- South Park Snow Day Review | Reviewed on PC
It feels like yesterday when Matt Stone and Trey Parker announced South Park the stick of truth. A fantastic, simple turn based RPG, which i actually think has been the only turn based game i’ve actually finished. Followed up from the stick of truth success, Ubisoft and the south park team gave us the fractured but whole - which i really need to return to.
But now, 7 years later the south park team have given us a new game - but rather than a turn based RPG developed by Ubisoft, we’ve got a third person roguelike action basher in South Park Snow Day. But, how does it hold up? Is it better than the Fractured But WHole and the stick of truth? Is the change from south park 2d animation, to 3D a good change? Is it as funny as the show? Well….

This is definitely a game to play with friends who are also South Park fans. It’s just dumb fun but I do hope they give us more levels to play since the story mode is awfully short.
Yeah 5 missions is just a touch short but who knows my dude - have to wait and see
BULLSHIT SBULLSHIT BULLSHIT YOU SOUND LIKE YOU HAVENT PLAYED THE GAME
IT IS NOT FUN TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS ITS JUST NOT FUN TO PLAY STOP LYING BECAUSE YOUR EGO IS TO BIG FOR YOU TO ADMIT EVERYTHING SOUTHPARK HAS BEEN DOGSHIT SINCE 2019 GET OVER IT
A very fair review, unlike other reviews online... Looking at you IGN.
IGN review wasn't professional at all. It was I don't like it so everyone must hate it and everything is bad 😂
How wasnt it fair?
@@kvj1989It wasn't professional. It was personal taste based. If you review something you need to be more neutral and objective. Listen this video for example. He is giving his personal opinion + constructive more neutral opinion and how it really is. And IGN was I hate this game so everyone must hate it to.
@@homeoffice3524 every review is personal taste based, no they dont have to be neutral cause its the persons own opinion, and frankly ign is right, this game does not live up to the other 2.
@@homeoffice3524 and no they never said we hate it, or said so you must hate it, dont be lying
I love South Park to bits but this just doesn't draw me at all.
The atmosphere of this game... the creativity and ideas of the kids...illustrated by elements in the game... on that legendary war... i liked the game...
glad you enjoy it mate
Sounds like you enjoyed the idea of the game more then the game itself based on how your talking
This would be a banger of a couch co op in 2002
I was so excited for this game until i realized this was just south parks try at a love service game. Very little story. The thing about south park games that are different from every other game, i dont actually play south park games for the gameplay, these i play for the story, for the laughs.
Thankfuly there are some decent laughs here and there
I think that the major hate for snow day is mostly just that... Well, it completely failing to fill the shoes of the games that came before it. Not even just in an "eh it has no storyline" thing, but just as a whole experience.
It's a vaguely live-service pseudo-roguelike that feels like it smushed together a bunch of basic common trends without really thinking about it. Love or hate Turn Based Combat but both of the games before it made good use of their respective combat systems to create fun fights, and yes the story, comedy, and even in some cases serious dramatic stakes were done beautifully in the last two.
Snow Day, even if it's not actually a 3/10 bad looks like it's a massive step backwards for the franchise, or like it was made out of obligation.
great and fair review man i dont think this would be my jam, but i can appreciate what it offers, great breakdown of how it works!
This review was way too nice, because this game is horrible. I liked South Park 64 at release more than this pile of shit.
I worship South Park and playing this.. I am really confused because all they do is produce gold normally. I just really hope we get another South Park game before they retire
@@Bonbonbon739 would love a sequel to the fractured but whole - get a trilogy of those games
I quit watching Celebrity Death match for South Park when it released, watched Bigger, Longer and Uncut with my dead in theaters and have remained a loyal fan til this day..... but this game was the 1st game I refunded on Steam. I had to research how to do it. Highly disappointed, I got to the Kyle boss fight and it froze on me, sending me back to FOREVER ago TWICE. The game play loop and boring mechanics I couldn't convince myself to continue even as a bias fan. I honestly enjoyed South Park 64 way more at the time of it's release.
Gonna drink every time you say generally
let me know how many drinks you sink ha ha
it takes a while to make a game they couldn't have based it off Barbie etc as they are recent releases. Still just about to play this game with my friend and worried I made him waste his money!
I wanted a new storyline, not a hack n slash with a side of storyline.
That's why I don't really think it's worth even buying this
That's fair my dude
It is fun in it's own way, It is also kind of short witch is reflected in the price. One thing that I had heard that makes this interesting is that the idea behind the game is to have a game where they can add to it like they do the show where they can make things quickly and add to it in a timely manor. They have not started any of this, so this will be to be seen as I can not see this not being paid DLC, though if it is all priced right, this could be something that gets better with time.
I'd personally disagree with the playtime being reflected in the price when both Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole are the exact same price.
They weren't the exact same price at launch brother@@aquamarinerose5405
Whoever told you that is lying. It's just a bad game.
IMO, this game is good. Not groundbreaking or anything, but good and enjoyable. I think a lot of people are disappointed because they wanted something along the lines of SOT or TFBW and that is reflecting in their reviews. That's just not what this game was though. Matt and Trey have a very different preference in regards to games. Trey much prefers the RPG boardgame style of games we got with SOT and TFBW, while Matt prefers a bit more of what we got with Snow Day. You can't compare this game to the other two RPG games, because it's fundamentally too different. For what it is though, it's good. Not great, but not bad. Could've been a lot better though and I really hope they do continue this format and refine it over time.
Yeah that's fair dude - it could be a game like darktide - return to it 12 months later to see if it's gotten any new gameplay mechanics or levels
The hate for this game is unfair, it’s just a fun game to play with friends for people who love South Park. And the switch to 3d graphics took balls which most studios don’t have anymore. For me 7/10 game
I'm always a bit amused when fans go into It's Not As Bad As They Say mode, as they almost never say that it's, you know, good.
As Sick Boy pointed out in Trainspotting, Not Bad is Not Good. Middling reviews are a bigger turn-off than a bad one... where there's some hope it might be so bad it's good rather than completely forgettable.
Just bought this game for $10 on gamefly im looking forward to playing it since i finished fractured but whole
@@Savage80 hope you enjoy it my dude
Bad in every way, pick a number between 1 and 4, call it whatever
IGN never gives a good review.
Every CoD gets a perfect ten, and Snow Day gets a 3, when they are both 6.5-7s.
Well put my dude
It was good.
glad you enjoyed it mate
This seems like it was gonna be a pvp game but they made it single player instead
Take the bade and make luke a pvz garden warfare style game and it could be super fun
If this was a PVP game it would be HORRIBLE - Holy crap, could you imagine running around spamming a few buttons with the screen saying "BULLLSHIITT!!" every second.
@@Kanoog that's what balancing is for dude make the bullshit card a metre that charges like a ult
Ign is woke, so of course they will give this game a bad rating
This game is 30 dollars on the US this is a budget tittle and yeah 3 way too low for this game 5 to 6 yeah but 3 plz ign even when ppl are trashing this game ign finds a way to make ppl not trash it maybe thats what they wanted im confused
This game was a waste of time and money
Absolutely shitty Matt and Trey should be ashamed of this trash
Why would I care about someone’s opinion who has finished one turn based game in their life lmao go play call of duty
Meh I'm skipping this one, seems like lame gameplay, and lack of jokes and story... I accept IGNs review.
Fair enough mate.
I hate to say it because I do like this franchise, but this game is TRASH!
DON'T FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN.
STICK OF TRUTH 10/10
FRACTURE BUT WHOLE 10/10
SNOW DAY 3/10
What did IGN(norant) say? because the truth of the matter is very likely opposite.
Personally I preferred the 2D look as it was supposed to be based on the TV show. also the free roam across the town was nice but you can't do that here as the whole thing is played basically in Cartman's backyard and various other set pieces.
likewise my dude - really enjoyed the stick of truth being able to explore the town
when I played on PC, I found the movement to kinda suck, like the roll/dodge mechanic was so delayed
The combat, therefore, feels so clunky, and I found a really really long ambush to be so boring. It took me 10 minutes to get past countless waves of pretty easy enemies
The game is funny, has a very interesting concept, but the gameplay itself is just mid imo
Picking up what you're putting down my dude
The Kyle boss froze on me Twice, reloading to FOREVER ago, the game went over it's 2 hour mark for a refund but I explained the glitchy boring game taht was a waste of money is why I went over my 2 hours. I'm a SUPER bias South Park fan, I remember in 4th grade I wore a Mr Hankey shirt to school and some kid told the teacher it was poops and I had to turn it inside out. I'm now in my 30s. Massive gamer since Regular Nintendo and early PC games. I can't bring myself to play this shit, and not Mr Hankey shit, just shit.
If you are playing alone you probably won't have the best time! It's clearly for playing with friends like helldivers 2, helldivers 2 is boring unless you play with friends then it becomes a good time!
NOPE; THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW NEGATIVE REVIEWS I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH;
I STILL DON'T CARE FOR THEIR S*** ORAS TAKE OF "TOO MUCH WATER"
I’ll play it next year on a snowy day
Instead of buying this game i actually just bought the dlc stories to the fractured but whole
Lol same
W
I need to get around to doing videos on both stick and fractured - heard great things about the dlc
@@DudiReviews stick dlc is just costumes butt has some great stuff though
TFBW dlc's are the best❤
I think the launch is mediocre at best, and yes, it looks like a mobile game turned into a console game, and I think the content is sparse, but if they add to it and update it over time, it’s going to be a good game.
yeah its got some potential to grow
Love Southpark and both of the previous games. This new game is just not good. I played for a little bit and I just don’t like it. Very disappointing
Fair enough my dude - least you gave it a crack
i haven't played this yet and will definitely make a review as a follow up to my IGN response, but i do wanna say that i'm tired of IGN and regardless of whether the game is good or bad.. 3/10 is unreasonably low and pushing out an article like that 1 day before the game's release is lowkey annoying..
The gameplay might be decent but the game just looks so dull 😭 low lighting, the 3D models and the lack of weapon choices absolutely kill this game. Doesn't look and feel like south park at all like the previous games did
@@an_omega_wolf picking up what you're putting down my dude
Hard pasd
In europe, it only costs 29€, and still got bad reviews. But for this price, it is just good. After all, it was advertised exactly for what it is. But people still compare it to a triple A game for 69.99-74.99€ and say its bad, just cause they personal dont like the genre and that's just a subjective and unfair rating. Cause again, it only costs 29€ and was clearly advertised for what it is.
This games not really my style, i dont really care for south park but i enjoyed the games. I do kinda feel bad for the devs though... From what I heard this was the game the other dev really wanted after the first dev got the two games he wanted.
Personally i think the bigger problem is that these devs have created a fanbase of players who enjoy turn based rpg with two really great games that now the players want and expect that. I dont think the problem is that the games bad it seems its more just to dramatic of a change for the fanbase they created
The problem with this game is it follows SOT and FBW and is haunted by the old 3D N64 game. I don't know what game they should have made, but it shouldn't have been this.
Helldivers reminds me of sea of thieves when it launched... A huge world with 3 things to do in it.
It got borring and repetitive quick.
Interesting to hear your thoughts on this one! The game really doesn't look too bad, might be one that I pick up next time it's on special
Cheers mate 🍻
Yeah it's not a 3/10 but it also wasn't overly "for me" - some others though might really enjoy it
I really wish they would do another rpg with another good story those were in my best days when stick of truth came out my God I feel old now 😅
it's not a roguelike, and roguelike is randomly generated dungeons, not the same ones over and over and over again!
IGN only will give you a stellar review if you fork over the money. Props to THQ for not "buying" their review.
Proof please.
@@kvj1989 Proof? Who buys a fucking 3?!
@@dat_lamp I think they more meant proof about whether or not companies "buy" reviews.
@aquamarinerose5405 How many games have you seen come from big companies, net stellar reviews from IGN and GameSpot, or "Game reviewers". Then public and RUclipsr reviews give it pretty bad reviews? Pretty obvious that there are plenty that 'pay' for a review. Look to the last few AAA games in the past 2 years
@@dat_lamp I'm not saying I don't believe you, just that some may demand something more concrete.
It is not only IGN who said it is bad. The 3 was a bit harsh though.
In my opinion 3 out of 10 is a proper score. This game is just horrible and way too short. The story was promising but they ruined it. To be honest, there are demo versions that have more content 😐
thats fair mate
It wouldn;'t be so bad if it hasn;t followed Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole. Those were pretty much perfection in capturing South Park. You really felt like you were in an episode. A huge open world to explore, engaging story lines that kept you playing at 3am just to see what came next, you could customise your character a lot by choosing a class, weapons, weapon and armour addons, spells, consumables, abilities, and those of your NPC helper. The fights were very varied too. Most of all, the humour was there. Sometimes I had to pause the game I was laughing so hard (like Defeating the Priests), and there were tons of easter eggs and side quests. Snow Day, well, it's storyline is very threadbare, your own character gets a ranged attack and melee, which can e varied slightly by choosing one of three weapons for each. And you get six abilities, of which you can pick two. And you can;t customise them, or your helper bots either: there's no "hmm, I'll take Butters as a healer over Cartman as a ranged dps this time". The fights themselves are incredibly repetative, basically hack and slash your way through the same enemies...over and over. Most of all, the humour just isn;t there. All the characters are very subdued.
I really like your honest review. I think that IGN was too harsh on this game to give it the same score as Skull Island: Rise of Kong, the game that can be beaten in 2 hours due to how broken it is. It is just another mindless/multitask game to play with your friends for a few hours just like Dead Island 2, but with a South Park theme, better writing, and a lower price tag.
Cheers mate
Games pure garbage
