if it tried. I can't wait to play their next one!
It's a great game for easy trophies but it's the buggiest version i've ever played, i suggest you get your trophies done quickly in one playthrough and try the other classes on PC or maybe PS4, had to relaunch the game several times to get pass some glitches. As for the game itself it's fun, any South Park fan will enjoy it.
It’s just like an episode of South Park, except interactive. You may not like the name Cartman bestows upon you, but this is a fun, breezy take on an RPG. Highly recommend.
Everything you'd expect... and that's a good thing!
Comedically crass, delightfully distasteful, and all around fun... it's an episode of South Park that YOU can control... and a damned fine episode at that!
