Not What Fans Expected
South Park has a mixed history with licensed games, but recent entries like Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole have delivered for fans with their humor and gameplay that feels like an episode of the show.
A Drastic Change in Genre
However, the latest game, South Park: Snow Day!, takes a different approach, moving to a 3D graphical style and shifting from a turn-based RPG to a roguelike horde mode, leaving fans feeling like something is missing.
Gameplay and Humor Disappointment
While the humor that South Park is known for is present in cutscenes, the gameplay focuses more on waves of enemies, lacking the strong storyline and humor that fans have come to expect from the franchise.
Misses the Mark
With limited weapon options and a heavy reliance on multiplayer that can hinder single-player progress, Snow Day! fails to capture the essence of what makes South Park games stand out in the gaming world.
Final Verdict
If you're a fan of horde mode-style multiplayer games, Snow Day! may have some appeal, but for those seeking the classic South Park humor, it's best to stick to older games or enjoy the TV show instead.
