I started South Park The Stick of Truth.
I never was a big fan, I only ever watched a handful of South Park episodes back then. Regardless, it's pretty good even if you haven't watched most of it.
For sure, if you absolutely hate South Park, maybe don't get this...
But if like me you just never really got that much into it or haven't really kept up with it, it's absolutely fine.

Anyhow
In it, you start playing as a mute South Park newcomer protagonist who himself joins a town-wide bunch of LARPERs in an adventure that goes off the rails.
It doesn't shy from breaking the fourth wall.
It's utterly fucking stupid at times, which is expected.

Pretty fun so far.

Love that game. Had a joint playthrough with some of my friends back in college. Well I mostly watched and smoked weed, but I was there. I've also only seen a handful of South Park episodes but that game was a fun experience.

It's very fun. I also really enjoyed the sequel, even if it felt like it lost some of its charme and attention to detail in exchange for scope and combat depth. Felt a little harsh to switch to the next one, but I had a lot of fun either way.
