South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Developer: Ubisoft San Francisco
Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC
Release Date: 17th October
With the only news about The Fractured But Whole hitting your favourite game sites seemingly being delay after delay after delay, your average gamer would be forgiven for thinking that we may never get to play the sequel to 2014’s The Stick of Truth.
A breath of fresh air when it comes to games (or anything, really) based on something else. You didn’t need to be a fan of South Park to enjoy, or even love, the first. Those with a fondness for crude humour found themselves right at home within minutes as the town’s voiceless new kid. When I was given the opportunity to name our protagonist, I proceeded to spend a good ten minutes agonising over what to call him (before settling on something that I can’t even remember now, although I’m sure it was witty and brilliant) only then to have the game take it all away from you and decide your name would be Douchebag!
That’s the kind of humour we’re looking at here. And with a fresh new engine, a revitalised and updated battle system, and a metric ton of new insults, we will finally get our hands on this hotly anticipated sequel a little over a year after it was originally due to come out.
Really looking forward to South Park, feels like it’s been ages since they announced it to us actually getting it.
It does feel like it’s been in delay Hell for too long.
I can’t wait to finally get my hands on it, October is gonna be expensive!
