South Park: The Fractured but Whole review — better combat saves the day

South Park: The Stick of Truth was one of the best licensed games I’ve ever played. The turn-based role-playing adventure aptly captures the look and humor of the cartoon. I can say the same for its sequel, The Fractured but Whole, which comes out on October 17 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. I played the game on my PlayStation 4 Pro.

But this superhero-themed follow-up isn’t just a rerun. Ubisoft has added some welcome complexity to South Park’s battles that make The Fractured but Whole a more satisfying game.
