    The Brand New South Park game has been released, South Park: Snow Day, and unfortunately unlike the Stick of Truth or Fractured But Whole, it's been universally panned, so today I'm taking a look at it to see if the criticism is warranted!

    I feel like what made Fractured But Whole work was that South Park had changed a good bit between it and Stick of Truth's release. There was enough to really shake things up. That really isn't the case here. Snow Day was arguably cooked because the source material was run dry. Not saying South Park fell off (it's a bit inconsistent tho). It's just that you can only make so many games based on the same thing before you realize there's little new to go on.
    Edit: To be clear, the lack of original material is no excuse for the gameplay to be as repetitive as it is or the landscapes to be so barren.

      Yeah, South Park is the name of a town, but the game doesn't really care about this fictional geographic entity. The intro cinematic couould have been about the characters sent in another place instead of being about a snowstorm and the rest of the game would still work.

    With the small amount of levels, lack of checkpoints, random card perks, and trying to get players to replay already existing levels, a part of me wonders if this was intended to be a Roguelike at some point, but then that idea got scrapped. If that's what happened, it's a shame, because just having a lack of checkpoints and random upgrades isn't what makes Roguelikes fun. The genre thrives off of quick runs that encourage the player to try and try again until they get it right, not off of one boring level that takes an hour to get through. The random upgrades in Roguelikes are meant to encourage players to find new strategies and synergies, instead of just relying on what works like what happened in your playthrough. Progress also needs to happen very fast in a run so that the player has something to latch onto, rather than constantly feeling weak all the time. Honestly, if this game *had* gone the Roguelike route, with levels that only take about 20 minutes to beat but encourage multiple playthroughs, it maybe wouldn't have been too bad.

    I grew up in middle school when South Park was brand-new and they were banking off its sudden explosive popularity with merch like T-shirts and of course videogames... The N64 FPS game was... ok, but largely forgettable as it was clear they never playtested it since like the final boss was just about impossible to beat without invincibility. Once the Stick of Truth was out decades later, it felt like they finally got it right making a South Park game that actually FELT like you were playing the show.
    This... It feels like they were so focused on making a trilogy and with the first 2 games being in 2D, they did the common and obvious thing from the 90's with "instead of a South Park 3, let's make it a South Park 3D!" like they did with other franchises like Earthworm Jim... with... seemingly similar results.

It's just really limiting to view licensed games in that way, so I can’t agree.
      I like that South Park tried going 3D again, I just wish the execution of the 3D visuals and obviously the game itself was better. I'm sure South Park could pull off a great looking 3D visual style for a game. The new intro already does literally that.

      that xbox hit and run style game probably could've worked if it was released.

      @@_Tzer That game is a huge reason why I'm all for a 3D South Park game. Literally my dream South Park game, and there's no way it would work nearly as well in 2D.

    20:40 I'm confused... Kyle and Eric's voices DID come on their respective sides here for me. I'm not using headphones, I'm using my stereo speakers, but it's playing the audio in the right tracks for me on your video at least. I even had to watch that part twice to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding what you were saying.

    In my opinion they should of had a game based around owning a restaurant. Be it Cartman Burger or Dikin Baus.

    this game really brought be back to a simpler time where you either got decent games or games like these and there were many, nick toons unite, fairy odd parents, teen titans. licensed videogames that wasn't the best or wasn't the worst but you played them for the fun hanging with friends or seeing your beloved IP in a different light or interactable. I've seen an interview with the creators saying they wanted a more simple multiplayer game since one show creator already got the game type he is into which is rpgs where the other likes multiplayer. yes this game isn't as good as the others but if you want a game that feels like that play that. but for someone that likes rouge likes and multiplayer games where I can just enjoy time with my siblings or friends this is exactly what I was looking for a game i can beat in a day with my buds and experience it in a genre i love as well. I hope the dlc makes it more enjoyable for the mass audience that didn't like it but for me I'm glad I got this game and hope to have my option help anyone else that felt like I did. yes only 3 weapons per type but play a rouge like its usually from 3 to 6 characters to choose from and the dame repetitive cards its just the genre we are in but for what they made and being the first they made I definitely enjoy it and still have it downloaded on my ps5

    Matt and Trey must've really phoned it in whith this game. Because so far, nothing about this game feels like a step up for the first two. They strayed too far away from the established formula.
    Even the title "Snow Day" feels generic when "Stick of Truth" and "Fractured But Whole" felt like unironic appropriate titles for a South Park Game

      While the hate this game is getting does sort of bring me down, I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed. _South Park_ has been running for a very long time, so Matt and Trey might be running out of ideas for other parts of the show's franchise aside from the show itself since there's always new ideas to implement as it stays up to current events. I'm actually starting to notice that the amount of hype that was brought up for this game makes it feel more like a cash grab for the _South Park_ franchise if anything (kind of like how _Daria_ has a game called _Daria's Inferno_ and it was poorly received), especially considering how the collector's edition is like, $200. The talking Cartman toilet paper holder is funny though.

    The AI can't revive you?
    Remember Republic Commando... On the original Xbox?
    A game which gave you 3 intelligent AI teammates, who would actually revive you if they got the opportunity?

    There already exists a third South Park RPG. It’s a mobile game called South Park: Phone Destroyer. Play that instead of this, it’s completely free.

    I thought it was alright, underwhelming but alright for a $30 game, I don't think the 3d transition was bad like everyone says, I actually think if they do another game, I'd like for it to be 3d again but more open world
