South Park™: The Stick of Truth™

Even though the game came out over 10 years ago, the humor still holds up. I was also surprised by how good the gameplay was — no attack or ability was just a basic turn; you always had to react.

Literally just a really really good couple of episodes of south park put into a game

If you like South Park u will like this game. The humour still is fantastic till this day and theres so much optional content to do, so youll be busy for a while. So get the game, get some snacks and start playing if u havent already :)

[h1]South Park™: The Stick of Truth™ – ridiculous brilliance in a fantasy-flavoured burrito[/h1] I launched it expecting a couple of cheap laughs and maybe a fart joke or two. What I got was a full-blown fantasy saga where I became the Dragonborn of flatulence, the King of Cringe, and the chosen one armed with a stick, a cape, and deeply concerning bowel powers. Somewhere between fighting Nazi zombies and dodging a swinging pair of testicles, I realized this isn’t a game, it’s a chaotic masterpiece in a wizard’s robe. [hr][/hr] [h3]What I loved[/h3] This game is like high school Dungeons and Dragons meets the grossest Saturday morning cartoon, with toilet humour jacked up to legendary levels. Combat is more tactical than you'd expect with grid-based movement that actually forces you to think. I came for toilet jokes and stayed for the strategy. Every area is dripping with ridiculous personality. The police station is unhinged. The alien ship is a fever dream. The strip club is unforgettable in the worst way. And then there’s the detail. The map is packed with tiny, obscene surprises from collectible Chinpokomon to absurd side characters. The voice acting is full South Park quality and the writing is so sharp it could pierce a taco shell. Mixing classes like fart-mage and Jewish paladin was not only allowed but encouraged and that alone made me feel like I was part of something historically stupid and brilliant. [hr][/hr] [h3]What could be better[/h3] A few of the side quests feel like padding. Fetch this, go here, poke that. The crafting system is barely a system and more like a polite suggestion. Sometimes jokes are repeated just a little too much and lose their punch, especially if you linger in one area too long. Also, once I found my favourite combat combo, things got a bit too easy toward the end. But honestly, even during the slower parts, the sheer commitment to absurdity and unexpected twists kept dragging me back into its fart-scented clutches. [hr][/hr] [h3]How it plays[/h3] It plays like a love letter to classic RPGs with just enough poop jokes to keep you humble. The turn-based combat has grid placement, timing-based blocks, power-ups, and enemy-specific tricks. Boss fights are clever, sometimes chaotic, and always ridiculous. From alien probes to underpants gnomes, every battle has a flavor you’ll either love or be slightly disturbed by. Exploration between battles is full of rewards, like breaking into houses, looting drawers, and triggering cutscenes that belong nowhere except here. Every town building hides either a joke, a secret, or a deeply questionable side quest and I loved digging into every corner. [hr][/hr] [h3]The main character’s powers[/h3] New Kid is an unstoppable, speechless ball of rage, farts, and questionable gear choices. You start by picking a class like Fighter, Mage, Thief, or the infamous Jew, and every one of them is broken in its own special way. Want to summon Mr. Slave to devour your enemies whole? You can. Want to attack with burning farts and toxic burps while hiding behind a flaming hammer? Go for it. Want to teleport through walls with alien probes and then shrink to fight rats under the floorboards? All possible. This is less a progression system and more a controlled explosion of imagination, and the more ridiculous you make your build, the better the game rewards you. [hr][/hr] [h3]Performance on PC[/h3] Smooth as buttered bacon on a hot sidewalk. It runs clean, quick, and without any issues from start to finish. No crashes, no stutters, and no bugs that I came across. Load times were snappy, battles were slick, and all the effects looked crisp without needing to mess with settings. The visual style is perfect for what it is, like watching an interactive episode of South Park that somehow goes on for 12 hours without wearing out its welcome. [hr][/hr] [h3]My final thoughts[/h3] This is the golden standard for comedy RPGs. It’s filthy, fun, functional, and freakishly well-made. The combat is satisfying, the exploration is hilarious, and the writing manages to be both juvenile and razor-sharp. It’s a turn-based epic about friendship, destiny, and farting your way to greatness. On PC it’s perfect, on Steam Deck it holds its own, and in my heart it now lives rent-free as the best use of a stick in video game history. [b]Final Score: 10/10[/b]

awesome game for autistics and elves are retards

The Stick of Truth is really good South Park game, It feels like you're inside of an episode from the show. The music and visuals are also really high quality. No bugs and runs smooth. Story is engaging and fun even in 2025. Achievements are also fun to get. I completed the game around 4 times with the 4 different classes and can say each class is fun in the game. This is worth it for the amount of entertainment and highly recommend.

Cinema. I played this game for over 8 hours in one sitting, its so good. ALSO, you get to fart on people and things.

[b]+ Faithful to source material:[/b] The game feels like experiencing a South Park movie. The writing feels on par, as do the animation and voice acting. You pretty much get what you see up front, in the trailers. [b]+ Itemization:[/b] You are incentivized to try out new weapons with different effects and play styles solely due to their flat damage increase. The fact that there is no stats-oriented upgrade system (e.g., adding +5 modifier to an item) pushes you into experimenting with different builds without feeling overbearing. One of the best implementations of this system I've seen in any game. [b]- Bugs:[/b] It's unacceptable to have screen flickers during certain cutscenes and issues that can soft lock you from progressing (for up to ~10m depending on luck). [b]- Cameos:[b/] Most of the South Park extended cast makes an appearance, but some characters such as Chef feel forced, and more of an afterthought. Generally this is not an issue but when it stands out even a bit, it's very grating.

My gay friend Fanger really enjoyed the part where we had to become small and defuse the bomb... You know what I mean.... 10/!0

very fun game but it's better to watch the series first to understand the connections and what happens in the game

The games' main and side objectives are for the most part very engaging and easy enough to do to scratch a completionist itch. The voice acting, soundtrack, visual design, and charm are very consistent with that of the show, and anybody who likes the general feel of the show would be happy. The battles were engaging, and even the toughest bosses could be taken out with just a few resets. Critiques would be the selling system being very tedious, especially considering the large chunks of game play where you're collecting random junk you'll eventually have to sell one by one. I also wish that character customization in terms of costumes/arsenal was more viable. With latter game pieces being so busted in comparison to early game stuff, it feels like you're stuck wearing/equipping whatever new thing you get instead of being encouraged to stick with your own preference for style. huge props for letting clothing pieces be color coded, though. My last issue would be the amount of clunk with the different abilities. Swapping around your four abilities plus the magic system, for me at least, hindered the overall flow of the game. When you get to the later parts of the game, and a room may require you to switch to a certain spell, release the spell, switch to the ranged weapon to interact with the environment in some way, shrink down to go to some place so you can use the alien device, and then have a buddy interaction (which may require you to swap through multiple buddies to see which one fits the prompt unless it's obvious), it gets more annoying than engaging.

Fun game that actually just works. Kind of shocked Ubisoft had anything to do with it...

Very funny and enjoyable game. If you're going to do all achievements (like i did) there is a lot of missable ones, so make sure to look at a guide before starting a run so you dont have to do 2-3 runs.

Great for a grey day fighting mechanics are chill , funny and a great vibe over all , p.s Don't Trust the elves .

For all the South Park enjoyers out the, this is a must-play! They included tons of jokes and characters of the series. Its so much fun, enjoyment and sillyness. Gameplay is also fun, but gets kinda stale at some point.

This gaming is fucking amazing, you can never be bored with these characters

I didn't expect this game to be so much fun. It's hilarious and addicting!

It feels like a South Park episode! It is extremely over the top and all around quite wacky. You can tell it draws a lot from d&d with its themes and combat systems and I found the entire experience engaging from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it if for no other reason than just how damn silly the entire story is.

The comedy of an episode of South Park meets the gameplay of Paper Mario in this comedic JRPG. You can tell that Trey Parker and Matt Stone put the same care into this game that they put into any episode of South Park.

This game is one big series of South Park episodes in one joint. Took me awhile to beat. I hadn't played the game in 3 years, I come back and beat it within a few days. The mechanics, spells and attacks are very easily to take advantage of in this game and you could easily be overpowered. Straight forward turn-based role-played inspired by JRPGs, DND, Lord of the Rings with the twisted sick flair of Stone and Parker's dark humor interlaced.

I really liked this game more then I thought I would. This game has the charm and humor of the series while also being a fun turn-based rpg. I would recommend especially recommend to those who are a fan of South Park, but even to those who think this looks interesting even if you don't know much about the show. Fun game.

7.5 / 10 It's a great turn-based game. I having so much fun but the level cap just till level 15 which kinda short and I already reached max level cap in the Mid game. The game is easy even though i already set the game difficulty to hardcore because i able to one shot mob enemy and bosses in few hits. Selling the junks item in the game kinda hassle because you cannot select all junks at once. Only can sell item one stack per click and these junks you get it so often.

This fuck-ass game sucks. Every time I attempt to do a move it will not even regester such as the "fart" to enhance damage in a fight. Plus these fuck-ass aliens can go fuck themselves and suck my big fat dick. 10000/1000 for making me type this.

Great game with good humor and gameplay

an excellent game really good to have some good hours cracking your ass up, a simple yet not boring fighting system and basically watching a south park season from first hand. totally recommended.

Great game overall. By default if you're got the dogsh*t version like the Australian or European ones, you'll need to download a bypass for the inbuilt censorship that strips out several scenes and minigames (but it's a super simple process) Managed to pick up all the achievements and smash through the game 100% in about 20 hours on the Steamdeck

I had a ton of fun playing this game & playing along the kids of South Park. Kyle ended up being the best partner to have for most of the game! The classic South Park humor was the star of the show for me & I'm super excited to play The Fractured but Whole game now! P.S. I waited for this game to go on sale from its original $30 price tag :)

92/100 It's basic, simple but this game is one of the best RPGs I've played in a long time. It's rare Ubisoft is involved in anything good. Turn based combat done right. It's not overly complicated and I'm all for that. Game felt like I was watching half a season of the show.

it's funny the battle system is fun the pacing is great the charatcers all feel different all of their moves feel great to use the game isn't to easy or hard

If you're a fan of the show you'll love this game. I would say watch up to season 16 to get all the references. I loved exploring and doing all the side quest. All around great game

They're building a new Taco Bell ! South Park always finds inspired new stories to portray their characters, and this game will have you smiling and laughing. Mixed in with the gross parts, the game has great sequences in children's forts and in the school as the kids have a fun adventure to possess the Stick of Truth. Shockingly the creators did not hold back and the game is as raunchy as the show as you see nudity and sex and anal probes, and it has levels in an abortion clinic and inside a gay man's anus. The combat is a turn-based rpg where you can switch out a second character teammate, and it emphasizes button timing to maximize hits, and time blocks. The button timing ends up being alright if you stick to some key attacks, although some of the special moves i never understood the button timing of the various characters. The fights are entertaining and surprising, since some enemies fight you with normal attacks while others have weird gross out attacks or suicide bomber attacks. The overworld has some creative ways to interact with environmental objects to knock out some enemies before entering a turn based battle. A few downsides of the game are; the fart tutorials are such a confusing struggle that I almost got stuck in the game; and there was not very much to explore in the South Park town once you have been through it. Although the game graphics look great and exactly like the cartoon, the background buildings and signs are really blurry as they scroll past in contrast to the clear foreground. It is not a big deal, but it made me feel a bit dizzy and it would be better if the graphics allowed for a clearer FPS. The game lets you set refresh rate to 60, 120, 144, but none improve the moving blur and it seems like the game may be locked at 30fps. I am super happy to have gotten two games (Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole) for less then $15, which makes the games more like experiencing a South Park movie with top entertainment value even during the fights. This game was charming yet gross, and had enjoyable enough game play to make it a great South Park experience.

For an avid fan of the show, this game is a definite must play. The characters are so fun, it's playing an actual episode of the show.

Great game. Definitely recommend watching all the south park episodes first!

The gameplay? Simple yet entertaining and deep. The humour? Every joke lands. Nothing ever gets stale. The music? Phenomenal. The art? Simple yet effective. A perfect 10/10 game. A must play for everyone who is not afraid of edgy / dark humour.

definitly a fun game, with the classic humor. the battling sytem is alright its mostly funny.

I went into this game a South Park fan and emerged a super King Kamehameha fan. Non fans probably wouldn't enjoy it as much as I did, it's juvenile, offensive and due to its content should not be played by anyone, but MAN am I glad to see it exist. Perfection.

just an absolute banger game. it really just feels like youre a part of one long episode of south park. incredible peak

on play station i have over 100 hrs beat it like 15 times also always go with jew class its op

The game is actually more fun than I thought it was going to be. I'm generally not a fan of this style of gaming but I love South Park so I think that makes up for it. lol. If you think it looks like fun and also like South Park, you'll likely enjoy this game as well.

The game completely holds up to the humor of the shows and movies. There was times where I was laughing so hard I had to pause the game and take a long walk around my home just to calm down. There was also scenes that have possibly scarred my mind for life.

Easily one of my favorite games of all time. My only complaint is that it's such a short game. Perfect South Park humor, feels like you're playing an episode. Highly recommend.

Very green, funny game, yet immersive. Finished playing in 2 days

After you play for a few hours, beyond the time to return the game, your nine year character is raped by aliens and the game makes you play along if you want to continue. I'll never buy anything for ubi again.

really very funny, stan is a little bitch tho

I don't really care for challenges, but man I wish I did that hunting one sooner.

Update : Some more time with it and I got more used to the timing and very odd way this game wants to be played. It's still sometimes very unbalanced, getting hit for over 50% of your life WITH blocking. However it seems to be very skewed in the beginning and you should just avoid battles until you get your 2nd character to swap. Barely two hours in and the only thing this game has in humor. Gameplay is a pain in the ass. How didn they NOT included an option to just skip the whole "press at the right time" BS. Before you say anything, some people have trouble with this, including me. Also no defend or skip turn so I have to attack or use an item I don't want to use because the only enemy left has reposte and I'm on Butters who I already used his ability? GG shit dev.

A lot of adult humor, totally worth the money.

Simple, fun, great childish humor, just like I like it. Think an interactive episode of South Park. Bravo!

Even though my game crashed a couple of times I still LOOOOOOVED it! Sososo much fun!!!

Man, I love this so much. I'm already 10 hours in. I guess my most favorite is me just finding all the random South Park references scattered here everywhere. Absolutely worth your money. <3
