“Obsidian Entertainment delivers one of its best-ever efforts in South Park: The Stick of Truth, even if the game doesn't quite stick the landing.”

For fans of both South Park and RPG's this is a must play. For everyone else, I'd recommend it thoroughly.

Maybe this just says more about me and my sense of humour, but I had a fantastic time with the game. Being “the new kid” and trying to fit in is also a theme a lot of people can relate to, and finding humour in it is probably the best way to look back at our experiences of it.

Mechanically, there are some rough edges, like interacting with the environment or the inefficiency of selling a lot of items at once, and the combat could do with a little tweaking.

In its 17 years on our screens South Park has offended pretty much everyone with its caustic humour but its games have struggled to bottle the show’s comic magic.

With the release of the Fractured But Whole, you'll be able to get a free copy of The Stick of Truth upon purchase. But does it still hold up?
