I had fun initially.. until I found out the hard way that if your team dies, you have to start the ENTIRE STAGE ALLOVER AGAIN. That sucked balls. Also, I suspected something was wrong when I found Henrietta the goth girl. She just seemed so... bland. Way too upbeat.
I streamed the game, and had the same Tabard glitch/issue. I think it was supposed to happen, since at the beginning of the mission the "villain" is supposed to be secret. Then after you beat it, or fail (like i did... 3 times on normal due to bad RNG cards the other team got.) it became the true colors of the villain.
Dude recommends 3 Packs of smokes. How old is he? I was born in the 80s and do not smoke. But game wise you played the single player version I guess. Ya that part needs the low scores. It is interesting mutiplayer is nice dlc was free. But I did hear solo speed runing the Platinum is a bad time. So not shocked by your review. They need more then cosmetics for the achievement currency. But you are right this game could be so much better.
When you have any level of semi open world gameplay, you NEED to have interactivity everywhere. Emptiness is BORING. Ironically, SOT and TFBH both had interactivity everywhere.
The only game I have ever played to this day, where emptiness works, is Shadow Of the Colossus, and that is a 20 year old ps2 game, most open world games, fill every nook and cranny with as many things as they can possibly do, and it just overwhelms the player.
The fact that this game isn’t listed on Question Games’ website is telling. They were aware of the game’s imminent reception. Gotta wonder what circumstances they were dealing with. Their previous two titles aren’t nearly as dire, and had some cool concepts, so hopefully they can bounce back from this. They’ve definitely demonstrated themselves to be capable of better
True if the additional content and DLC includes further polish and balance updates then maybe the project could be salvaged somewhat, cause if it gets fixed to the point of being fun and on quite a discount on a sale, it could get a second life to prove itself.
If I had to guess I'd say they had funding pulled. THQNordic = Embracer. This game was in development when Embracer's shitty deal fell through. Embracer has now killed tons of studios.
I remember watching Dokibird play this on release. She went from "The critics are wrong" to "The critics are right" somewhere halfway through the game.
The 4th used the 5ths flag to hide cartman betraying you Same way the 2nd flag isnt Kenny's when first starting out until after seeing kenny being the boss I think they did that as the have an option to hide spoilers which i don't get how that would work outside of the flags
Anyone else think it's wild that licensed games have evolved so much? I remember back in the gamecube era and before, most licensed games were about this quality, with good games being the exception. Now, we're at an era where one of the most important fighting games was a Dragon Ball game. It still sucks that this game isn't that great, but it's crazy just how far we've come.
The saddest part is that a third RPG centered around a more winter wasteland setting of the town could have been really awesome. This feels like to me when XCOM decided to release an FPS game and everyone was like "...why, we already loved what you did with keeping the series closer to its roots"
I really think someone had the idea to bury the town in snow so they wouldn't have to create a fleshed-out, explorable map. I also think Matt and Trey have just fully checked out on South Park in general, and I can't really blame them at this point.
Speaking of the menu looking like some low budget esgop game. Yeah, most of the UI also looks like placeholder graphic, that was never replaced. Look at 09:38 when you're picking power ups, look at the top right. That shit is default text font and takes all of 1 minute to code. Also also, as for the the entire game looking bland and repetitive because of the snow, i agree. Which is a shame because previous games have had snow levels, snow levels which were some of the most beloved levels of their respective games
The consensus about this game is this it seems. it was made by THQ nordic some time after Matt and Trey signed a 900 million dollar deal with ViacomCBS back in 2021. Matt and Trey would look in the the game at certain points and give there input at certain stages of development. Matt and Tray are much more involved with other projects, like their Casa Bonita restaurant and making new episodes and specials as part of the deal they signed. So because of the above they likely didnt have much time to be more involved with its development. Another massive factor I heard from another creator Called LS Mark is this. Matt and Trey wanted to redeem themselves with the South Park games in general, since there are a lot of bad games out there. So they put a lot of time into the games Stick of truth and fractured But Whole. Did you know that Stick of truths script was originally 800 pages that had to be cut down to 500! Since many feel that the previous games, Stick of Truth and fractured But Whole have much better writing and story quality ( it feels like it could be an episode of the actual show) and pacing, again this is because Matt and Trey put all their effort into the games and had the time to do so. Snow Day feels luster in quality ( and rightfully so) They likely didnt write the whole story of the game and didnt get to decide what type of game it would be maybe? Thus the jokes, story and its pacing are not as great as the previous two games. One final thing. I think a lot more people like the RPG style of game from the previous 2 games much more than the style of this one. I really do like the rougelite gameplay style of Snow Day. Snow Day seems to be another one of these live service attempts of games as the game is only £24.99 and they have said that there is more DLC planned. I dont lik this idea at all. In truth, if the game launched and had more than 5 hours of content, say 8 hours of so, with some better story pacing and such it could have been so much better overall.
After watching several reviews that all say the game is good and doesn't deserve the hate, it's refreshing to see someone reflect my opinion. This wasn't just a disappointing experience compared to its predecessors, it is a genuinely awful game. Lucky for me, I didn't have to play the whole thing to make a video about it, so I got a refund.

@@superoldgamesaturday3277 Okay, I have to put my foot down on something. Snow Day is Disappointing, yes, and it's severely lacking in content... HOWEVER, one thing this game is NOT is a "Disaster" as some have called it. In my opinion, a "Disaster" is a game that is overflowing with bugs and glitches; examples include Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk 77. And those two recent pokemon games as well. At the very least, Snow Day is functional. I've only experienced one weird glitch out of the whole thing.
The problem is they missed why people loved the last games. We liked having a playable epsiode of South Park with tons of references to the show. This feels more like a basic game with a South Park skin thrown on, ironically like the N64 game
Im confused why anyones mad it turned out to be shitty. The previews of it alone made me say nah. This is trash. They showed us how bad it was out the gate.
Probably on the back of how good South Park: The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole were, people thought the days of bad South Park games are over. Now, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have lost all right to ever complain about Acclaim's South Park games ever again.
@@hotcupococoaThe previous good games were Ubisoft but Ubisoft only published the Stick of Truth, it was actually developed by Obsidian. Ubisoft did make Fractured but whole though.
I've looked at several reviews and this is the first console one; I didn't realize it looked so much worse than the PC version. That version isn't visually amazing either, but at least it has shading and the snow doesn't look so flat.
I don't watch South Park, but I still couldn't help but check who developed this game just to see who it was since THQ obviously can't get the original developers of the RPG games, and I was actually flabbergasted. What do you mean the developers of this game also made The Magic Circle?! That's an actually good game! Apparently in between that and Snow Day, they have only made 1 other game, and according to Steam, that's good too. I'm going to guess they either weren't given that much time to work on it or something else. Also, an important note on the pinball tables (aside from me not playing them): the versions of them available on Pinball FX4 uses the new "Pro" physics, which can definitely make or break your experience with the boards. Trust me, cause I'm still extremely mixed on them! It's still great that these pinball tables are not going to be lost to time anytime soon, but I'm sure some people wish they had their original physics. (Also can't believe they haven't made Pinball M versions of these tables)
Yep. I was thinking the same thing. I looked up the developer and saw their two games reviewed well. This just seems like a Rise of Kong situation as the devs on that game had made like 2 good indie games before that but were forced to develop Kong in a short time with barely any funding. Or maybe it was in development and had all funding pulled so they released it in a not finished state. THQ Nordic was purchased by Embracer, then that stupid deal they (Embracer) had fell through and now they are killing all the studios they picked up because their CEO is a freaking moron who makes deals without having the actual cash.
Looking it up I'm sure Embracer is behind this. Another awful game that was recently released was the Battlefront Classic remasters which was done by Aspyr who are owned by Embracer.
Yeah, it looks bad. I looked up the developer and it was made by a small developer with only 2 games under their belt however those two games were reviewed decently. I'm wondering if this was a case of a game being thrust on them with no time and limited funds ? Seems like it to me.
@@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments >2 games under their belt Better than Skull Island. Then again, those guys have something fun coming out with "Amazing Crackpots Club"...
I remember when it was first announced it was gonna be in 3D, people thought it’d look like the intro for the show they’ve been using the last 10 years, or something that looked like Yoshis crafted world, that would’ve been awesome! That’s the only way I can see South Park games going “3D”
The main thing that disappointed me about this game was the premise. In _The Stick of Truth,_ we had knights and kings. In _The Fractured but Whole,_ we had superheroes and supervillains. I was excited to see what they'd do next, like maybe cowboys and Indians or perhaps anime ninjas like in that one episode. Then, the game was announced, and I was like "Oh, it's just D&D again. That's cool, I guess..."
If South Park Snow Day's post launch support includes further polish/bug fixes and balance updates it could make the game fun and maybe even make the project salvageable only if they can improve it immensely so on top of a discount during a sale like half off or something like that then this title could get a second chance.
I was so hyped when I heard the announcement for the new game last year. It’s so disappointing to see the quality of this game drop drastically compared to the previous two games. I don’t think the game is *that* bad but it’s definitely overpriced for what it is and it’s definitely not polished enough to reach the golden standard they set with the last two.
The only way i can see the games redeeming themselves is if they make a third game in the style of the other two rpgs and then make a comment about this game not mattering, sort of like when they switched from playing fantasy to superheroes at the start of fractured but whole. Just toss a lampshade on it and move on.
Most likely money. Because greedy money hungry corporations needs to make money back for their awful idea of acquiring tons of studios when they didn't have the money to do so. All the releases by Embracer owned studios lately have all been half finished (Graven, Battlefront Classics collection and not Snow Day.)
When I played this game one of the enemies glitched underground and I was softlocked which wouldn't be bad if there was actual checkpoints but there aren't any and the missions go on for so long and I had to start over from the beginning of the mission I litterally gave up on the game right there
Here are some games that cost half of what they are offering or less: Hollow Knight Stardew Valley Undertale Fallout New Vegas Enter the Gungeon The Binding of Isaac Rebirth And many more I didn't list because im lazy.
I think people are overly set on a 2D game, an open-world style 3D game would have been sweet. They really dropped the ball on this one… Now there isn’t a chance in hell we’ll ever get a good 3D game from them.
honestly the visual style of this game couldve worked if it was way more flashy and stylish, like mixing 2d and 3d elements together to create a 3d environment couldve worked suuuper well with south park, atleast imo.
I hoped someone I liked would talk about this on RUclips! I knew seeing its price point it would be rough cus if it wasn’t they would’ve charged full price
This should've been a 2-D tactics game like Advance Wars/FF Tactics. That would have made sense. Hell, I would have accepted another Tower Defense game over this.
U would think the third game would be something like a 4 player coop bulders gate in maybe a 2.5D type game then have snow day as a spin off or something.
Bought this day one. I liked the story, but it played like a well made mobile game or maybe a free to play game. It'd be fun if they made it pvp, but it's barely set up for a single player run through. Definitely a step down
Looking at SOT, then looking at Snow day it just screams cash grab to me. They have all these character houses and never used them for locations for Missions, Shops and other ideas
>South Park and snow >the franchise's first game was middling and centred around an apocalyptic snow day Sounds like snow is a bad sign for the South Park videogames...
Bruh they literally said they were burnt out and didn't wanna make a really long flushed out rpg shits fucking hard so yea they was lazy but that was the whole point
So this game has bullshit attacks the enemies can use...and they literally call it Bullshit. I don't know whether to laugh or throw the game in the trash.
I just can't help but wonder what happened behind the scenes. It's one thing for this to be a bad game but this almost feels like a prototype rather than a full game. I just gotta know what happened for this game to turn out like this.
From looking it up and trying to connect the dots I would say it's all on Embracer. That deal they had with the Saudis fell through and now I think they are releasing all the games they had in development half done and closing tons of studios. Graven and Star Wars Battlefront Classic were also half done messes which were also done by Embracer owned companies.
You are most likely correct. I think this was released half finished and Embracer is behind it (They own THQ Nordic). Another recently released game that was awful was the Battlefront Classic 'remasters' which was done by Aspyr who are owned by Embracer.
@@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments Embracer's... "Embrace" has been rather loose since that sordid attempt to reboot Saint's Row. At least ShortFatOtaku unveiled that meddling by hypersensitive executives done that game in.
@@Code7Unltd The Saints Row Reboot was also 2 years ago. Before that deal they had with the Saudis fell through and they started closing down every studio and game they had in production. Every release of Embracer owned studios this year have been broken and half finished. It's clear Graven, the Battlefront Collection, Kingpin Remastered and Snow Day needed much more work done. It's like these were released to try to make some money back. You can definitely see a pattern.
Penny's Big Breakaway costs about that much at full-price and is more fun by leaps and bounds (knowing how it's a platformer, you could take that literally).
@@denysvision true. But what made the first two game because it felt like a episode of South Park and looking like show makes the game more. True the 3D it not terrible as for it not so great ps1 game. But felt like your could have done more. I like how they try to do a different style of game. But it feels like one those bootleg game on steam.
Glad to see one South Park fan on RUclips who isn't in denial about how awful this game is and who isn't slinging vulgar invective at people who bring that fact up.
I agree I find it sad how south park the adult cartoon gets a newer video game but it sucks while family guy and the simpson the two adult cartoons haven't gotten a newer Game for so long..
South Park is totally past its used by date. You can tell Trey & Matt are barely managing to even go through the motions anymore, and that they lost interest years ago. I watched an episode recently and it was as vacuous as a Buzz Feed article.

@@Thingsandstuff17 good thing they got it out of the way already at least
@@Thingsandstuff17 i wish they did in a unique way though, like 3d game with 2d character or smth
The worse part, no Booty fight, and the weirdness seems on the mild side.
The main thing that disappointed me about this game was the premise. In _The Stick of Truth,_ we had knights and kings. In _The Fractured but Whole,_ we had superheroes and supervillains. I was excited to see what they'd do next, like maybe cowboys and Indians or perhaps anime ninjas like in that one episode. Then, the game was announced, and I was like "Oh, it's just D&D again. That's cool, I guess..."
If South Park Snow Day's post launch support includes further polish/bug fixes and balance updates it could make the game fun and maybe even make the project salvageable only if they can improve it immensely so on top of a discount during a sale like half off or something like that then this title could get a second chance.
Any desert environment, including snowy/frozen is cheap to render, and cheap to draw too.
I was so hyped when I heard the announcement for the new game last year.
It’s so disappointing to see the quality of this game drop drastically compared to the previous two games.
I don’t think the game is *that* bad but it’s definitely overpriced for what it is and it’s definitely not polished enough to reach the golden standard they set with the last two.
Hey today has been a rough day, so thank you for making a video to help get through it. Great video man 💙
The only way i can see the games redeeming themselves is if they make a third game in the style of the other two rpgs and then make a comment about this game not mattering, sort of like when they switched from playing fantasy to superheroes at the start of fractured but whole. Just toss a lampshade on it and move on.
Why did they do this? They could have shown any random person off the street screenshots and they would have said "eww"
Most likely money. Because greedy money hungry corporations needs to make money back for their awful idea of acquiring tons of studios when they didn't have the money to do so. All the releases by Embracer owned studios lately have all been half finished (Graven, Battlefront Classics collection and not Snow Day.)
Because it was part of the deal Paramount gave.
Criminally underrated channel. I love your videos.
When I played this game one of the enemies glitched underground and I was softlocked which wouldn't be bad if there was actual checkpoints but there aren't any and the missions go on for so long and I had to start over from the beginning of the mission I litterally gave up on the game right there
The flag thing is intentional, the game sets up cartman as the final boss before it does a lil switcharoo to mr hankey.
Omg. There's a bunch of cosmetics. You have you play the game to unlock then with achievements or PP.
14:28 This happened to me on PS5
Kinda feels like a free to play game but with a 30$ price
Here are some games that cost half of what they are offering or less:
Hollow Knight
Stardew Valley
Undertale
Fallout New Vegas
Enter the Gungeon
The Binding of Isaac Rebirth
And many more I didn't list because im lazy.
I think people are overly set on a 2D game, an open-world style 3D game would have been sweet. They really dropped the ball on this one… Now there isn’t a chance in hell we’ll ever get a good 3D game from them.
honestly the visual style of this game couldve worked if it was way more flashy and stylish, like mixing 2d and 3d elements together to create a 3d environment couldve worked suuuper well with south park, atleast imo.
I hoped someone I liked would talk about this on RUclips! I knew seeing its price point it would be rough cus if it wasn’t they would’ve charged full price
This should've been a 2-D tactics game like Advance Wars/FF Tactics. That would have made sense. Hell, I would have accepted another Tower Defense game over this.
U would think the third game would be something like a 4 player coop bulders gate in maybe a 2.5D type game then have snow day as a spin off or something.
Bought this day one. I liked the story, but it played like a well made mobile game or maybe a free to play game. It'd be fun if they made it pvp, but it's barely set up for a single player run through. Definitely a step down
Looking at SOT, then looking at Snow day it just screams cash grab to me. They have all these character houses and never used them for locations for Missions, Shops and other ideas
>South Park and snow
>the franchise's first game was middling and centred around an apocalyptic snow day
Sounds like snow is a bad sign for the South Park videogames...
Hey I have a Switch too. Most of my games are Pokémon but I also have TFBW. In fact I’m actually playing through that right now.
I think they saying "I'm not mad just disappointed" is perfect for this game
I platinumed this game then deleted it. I even pre ordered. Disappointed.
Bruh they literally said they were burnt out and didn't wanna make a really long flushed out rpg shits fucking hard so yea they was lazy but that was the whole point
So this game has bullshit attacks the enemies can use...and they literally call it Bullshit. I don't know whether to laugh or throw the game in the trash.
I just can't help but wonder what happened behind the scenes. It's one thing for this to be a bad game but this almost feels like a prototype rather than a full game. I just gotta know what happened for this game to turn out like this.
From looking it up and trying to connect the dots I would say it's all on Embracer. That deal they had with the Saudis fell through and now I think they are releasing all the games they had in development half done and closing tons of studios. Graven and Star Wars Battlefront Classic were also half done messes which were also done by Embracer owned companies.
Thank you for this. Gonna wait for a good sale before I purchase
Not feeling good for Titans Quest II from THQ.
There were two 3D action games on PS5 getting released around the timeframe
This and Hi Fi Rush
Easiest purchasing decision I made
Good choice Hi Fi Rush is awesome
I love how even the N64 game is even better than this.
That’s a stretch
@@Santoryu90 As someone who’s played the N64 Game and watched tons of footage of Snow Day, I honestly don’t think it is at all lol.
@@Santoryu90having played both, yeah maybe not. snow day is a better game on paper, but i’d be lying if i said i had more fun playing it
7:36, It's also an Rouge like
I'm still trying to figure out how to save the game on the Ps5. I read somewhere that it autosaves but I've literally played the same part 3x now.
sounds like a very watered down dynasty warriors type thing
Wanna bet that DLC never gets released? At least not the full "Season Pass" worth.
You are most likely correct. I think this was released half finished and Embracer is behind it (They own THQ Nordic). Another recently released game that was awful was the Battlefront Classic 'remasters' which was done by Aspyr who are owned by Embracer.
@@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments Embracer's... "Embrace" has been rather loose since that sordid attempt to reboot Saint's Row.
At least ShortFatOtaku unveiled that meddling by hypersensitive executives done that game in.
@@Code7Unltd The Saints Row Reboot was also 2 years ago. Before that deal they had with the Saudis fell through and they started closing down every studio and game they had in production. Every release of Embracer owned studios this year have been broken and half finished. It's clear Graven, the Battlefront Collection, Kingpin Remastered and Snow Day needed much more work done. It's like these were released to try to make some money back. You can definitely see a pattern.
I am ashamed to say that I've missed the mediocre licensed THQ beat em ups, I miss 2004
This game felt like it was meant for mobile devices and then last minute they decided to make it for consoles
they should've just made a 3rd and final rpg game tbh
A friendly reminder with anyone with 30 bones to blow . High fi rush just came out and it's 30$ and a million times better then this game
Penny's Big Breakaway costs about that much at full-price and is more fun by leaps and bounds (knowing how it's a platformer, you could take that literally).
The "art style" is objectively atrocious
I bought it and couldnt get through the first mission.. it is soooo bad.
I feel like this is hey we should stick with 2D style of South Park games.
Why stiking on the same thing? 3d wasn't that bad and the reason why they did 3d was because you could not make live serivice games with 3d
@@denysvision true. But what made the first two game because it felt like a episode of South Park and looking like show makes the game more.
True the 3D it not terrible as for it not so great ps1 game.
But felt like your could have done more. I like how they try to do a different style of game. But it feels like one those bootleg game on steam.
Why has nobody mentioned the fucking spider that crawls across your screen as you play the game. That shits so fucking annoying.
I think the main issue is that the game wasn’t made by obsidian like the last 2 where
Only Stick of Truth was made by Obsidian. Fractured but whole was by a Ubisoft studio.
@@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments oh I thought they both done by obsidian
I never got the other games, I did have the N64 FPS, and I was planning to get this one.
Definitely get the other ones instead 😬
Aphex Twin poster blurred out?
Glad to see one South Park fan on RUclips who isn't in denial about how awful this game is and who isn't slinging vulgar invective at people who bring that fact up.
I have yet to see a review of this game that says it's good. And I've watched a few south park guys
Beat it in less than a hour
kinda wish i saw the video before getting the game
I had never heard of this one before
No one asked for this game. I'm so glad it doesn't really tie into the main story of the new kid
Aw haha loved the suggestion to buy cigarettes instead 😅
He'd rather us buy cigarettes= this game is literal cancer 😆
...
I dont know man it looks quite fun to me and something I would kinda dig.
Time to hate a game because it’s trendy and fun to trash on stuff. Honestly game isn’t that bad. 5.5/10
Or, perhaps, consider the idea that I just actually thought the game was trash.
lol you mad gill gill mad.
Too much South Park 64 vibes going on here. Looks cheap af
Disappointing, the game seems like a quick cash grab
This game is a disappointment of the highest order
So South Park games suck again. At their quality aligns with that of the show now.
Congrats on hitting 100K subs, Gilly!!

A review of Snow Day in April
Just like actual schools still HAVING Snow Days in April because we live on the climate change hell planet
lol hell planet? take ride to Jupiter.
South Park: Snow Day is so disappointing to me
shame this game sucks.
I agree I find it sad how south park the adult cartoon gets a newer video game but it sucks while family guy and the simpson the two adult cartoons haven't gotten a newer
Game for so long..
South Park is totally past its used by date. You can tell Trey & Matt are barely managing to even go through the motions anymore, and that they lost interest years ago. I watched an episode recently and it was as vacuous as a Buzz Feed article.
Look at it this way, at least the game is accurate in matching the current quality of the show.
:0
Fuck the stick of truth. Super childish for a south park series
Why wasn't this a free to play battle royal game with the cards being what you found in chests?
I remember seeing a ign interview before the game came out and one of the creators like said nothing and looked depressed the entire time.
