Games are supposed to be fun.

This is not fun. Mostly frustrating fights.

The levels just seem to be random stuff for most of it.

Average game with unskippable cutscenes meaning that at a certain boss, if you die you get 2 cutscenes everytime.

This is simply a waiting simulator. There is no gameplay except choosing what you will wait for, you just wait for things to happen.

But wait, there is more waiting. You can set things to make in town, so while you wait for them to complete you can go in a dungeon and wait for your charaters to auto fight while you wait for yout town stuff to finish waiting.

You can wait weapond, you can wait armor, you can wait skills, you can wait skills, you can wait items and you can wait fights.

You want more waiting. Wait there is no more waiting. Oh wait I might have found a way for more waiting. I guess you could install the game on a CD and play the game from it to wait even more for stuff to load. But wait, it required 1GB of storage and CD's only handle 700MB.

But wait! Can you raid 2 CD's in 2 CD drives together? This is a serious question, please don't keep me waiting for an answer.

Amazing game, it runs almost flawlessly, only time I had a crash, which was 100% repeatable, I just skipped the side mission. When I came back later the crash was gone.

The game is a GTA like game, with a better, but far from perfect melee combat system and a worst driving system.

The story is great, most characters are well done, a few very predictable moments but most of it came with surprises. The last mission is ridiculous though.
Graphics are still nice, but they do show their age.
Music, the ambiance music is great, the radio, not so much. There is also a bug where the sound of the radio would go down and back up after a while, just annoying.

The only really bad things are the camera, especially when driving, and the controls, walking can be a chore if the game decides to mess with you, fighting can be terrible if the game decides it does not like you at that moment, shooting is terrible, I probably missed with 99% of my bullets. Enemies/vehicles are bullet sponges, they will soak up so much damage before going down/exploding, but if you hit the 1 weak point, instant kill.

There are some annoying slow motion moments, like in many action movies, but after a while you get used to them.

I give this game an 8/10

Nice graphics, game is not very difficult but still fun.

Once you know the patterns there is almost no challenge because there is no variety.

I would love to recommend this game but it is a mess that keeps crashing on Windows 10 and the video settings are not saved so that means if you want shadows, you need to restart the game, hoping that shadows will be enabled, every time you restart the game you need to set your resolution, unless you are still running an 800x600 monitor.

South Park The Fractured But Whole is an ok game. For a game that was delayed for a year, it is extremly disapointing.
The Towelie gaming bud is pointless, he just appears and says dumb stuff. Sometimes it is extremly funny, but most of the time it is just a meh.

The story is ok but nothing really interesting, apart of a few plot twists only South Park can do, There are not that many good jokes compared to The Stick Of Truth. They keep doing the same jokes for your hero origin when you get to multiclass and for your age/sex/sexual orientation.

Combat is really improved, now with movement, pushes and pulls, which allows your team to do some combos, but it could have gone further.

The game looks and sounds like South Park, which is a good thing, but the story is not that great. The sidequests are bland.

The companions are cool, but there some are way more usefull than others.

The game is extremly stable for me, never had a crash, but there were a few hangs while waiting for a summoned character to disappear. I did lose sound effects a few times, there are a few moments where the subtitles would not disappear until the ones that popped over disappeared, but restarting the game always fixed those small issues.

If I were you I would wait for it to go on sale at least 50% off.

Not amazing, but not terrible. If it was a game on my phone I would probably have liked it better.

The game is really short, around 10 hours for a single play through with a few map restarts at the end, so maybe 8 hours without restarts.

The graphics are nice outside of combat, but the combat screen looks more like a card game than a RPG.

The music is good.

The story is ok but lacking. I feelt more attachment to a soldier I hired and who followed me to the end than to any of the 3 main characters and their relatives/friends. I would have loved exploring more of the Highlands, having choices.

Combat is dumb, way too simplified.

The equipment system would be ok if you did not get 3 or 4 upgrades for weapons every map.

The unique characters portraits are nice, but more variety for the random NPC's you hired would have been nice. For the end missions I would create myself a clone army that Hitler would have liked, all blue eyed blondes with exactly the same stats. Some random stats would have been nice.

Skills mechanics are nice, although some for in combat would have been nice. I really liked the fortification and militia attack.

Runs great on my computer, no crashes, no lag on a 290x

It looks pretty and the story is decent, but that's about it.

Camera is terrible
Game is extremly linear, you have nice abilities to jump and fly around, but if you are stuck in a world of invisible walls and 1 door in 1 door out who cares
Voice acting is boring and have no feelings
The camera is your biggest enemy
The notes could be interesting, but you need to be in the notes menu to hear the voice of the dude who wrote them, so I have no idea what they are about
No quick equipment change, I constantly change between 2 rifles, but I need to go in the menu, go to rifles, select my rifle for 1 room, change room, rinse and repeat
The equipment is a huge meh, I honestly have not seen changes with new swords, rings or amulent, except the ring that gives speed
Your old friend that you are looking for decides to side with another character, you barely have an argument with him and go separate ways
The time ability is somewhat interesting, but for most battles it is useless, a few puzzles require you to use it but not in an interesting way
Character is named Ayumi, but is not Japanese
Usually when aiming with a rifle, you move slower than without aiming it, not in this game though, aiming is annoyingly difficult sometimes, plus there are many small invisible walls around objects making hitting someone often hard for no reason
You have a compass that always point toward your goal, good thing because half the time I had no idea where I was going, it also glows on your hip because there is a chest nearby, which most of the time requires you to use a pointless ability to reveal it
This game punishes you for jumping into many fights, but you can snipe hard enemies that will just stay there because reasons
There are so many doors that require you to turn a wheel to open them, it is ridiculous and annoying, and the regular doors are almost always locked or blocked
