Why South Park: The Fractured But Whole Deserves to Be on GOG – A Top 3 Ubisoft Game Ever
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is not just a follow-up to The Stick of Truth — it’s a leap forward in both gameplay and storytelling, making it one of Ubisoft’s top three games ever. It blends clever satire, deep RPG mechanics, and a fresh take on superhero culture, all wrapped up in the iconic South Park style. It absolutely belongs on GOG, where games are celebrated, preserved, and offered DRM-free to players who value ownership.
Set right after the fantasy-themed first game, The Fractured But Whole shifts to a superhero theme — parodying Marvel, DC, and the modern obsession with cinematic universes. You return as the New Kid, now part of rival superhero factions led by Cartman and friends, battling for control of a movie franchise. It’s ridiculous, brilliant, and surprisingly smart.
What makes it a top Ubisoft game is how much freedom it gives players while still feeling like a real South Park experience. The combat is deeper, grid-based, and more strategic than the first game. Customization is expanded, and the story is full of hilarious and sometimes shocking moments that push boundaries — exactly what South Park is known for.
Ubisoft has many great titles, but few with the heart, humor, and boldness of The Fractured But Whole. Bringing it to GOG would give it the respect it deserves and give fans a chance to truly own this masterpiece. It's hilarious, thoughtful, and one of the best RPGs of its generation.
