South Park Snow Day is MASSIVELY Disappointing

About 10 years ago, South Park: The Stick of Truth was released to wide acclaim AND sincere adoration from fans of South Park itself. Somehow they had managed to make an unbelievably authentic South Park experience in the form of a Role Playing Video Game. About 3 years later they followed it up with an even more robust sequel, The Fractured But Whole, delivering an elevated, more ambitious, and more cinematic experience than the first. So needless to say, after the announcement that another South Park game was in development, fan anticipation was HIGH. And in August 2023, South Park Snow Day was announced, which I would say was met with… mixed reactions. Whereas the previous games made you feel like you’ve been dropped into an episode of South Park, Snow Day looked to be an entirely different beast, abandoning the 2D paper cut out style of the show for a fully 3D action adventure co-op game. And now, a mere 7 months after that announcement, the game is here. So the question is, does it deliver a fun South Park experience, or is it too big of a departure after the previous entries were such adored extensions of the show itself? Let’s trudge through the mountainous piles of snow and dive into the world of South Park: Snow Day!

Stick of Truth was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, a studio that tends to put out creative, well-written games that can be a bit buggy at times (might be a mild understatement). Fractured But Whole was developed internally by Ubisoft, a company that, while over-reliant on the Open World Checklist formula, has a lot of great developers with a ton of experience. Snow Day was developed by Question LLC, who have released only one other game, a survival horror game in 2019 that doesn’t even have its own Wikipedia page. The difference in quality is not shocking.

It's really not that bad being a game adaptation of a show developed by a team nobody knows anything about. It could've been absolutely awful but I think it goes to show how much influence Matt and Trey had over the game that it still feels like South Park and has a competent gameplay loop, even if it's a bit boring.

You know the more I think about it, if they wanted to do a 3D South Park game, they could’ve taken inspiration from the Paper Mario series in terms of exploring. The character could’ve been walking around as flat paper while the environments around them could’ve been made out of paper or cardboard.

I wish you would elaborate on what you mean with replay value. Besides choosing a different class the playthrough won't be much different from your first one. I would maybe replay it after a year or two passes so it isn't as fresh on my mind. Most of the quests have one way to beat them and the characters don't make new jokes. I also think this game is underwhelming, but can we stick to accurate criticism? The only thing I could agree with is the lesser amount of content and which we can assume might be added with continuous patches and DLC.

I agree with all of these comments too and would probably add that the lack of content really is a huge problem because of how heavy the storylines were in the past two games. While it would have taken much longer, if they had as much content/writing as the past games it would have really made this hack and slash game so much better. I also believe that the lack of weapons really makes this hack and slash game very eh.. especially because I feel there is only one or two weapons that feel relevant when playing.

They could’ve made a hilarious South Park dating sim where the whole school starts being obsessed with a “power couple” and it turns into a huge status competition and u have to navigate it like a choose your own adventure. Depending on who u talk to the most and what u say different events get triggered, Cupid cartman can be a big antagonist by making couples cheat and switch around a bunch, making it that much more chaotic, and the climax is that eventually all the parents start getting invested and the entire town becomes obsessed with the “best couple” only for them to break up right after the game ends. Instead we got fortnight but with snowballs and weeble wobbles.

Honestly that would be kinda hilarious; sorta like a combo of South-Park Fractured movement, Stick of Truth’s combat and flavor and world BUT have something like Monster Prom’s system for the ‘dating’ part and have New Kid be a counter to a ‘Cupid Cartman’ as he continues to manipulate the town as New Kid tries to either side with Prof. Chaos Butters being a villain or just rolling with the punches still and helping everyone out. Maybe even have the finale be the New Kid using their Social Media powers to manipulate everyone to think Cartman is the best and have them constantly look at Cartman thinking ‘he’ll do something interesting soon’ so he can’t physically disrupt the relationships anymore without his scheme being revealed.

As big as South Park is, it's still a "niche property" for video games. Multiplayer focused games need a healthy player base. Tying your multiplayer game to a fixed fanbase by using an existing IP is an initial boon to the playerbase, but has been shown time and time again to fail in the long-term because the potential for growth is tied exclusively to that IP. Heavily limiting the growth potential of the game and community.

The game lacks story, in my opinion, compared to the other two games, as well as theres many questionable things for gameplay. One is range weapons. Two, servers are questionable, and playing solo is not as fun because theres not as many things that you could try. Like when starting a mission, if you have friends or whatever, everyone gets a choice for bs cards, and it allows for more chaos. The last thing is that they should have more customization in everything. From clothes to cards so we could have more fun with the game instead of being so restricted.

Such a good review! I’ve read other comments on the game writing it off as bad purely bc it’s 3D or bc of its alternative gameplay style vs the previous RPG mechanics (which I understand will cause inevitable disappointment for long time fans like myself who LOVED previous games) - so I appreciate hearing your thoughts on specific qualities in addition to the visuals and gameplay itself, like the world environment, storyline, progression, etc. I couldn’t agree more that the world feels a bit disjointed as far as dialogue and side quests/story arcs go. Would’ve loved more opportunities for exploration! I think you’re probably right that they aimed for replay-ability on this one too, with tweaking your combat style and skill tree - but when the actual gameplay is so repetitive, I’m afraid the incentive to run again just isn’t there for me, personally. It may not be my cup of tea (I’m biased for RPG) but at least we can respect the consistent artistry of the SP creative team! Thanks for the interesting review! Your hard work is appreciated! c:

Mr 2Cellos, that you still so lovingly suggest viewers check out your trip to Casa Bonita, which I have, makes me smile the most wholesome of smiles. Clearly, we are of the same mind. I wanted to ask after your experience with tabletop board gaming because as is well known among fans at this point, Trey is an unashamed board game dork, as am I. I wanted to know how you felt about the card system because to me, I could feel Trey's fingerprints all over that aspect. Like, you just KNOW my dude owns multiple expansions for Dominion.

The fact that they could have made a game that was based on when they played ninjas and then didn’t take it makes me Irrationally angry. Like even if they kept this style of game, and just made it with more content and more replay value it would of been so cool to me and they could of changed the card system to a weapon based skill tree system so that every weapon gave you multiple different options(an example would be the ninja stars you could either use them as ranged weapons, or lose the dps but impale someone’s eye and get them as like a dog companion) like they had such cool ideas and didn’t take them like bro😭😭

I agree with all of this but I also have some smaller yet important (to me) issues like... It's been this long and we still haven't seen Tegridy Farms in a South Park game. Where's DikinBaus? I actually loved the graphics, and exploring South Park was my favorite part of the game - I wish we'd AT LEAST get more of THAT.

@FlasKamel Ай бұрын

Also, honestly: This felt more like a "snow day" game than a South Park game, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was their approach. Maybe they were feeling a bit nostalgic.

@gamecasthaawsome6398 Ай бұрын

Thank you for the in depth review from the eyes of a south park fan. Most other reviews I found were very shallow or were from sponsored content creators. I personally came into this game from the eyes of a Question LLC fan (the devs of South Park Snow Day) as I was excited to see Question get their hands on another project as their last one The Blackout Club is one of my favorite games of all time and I felt was done dirty due to lack of money. So even though I knew taking on the South Park project was likely to get more funding for Question I was still excited to see the devs of one of my favorite games get to work. I was also excited because I haven't interacted much with south park since around the time Phone Destroyer launched. My feelings about this game were as follows... It's alright but it doesn't feel as replayable as The Blackout Club because the general gameplay doesn't feel... smooth or fun it's just a lot of button masking attack and dodging attacks. I was just also annoyed with some of the gameplay choices the devs took alot of the choices just seem strange to me ESPECAILLY THE DLC AND THE SEASON PASS, the pass is almost the same price as the game. I was also expecting some more substance from the "South Park" element. It just didn't feel like a south park game to me it felt like a generic game with some good visuals. The previous games from Question were very far from generic which made me love them. I hope for a bright future for South Park Snow Day but I'm going to put it down and pick it back up later.

@lhfirex Ай бұрын

I get that they wanted to make it a live service game, but these games almost always feel like they launch with not nearly enough stuff to do as a video game, trying to get you to keep checking in on it later. It would have been a lot better to delay this release until the new season of the TV show was coming out so they could have more stuff to do and content updates ready to go.

Honestly instead of using four random kids as your companions if you don't have anyone to play, they should've used the secondary characters. Since this is the Fantasy version of the characters the only we have used in SoT was Jimmy, so it would've been cool to have him back alongside Tolkien, Craig, Tweek, Clyde and Timmy. Hell, also include some of the more underused ones like Kevin and even the girls, cuz some of them got Fantasy skins in Phone Destroyer

I would've been happy if they made the map smaller and made it change as you progress, making the snow pile up and having that affect the area. The 3D graphics also look off. Almost like they needed a bit more time on the lighting system. And like others mentioned, a 'Paper Mario'-esque art style also could have worked.

@UnknownDeadman Ай бұрын

I think they could save it by adding in more abilities, some more maps around the new areas of south park like Tegridy farms for example, and maybe some maps around the school yard where you could pvp up to 4v4 and if you do 4v4 you could make it so that when an ability like the healing totem only one kid could have it. Kinda like being made the healer of the group. Idk.

This game is just another attempt by game developers to milk fans with Battle passes and micro transactions that no one asked for. They could've made the game everyone wanted but got greedy. Everyone acts like the south park creators are such good guys but in the last few years they've made decisions based purely on making money and screwing fans. The fact that I have to subscribe to TWO gd streaming services just to keep up with this show is a prime example of how f-ing greedy these people have become. Everyone acting like they're somehow getting one over on HBO's Max by also striking a deal with Paramount Plus. No you dummies they're screwing US over too.

I know they did 3D for the coop idea but I think they could've pulled off a Castle Crashers kind of deal and the game would've still been the same at its core. I don't mind the 3D look but a beat em up 2D sidescroller in the style of Castle Crashers would have been cool to try I think. In that way it still could've looked and played like a realtime combat version of the previous two games.

I think my big thing is where SoT & FbW felt like independent seasons where as SD feels like a 2/3 parter special. Mechanically it really needed 3 more weapons in each category to feel at least not bare bones. Also a hub area like "The Division". aka. A large hub area where the "goal" is to keep the peace but you can also be a dick & screw over other players; get bad karma & become a target yourself. As is now, it's fine, competent, just bare bones & a bit disappointing.
