Feels like playing an actual episode of South Park. It’s stupid, hilarious, and surprisingly solid as an RPG. I laughed the whole way through.

Epic adventure, gigatons of signature South Park humour, countless references to what feels like every episode they ever made. Simple yet addictive gameplay, graphics are pretty much identical to what you see in the series, so you truly believe that the character you created is now part of the franchise, it feels so good and smooth. If you are a South Park fan - you have to play this, there is no debate.

Did not expect a licensed game based on a cartoon to be genuinely good. And yet here we are. Obsidian somehow made it look and feel exactly like an episode of the show. The attention to detail is stupid levels of impressive. Combat is nothing revolutionary but it's engaging enough that you won't be alt tabbing every five seconds. The only real complaint is that the main story is over before you're ready for it to …

10/10 As a fan of the show, I might be a little biased, but this game kept me entertained from start to finish. There wasn't a single moment where I felt bored or just wanted to rush through a section. The humor, characters, and overall experience feel very true to south park, but even beyond that, it's simply a fun game in its own right. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or not, I think this is an easy …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THE funniest RPG I have ever played. I am a 50 year old man and I have been playing games since 1986 - that's a lot of games, believe me. This game made me laugh out loud several times in only the first 5 hours. Would I recommend it? You bet I would.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A World Made of Paper and Intent South Park’s humor, translated into play At first glance, South Park: The Stick of Truth feels like a joke stretched too far — a licensed game built on shock value, crude humor, and nostalgia for a cartoon defined by how little it seemed to care. Licensed games, after all, have trained us to expect shallow mechanics and reverent imitation. But much like the show it’s based on, The Stick of Truth hides its ambition behind profanity, daring you to mistake…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remembered my friend getting a cracked copy of the uncensored version a month before it was supposed to be released in Australia. A great game to enjoy if you are a South Park fan. It has all the crude humor and violence's from the tv show.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is perfectly fine to play South Park: The Stick of Truth without watching the show first, the game itself is remarkably complete as a standalone experience. however, having watched South Park S17E7~E9 beforehand does make it much easier to grasp the tone and internal logic of its world. the game feels less like a simple adaptation and more like an entire season of South Park that you can physically step into. rather than a cross media reinterpretation in the vein of The Last of Us, it…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first, South Park + Obsidian Entertainment + Ubisoft is not really a match I would be too much interested in. I never got hooked by the cartoon, and I already thought Ubisoft was kinda bland since they dropped Prince of Persia to make a ton of Assassin's Creed. But oh man, it does work! I finished this game back in 2015 and I remember liking it quite a bit back then. Now, more than a decade later I decided to run through it again: after all this time, I didn't even remember so many details…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've never watched south park, but I've played multiple playthroughs of this game and even now I still have the urge to play another. Gameplay, builds, mechanics, dialogue and story. Everything is really fun and well designed. Highly recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm barley through this game but am loving it, a must-play for those who love South Park no ubislop launcher involved for those wondering

I was like the Malcom X/Malik Shabazz of Judaism, giving up on black supremacy to join unified Judaism after Cartman told me not to let Kyle Jewwash me. Anyway, the game perfectly replicates the artstyle of the show, has lots of funny jokes, does a great job of letting you explore the South Park world and has a cool combat system. The problem I have with many turn based games is you don't…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**9/10** Absolutely hilarious from beginning to end. The game perfectly captures South Park’s humor and genuinely had me laughing at how ridiculous some of the quests and situations get. The combat is simple but fun, exploring the town is great, and there are jokes and references everywhere. My only real complaint is that I wish it was longer. One of the funniest games I’ve played and easily one of the best TV show adaptations out there.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you grew up watching the early South Park seasons, this game is an absolute nostalgia trip. It really feels like you're playing through a long-lost episode and seeing so many of the classic characters make an appearance was a huge highlight. The writing is genuinely funny and the interactions between the characters capture the show's humor perfectly. The gameplay is decent. The turn-based combat is fun enough, but it isn't particularly deep and can be exploited pretty easily once you figure…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Peak game, would beat up mongolians again and save princess Kenny from being molested :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just beaten the game. I now have lived enough and can die without any worries.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have so much to say about this game It's so good The story is even better than I expected with some great plot twists not just random dark comedy I laughed my ass off while playing The jokes are perfect they absolutely nailed them all The combat is pretty solid too It's a really good turn-based game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great game set in the South Park universe. I loved the turn-based combat with its unique attacks and enemies. Never would I have dreamed of circumcising Mongolian riders as a Jewish child in a video game. The Story is as unhinged as you would expect, but still very enjoyable. It feels a bit like the pretend games i played as kid, just with more swearing, gore and ridiculousness. Good times!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More than just a faithful adaptation of a cult TV series. It's a benchmark for translating a favourite property into a video game format, something that other licensed properties could learn from. And it's also the funniest game on the market. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3776057744 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3771170475

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →being 30 minutes away from the end when you've meticulously followed guides and double checking every second to make sure you didn't miss any friends or collectibles, only to find out you DID miss a single thing from at the literal start of the game is pure hell and i would wish it upon no one. i've already done this on ps4 years ago, why did i do this to myself. good story though but repetitive gameplay with the fights
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game, its south park turn based action gameplay is very enjoyable and still holds up in 2026 you can even run it on a potato.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the best ways to spend christmas time. a perfect comfort zone. the last one from the great run of Obsidian with licensed projects. no one could imagine how they would make a game from South Park, but they did it. again. i miss the time when they tried to reimagine other IPs and eventually always delivered a new classic. you could never predict what was next from them. but that was gambling, of course, and i'm glad the studio survived.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I CANNOT express this enough. This might be the best game ever created. I loved every single moment of the game and only got a little annoyed at the quick time events. This is absolutely my favorite game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A South Park RPG made by the same studio as Fallout New Vegas? Yes Please! Combat is fun, the dialogue is unhinged as ever, and the different areas each bring something new
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid, simple RPG wrapped in pure South Park insanity. Played it again 10 years after release, third time overall and it still cracks me up like it’s brand new. Combat is fun, progression is satisfying but let’s be real, you’re here for the jokes. And they do not hold back. It feels like playing a fully interactive episode, just way more unhinged. Not the deepest RPG ever made, but easily one of the funniest.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is such a well done RPG. I loved that they captured the essence of the South Park TV show, it felt like I was actually in an episode. I loved every moment of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love the combat in this game unironically might be one of the best rpg's ive played
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way better an RPG than it has any right to be, as well as feeling just like an extended South Park episode in the best way possible. Absolute must play for South Park fans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if south park was a game this perfectly captures it i can choose to be a jew and use abilities like jew-jitsu and circum-sythe and the sling of david to kill nazi zombies this game is peak
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's not really much to say, its a south park game. If you like the show play this and you'll have a good time well worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a fan of the South Park series in the 2000's and 2010's, you will love this game. It feels like you are in a South Park episode playing a turn base strategy game. The jokes throughout the game made me laugh out loud. I would recommend this game, had a blast.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game but put off by UBISOFT Launcher. The Ubisoft launcher will allow you to log in on the web but will tell you the same username/pw combo is false when using the launcher. Step1: got to web and change password to existing password. Step 2: mess about as Ubisoft require you to go back and forth with 2fa 3 times, despite not being able to recogbnize a correct password in the first place. Step 3: verify yourself a few more times. step4 : prepare to do this ♥♥♥♥ again next time you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The FUNNIEST game i've ever played BUT it has it's flaws... The Stick of Truth has so much fan service and references to South Park characters and lore that make this a must play for any fan of South Park. Looking back at the first trailers it's a shame that the final product turned out to be very different which is most likely because of the change in publisher, from THQ to Ubisoft. Right from the start i could tell from the user interface which looks bland and sort of unfinished that this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know why it took me so long to play this MASTERPIECE , this game is INSANE and it feels like they put so much effort and passion while making it, it still holds itself pretty well despite the years, this game and it's sequel are the only turn based games I have liked, that's how good this game is. if you like RPGs and/or South Park THEN PLAY THIS GAME Pros: It takes me back to that era of South Park that you will fondly remember, you feel like you're in the game with them as if this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The ultimate love letter to South Park fans. The Stick of Truth isn't just a game; it’s like being dropped directly into a 15-hour, unedited episode of the show. The writing is razor-sharp, the turn-based combat is surprisingly deep, and the attention to detail is staggering. Whether you're a hardcore fan or just looking for a hilarious RPG, this is a must-play masterpiece. 10/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely in my top 10 games oat. It perfectly submerges you into the world of South Park. I highly recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, so many laughs. Gameplay is about 12-15 hours. Would recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is literally the best south park game ever made, yeah the combat is more fun on the fractured but whole but the story and the crude moments are so much better on this game. If you live in EUROPE or AUSTRALIA you can download a mod on nexus to play the game with no censorship
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Def it's gonna be one of my fav games. Everything is just perfectly put together , and you can't miss the show it's peak! This game is piece of peak that worth your money , I'm sure!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stick of truth is everything I ever wanted from a South Park game. It is literally like playing an episode of South Park with fantastic story and the trademark insane humour. Laughed out loud while playing it front to back almost without stopping. If you like South Park you have to play this, and if not still probably have to play this as there is a good turn-based RPG in there as well. But who does not like South Park anyway.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a decent game that's typical South Park. You go up a man's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Honestly my only complaint is how short it is (and haha I say this with 30hs how ironic ha, ha.) considering it lasts 15hs on a normal playthrough if you do everything, and that you only play 3 days in-game. I'd expect it to be longer considering the focus on getting stronger, but it's still good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game but loads of glitches, for example when your fighting the third elf in Kupa camp during the elf attack, if you don't break his shield first try you get stuck in a loop and cant stop it unless you go back an entire checkpoint. really disappointing, would not recommend unless you have impeccable timing and can work around bugs. sort of want a refund or for it to be fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not a fan of turn-based games but this is one of my favorite games ever made. I would say TFBW feels more like a game but this FEELS like an episode of South Park. A lot of shows and movies try to do games based on an IP that most of the time aren't great (most of the time Lego Batman and the Cars games are really good) but this is perfect. It doesn't matter if you've never watched the show, only watched 1 episode, or have watched it to the point where you can quote every single line.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought for the South Park, stayed for the fun combat and RPG mechanics. It isn't challenging, however. Definitely on the easier side of things. If you like South Park and RPGs, buy it. If you don't like South Park...again why are you here?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's just like being a part of a South Park episode.
