South Park™: The Stick of Truth™

This is a funny comfy cozy game made for the FANS. that's it.
Each day and night feels like a brand new episode with contributes to the main overall plot of the game.
It's full of references and jokes in the map and inside the menu.
It desnt's ask you for the Ubisoft Launcher so it's a great game.

Uno de los mejores juegos basado en una propiedad intelectual preexistente, una lastima que Ubisoft se encargara internamente de la secuela en vez de darnos la oportunidad de jugar otro juego de Obsidian. Lo único que le puedo criticar al juego es que después del nivel 8 el combate se vuelve demasiado fácil y rara vez el nuevo chico morirá

It is very funny but has some crude humor and is exelent if you have watched the show. also pick jew it is the best (and funnest) class

well, i had no idea what to expect, bought it on sale, ive been bored out of my mind lately. i am so glad i picked up this gem. maybe i wont kill myself lol

Rude, insensitive, offensive. Each chapter escalates in depravity. Never have I been so disturbed doing the things I did in this video game.

Yes, I am recommending you to join in this experience. Especially if you’ve watched South Park’s earlier seasons.

No, don’t do this for achievement hunting. There are many missable achievements, and it is much more fun running wild doing whatever you want.

This is a solid RPG (in the style of JRPG's) centered around the town of South Park and its kids.
If you do not know South Park be aware that it is a show with crass satire adjacent humor. And I mean really crass.

HOWEVER, I have not watched SouthPark itself since the early 2000's and I'd argue that the concepts and story is stand alone enough that not having watched the show shouldn't really impact your... uh... fun, playing this game.

On the crass humor: I am ususally not necessarily a fan of this kind of humor.
My fascination with stories like this or High on Life (which was developed by one of the writers around) or Rick and Morty is because, when they do it well, the writers of these create partialy unhinged worlds or universes that are often utterly absurd while somehow still making sense.

Same counts for this story that uses all the tropes of modern US Countryside life and does the worst/most absurd with it.

So much to the story.

On the gameplay: it is a competent RPG with round based combat.

It has three armor slots for head, body and gloves.

Two weapon slots, one for Meele and one for ranged weapons.

Most of those armors and weapons come with attributes that boost stats or have in combat efffect, like fire and gross.
Most of the armors and weapons also have slots that can be filled with patches that also boost stats or give additional effects like healing, fire, temporary boosts to attack or defence etc.

These patches can also freely be removed and reaplied, for example to better equipment. So none of the will be lost upon applying the, which I find is extremely fair to me the player and lets you experiment with different effects.

You have additionally Fartpowers (Magic) that use Mana and Special Abilities that use PP.

Then you always have one of the other main kid Characters from the show in your party. You can freely change between them outside and during battle excpet during some Story beats.
You gain more of those as you progress trough the story and can upgrade them via "gaining friends". Basically the game uses your social media "friendships" to show your level.
As you complete Quests you encounter more individuals trough them thus level up.

Last but not least there are perks which you get perk points for the same way.

Combat itself feels satisfying and compelling and feels satisfying, to my surprise despite the games overall visual style.

There is also some satisfying, light exploration. Often when you get a new power or partymember

Last but not least and for me personally an important point:

I finished all Quests minus one minor Sidequest in about 16 hours.

The pacing is excellent.

I never had the feeling that any aspect or scenario or quests of the game and story overstayed their welcome except for one minor scene where that was on purpose. I never had the feeling that the game was filling air or wasting my time.

Within this time, the game gave me experience that felt satisfying and most of all complete.

Jogo muito bom, excelente para quem gosta de humor ácido bem estilo South Park do desenho mesmo. Jogabilidade ótima, interações divertidas e uma história muito legal! Recomendo demais!!!

it's pretty good but don't try to 100% it. you need to play through the game at least twice and about half the content is unobtainable after a certain point. There are also several achievements which require you to beat the game while abiding by a certain condition, such as never selling an item or never ending a battle with your buddy dead. These are incredibly easy to mess up and such mistakes cost hours.

One of the only Ubisoft games that doesn't require the Ubi launcher. Also one of the only Ubisoft games with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews. Coincidence? I think not!

Great and unique game!

Okay game if you a fan of South Park, albeit a very easy one even on 'hardcore' difficulty.

The usual South Park fucked up humor is there but if you're one of those wokeys then give it a miss, no one needs to read your letter on why games like this should be taken off Steam and that Cartoon Network is just as bad as Donald Trump. Get off your computer and have a nice vegan Camille tea with stevia.

Game comes with some annoying features though, main one having so suffer through the animations of the buddy's "ultimates". Also, as mentioned earlier, the game is WAY too easy. I can't see anyone struggling with this unless you were born with some defect and never figured out why the little cube just wouldn't go into the triangle shaped hole.

And a big fuck you to the game's ending. You'd expect you get to explore and find the collectibles you missed (you know, give the game some more playtime) but nope, the game hardlocks out of some main areas so you're shit out of luck.

Anyways. Good game if you love South Park. Easy 7/10.

HIGHLY recommend. I cant believe how good this game is.
It isn't just funny, the game play is amazing and reminiscent of a PS2 game.
Every other line will either have you giggling or howling with laughter.

Great game, one of the best games I have ever played when I was a child
100% the game and still had the same fun as in my childhood !!!!!

right click makes you shart your pants. you can throw your poop at enemies. nuff said.

enjoyable "light" RPG (light because the class doesnt matter very much) and it's crude and funny like the show. i was a bit surprised at the fact that it made turn based combat a bit engaging with QTEs, making it a bit less brainless. altho speaking of QTEs, i wish there was more warning, because often i'd be laying back in my chair without a hand on the keyboard, then i'd lose 3/4 of my health because i needed to mash the A button in 0.5 seconds. menus are clunky and some environmental puzzles can blend in a bit too much. cool game, but not a must play.

I really enjoyed the game. The story is fun, silly, funny, sometimes disgusting. lots of black humor. The combat is very satisfying. I recommend it.

Surprisingly engaging and a game that is so obscenely offensive that all of it seems to cancel out each other and becomes stupidly funny, which is what South Park is all about.

Got this on sale and I feel like I'm stealing from the quality of this game.

Only gripe is that the ending felt a bit stale and the difficulty (I was on Hardcore) was fairly easy.

Definitely worth buying at any price, it's really great.

This is a fun game, true to the original contents of South Park with a lot of jokes referencing the TV show and the quests can be pretty challenging as well.

If you're a fan of South Park, you will love what this game has to offer in terms of humour. The combat gets repetitive after a while though.

This is just simply a fun well-made game. It has basic South Park story and it is like you are inside an episode. So if you are too serious and can't appreciate comedy in a game, this ain't for you.

The combat is turn-based with RPG leveling-up and all that. In battle you just have your custom character plus one extra for your main party to attack with.

Just don't get DLC, doesn't add much to game, there is plenty of good gear around.

Overall: 8/10

There is a boss battle where you're fighting under two people shagging eachother. Best purchase I've ever made.

Don't play with a keyboard and mouse. The fart cut scene mechanics will make you want to rage quit.

the game is good but CANT SAVE GAME so many people have this issue idk i gonna try fix this

A ubisoft game without the ubisoft launcher, you think you would look at formulas that work and replicate that prior to your company going bankrupt.

One of the most fun experiences I have had while gaming. Great game to enjoy on a steam deck, I highly recommend it.

surprisingly enjoyable, well worth the money (even though I bought it when it was on sale). Anyone who's a fan of the show will love this game, even more so if they like D&D type games. It's goofy as hell, crass, and everything you'd expect from something with the name "South Park" slapped on it.

A little hard to pick up but you don't notice because you're too busy laugjhing! Great fun. . .

It's just amazing
Litteraly a south park movie with side quests
I just didn't really like the gameplay but i didn't buy the game for that

I don't know how they let this game come out given the moralizing that has been rampant these past few years, because the best way to define this game is to say that it's VERY South Park.

If you like the humor of the series or games where the big gentlemen's agreement is that "farting on another person's balls is forbidden," this is your game. Nothing more to say.

This game is just such a meme nowadays, but that's what the intentions of Matt and Trey of the game were, to make it funny! Yet, it has an engaging storyline (some of them could've been cut out, due to my mother coming into my room) but I still love the game-concept!

I personally would highly recommend this game, especially if you're a fan of the show, it makes you feel as if you're playing an interactive season straight out of South Park itself! The turn based system is great and the interesting ability's just add to make it feel unique to most other game's in this genre.
A solid 9/10

Hilarious game. The game's theme relates closely to the TV show with lots of gags and good voice lines that will make you laugh if your into that humour. Worth playing in between your AAA titles.

This is one of the funnest and funniest games I have ever played. If you like south park humor and RPG this will be one of the best games you have ever played.

Unique game, funny, but also a bit infantile.
Pretty fun, but sometimes does get repetitive.
Your class isn't that important, unless we are talking about the achievements - which are grind-y to get. Forcefully make you replay the game some of the times.
Definitely recommend.
8.5/10

Very fun and great story line. Ive watched South Park, so it was a must play for me. The game inserts you into the story so well, that it feels like you in an episode of South Park. If you like South Park, then definetly a game you should play!

I actually quite liked the game. I would've gladly given it a thumbs up had it not been for the fact that it unintentionally sabotaged me with a shit joke for the ONE thing I had to do to defeat the final boss, and then expecting me to do the entire thing again after giving me a game over screen. Might come across as insanely petty, but I'm too bitter. Fuck you!

Amazing game! Unfortunately they dont make games like this anymore cause people are too easily offended nowadays

Very funny jokes and moments, I recommend picking up the game, it will lift your spirits!)

I just bought it for 2.99€ and it was an amazing game! Its fun and even, since i try to get all the achievements, not a difficult grind at all. I never watched the TV-series but you dont need to have watched it to understand everything. Try it yourself :)

Very fun, but also very gross at some points, I reccomend playing through the game with a lower volume if you still live with your parents.

Wow, I was not expecting this game to be as good as it is. Not only does this game look exactly like the TV show but the gameplay has similarities to a game I used to play on the PS1 called “Legend of Dragoon”. It has its own sort of addition system where in if you time your attacks and dodges right deal extra damage. I haven’t come across any other turn based RPG that has even attempted to mimic this addition feature until I tried this game. This game really surprised me. I never in a million years thought that this game of all games (no offense) would be the one to try and mimic the addition system from “Legend of Dragoon” my all time favorite JRPG. I highly recommend checking out this game especially if you’re a fan of the show, especially while it’s on sale at 90% off.

Perfect for killing time. Reminds me of some old map scrollers.

Ten Years and game still good and funny if you try do 100% achievement completion. Jokes about everything, aliens who r**e your neighbor, jesus... What do you want more?

If you're a South Park fan, then you'll probably enjoy the Stick of Truth for what its worth. There are so many easter eggs from the episodes in this game, it's fun trying to find all the references and seeing how the episode references are woven into the plot. For the most part, I enjoyed the game! That being said, it was a bit longer than it needed to be. I soft-locked myself back in 2016 and only recently picked it back up to restart the game from the beginning and finished it. By the time I got to the end, I found myself skipping cutscenes and just ready to end it. The final boss is painfully repetitive and keeps coming back to life, which pissed me off to no end. That being said, nobody would play this game purely for the combat mechanics or expect it to be the most masterfully crafted game, but if you love SP and are dying for more content, then you'll probably enjoy the game!

This game is awesome! I loved the character dialogue, the gameplay is entertaining, and it got me more into South Park as a whole.

Achievement Completion: 100%

South Park: The Stick of Truth is basically what you'd expect out of any South Park episode full of familiar faces along with its staple crude humor. This game was very enjoyable and with a few classes to choose from, it was very fun experimenting with different builds that are possible.

The gameplay is fun and accessible, with a simple yet satisfying turn-based combat system that lets you experiment with different abilities and strategies. The character customization and class system are great additions, allowing you to play as the hero you want while staying true to the absurdity of the South Park universe. Exploring the town is incredibly rewarding, with tons of interactive elements, side quests, and hilarious surprises waiting around every corner.

It feels like you're part of a long, outrageous episode of the show. The story is surprisingly compelling, filled with unexpected twists and ridiculous moments that only South Park could pull off.

The attention to detail is remarkable. The game is packed with Easter eggs and references for longtime fans, making exploration a real treat.

⭐ Rating: 9/10
Highly recommended!

good game, alot of easy to miss achievements so keep that in mind, but it is a very fun game!

After playing half of the fractured But Whole and having a great time, I realized there was a game before it I knew I had pause and finish this one first and let me tell you. The Stick Of Truth did not disappoint me, the humour, cut scenes, and open world had the same feel as the second game. The QUALITY in the first 2 games were so enjoyable and funny that it persuaded me into buying the 2024 South Park game too. solid 8.5/10

South Park: The Stick of Truth is a hilarious RPG that perfectly captures the humor and charm of the show. You play as the new kid in town, who gets caught up in a wild fantasy adventure over the magical Stick of Truth. The game’s story is packed with the show’s signature sharp satire, mixing ridiculous fantasy tropes with the everyday absurdities of South Park. The combat is fun but simple, and exploring the town is a treat for fans, with plenty of hidden jokes and references. While the game’s short and doesn’t have much replay value, it’s an absolute blast for anyone who loves the show.

this is a classic. had a great time playing it. why does older games feel better than most of the newer games. welp overall you should get this. worth it.
