Both are used pretty interchangeably, as you join Cartman’s “Coon and Friends” superhero franchise, develop a tragic backstory (you walked in on your dad having sex with your mom), and use your infamous fart-based powers to fight crime in South Park. The ever-silent New Kid soon gets a new name though: Buttlord. Then Cartman decides fantasy is gauche, superheroes are the new game of the hour, and you’re booted down to “New Kid” status again. You’re still dressed as king actually, enjoying your last few minutes as the most powerful person in the realm. The Fractured But Whole picks up right after the first game. The kids of South Park have ditched their wooden swords and garbage can shields for towel-capes and jokes about The Avengers.Īnd you know what? It works pretty damn well-at least when you’re not battling software bugs. Sequel South Park: The Fractured But Whole ($60 on Amazon or Steam) takes the same tack, but this time satirizing superheroes. Twisting genre tropes to fit the tone of the TV show, Stick of Truth reimagined a typical fantasy RPG as a child’s game-one where magic came from farts, elves wore glued-on Spock ears, and a backyard became a vast woodland realm. In 2014, Obsidian made probably one of the all-time great licensed games (admittedly a low bar) with South Park: The Stick of Truth.
