South Park - The Fractured But Whole

I've never been too big on computer games but I love South Park.  A few years ago I bought a PS3 to play The Stick Of Truth and more recently I've purchased a PS4 for the Fractured But Whole.  I didn't realise that the name was a pun until someone pointed it out to me.

The new game is a South Park take on superhero franchise movies with two opposing teams of costumed vigilantes led by Cartman (the Coon) and Timmy (Doctor Timothy).  There is a main story to play with a funny story as well as a lot of easter eggs and side quests. I'm really crap at computer games and I managed to complete the main storyline after about 27 hours of game play.

The game is like an extended South Park film with you as the star.  As the New Kid you come to town, try to make friends and solve problems.  The special moves are great, the fighting is fairly easy and at one point you take on Morgan Freeman.

There will be a season pass with additional game content that I'm looking out for.  Hope they make another in due course
