The verdict
A funny, faithful South Park RPG with tactical grid combat, but not as sharp as Stick of Truth. Skip it if you hate Ubisoft's mandatory launcher and account login.
Great for
South Park fans who want a playable episode with customizable classes and turn-based tactics
Main risk
Forced Ubisoft Connect login can stop the game launching, plus freezing-combat bugs
