I've really enjoyed both of these South Park RPGs. I never think I like turn based strategy RPGs until I'm actually playing them and then I realize I'm addicted. I haven't played many, but I've loved all the ones I've tried. (Games like this and my old Pokémon games for Gameboy.) Playing this actually made me excited for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I'm a sucker for superheroes. Which brings me to my next point.

I think I liked this one just a bit more than Stick simply because of the superhero theme. They're fun breezy plays and a must for any South Park fan. Playing Stick of Truth a few years ago actually reinvigorated my interest in the show after not having watched it in years.

Fractured also adds a few mechanics and some interesting boss fights that I don't remember from last time. It's a few nice wrinkles, but it plays largely the same. My only complaints are that I never feel like I have to properly strategize for any fight and I can just bash my way thru them. That and I felt this one went on for just a tad bit too long. Platinum was less frustrating this time and overall I just had a blast with Fractured But Whole. I'd def play a 3rd one if they made it for next Gen consoles.
