Review: South Park The Stick of Truth. A Game Worth of the Series??

in #gaming6 years ago

Ahhhhhhh, South Park, one of the most famous cartoons (for adults) of the history (well maybe not soooooo famous, but i'ts been known) and this series have arrived to a lot of merchandising like shirts, figures, etc. And one of then have been the videogames launching some games to diferent platforms,but they were not sooooooo good (at least i think that). Until Obsidian Entertainment apperared creating the best South Park game in the history (and one of the best rpgs of that year) South Park The Stick of Truth it was a bomb in the videogames because no one think that a South Park game could be so good. And i am going to analyze this game, let's get started. (Clarification: 1-This is most like a mechanical analysis or review or whatever, because the story in this game is irrelevant, i'm just going to mention some points of it.2-I know that already exists a sequel of the game, but i didn't played, some day i will do it one day)
The story is about us (because we create a character)arriving to South Park with your family, and you met the kids of South Park (the principal characters of the series)that they are playing like in a medieval world (knights, elfs, dragons that type of things) and our objective is to find The Stick of Truth. "Because who ever controls the Stick, controls the universe" said Cartman. The story is simple and is stupid, the important of her is the narrative, it's one of most funiest narratives i ever seen before, (because the cartoon is exactly like this) a lot of people say that this game is like a complete season of the series, and they are right, not only the script, the ANIMATION IS AWESOME, and you FEEL like you were in the series and where you go you're always going to laugh, but the story is GREAT in that sense (most of them are stupid jokes, but they work). NOW!! the important, the mechanics. Is good, not perfect, but is good. At first is like any rpg have you ever played but it have some variants that make it more creative. Our character can make phisical attacks, launch projectiles, and use some creative habbilities, but they have their trick, phisical attacks and projectiles have 3 variants: weak attack, strong attack and with fart attack (YES, FART ATTACK)how the name says the weak is the most weakling attack of this variant, but you can attack more than one time (depending of the arm, of course), the strong is the strongest but you can attack only one for turn, and the fart attack this is like the strong but for that you need to fill some the manna bar (eating junk food), and for some enemies this could be most weakling attack. Then, we have the habilities and magic (the magic are farts itself), the habilities are movements that our characters can do on the battle (either attack, improve our statistics or worsen those of the rival), that it will vary depending the class of the caracther (fighter, mage, thief or jew), the bad of this is that this is the only difference between the 4 classes of the game, and the magic is diferent tipes of farts that all of them do the same effect on the enemies. And they are the invocation, in some secondary missions of the game we can win an invocation that we can use only once per day (the game is seperated in 3 days, so you have to think when use it, and you can only use it with normal enemies, not with bosses). And with all the before mentioned we can destroy some objects of the scenario this could sound stupid, but in some places you can interact with some objects that they can defeat our enemies instantly.(And we have parteners but they are the same thing, so i didn't mentioned for that)
The resume: South Park The Stick of Truth is one of the best rpgs of 2014, a great game that, in spite of their mistakes is a great game and o one can lose. Is available for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch
Score: 9.5
