"The South Park franchise has seen various video games released for it all the way up to a year after the entire series debuted in 1998 with an N64 FPS that is collecting dust in my old collection of N64 games in the garage. Developed by Acclaim, who released a myriad of different South Park games exploring different genres over the years, this was a rough start for the franchise’s video game history that was then given additional smaller releases later on. Thankfully Ubisoft managed to salvage that history with a pair of RPGs that managed to present a South Park story the way fans would expect while delivering some wonderful turn-based gameplay at the same time. Seven years later and now with a new publisher holding the license, THQ Nordic has taken South Park‘s latest game in a new direction by focusing on roguelike fighting and co-op multiplayer. The question is, is South Park: Snow Day! a step in the right direction or has the developer stepped in some “dark matter” instead?"
Matthew Owen from Super Gamesite 64 says... "South Park: Snow Day is a sequel that tries to shake things up, but to mixed results."
VGChartz's Stephen LaGioia: "Snow Day is pretty thin when it comes to both style and substance, offering not quite enough of either to hold up long-term, even with decent multiplayer support and interesting Roguelike bits. While I’ve played worse South Park titles, this one stands out by following two far better games: The Stick of Truth and, to a lesser extent, The Fractured But Whole. The departure in both content and quality is apparent given that it alludes to their lore and positions itself as a spin-off or quasi-sequel to them. Yet, the experience often felt more like an obscure 2000s action romp with a South Park overlay. Glimpses of fun were had — like when wiping out several foes with my fully-charged dagger swipes, pelting Elf-kid hordes with my turret, or coordinating with other players to beat a tough boss. As a whole, though, this is a rare snow day I could have done without."
NoobFeed editor Azfar Rayan writes - It's difficult to recommend South Park: Snow Day! to anyone who isn't a fan of South Park. The gameplay isn't solid enough for anyone to have fun with this. This game becomes tedious in a very short span of time. The jokes in the previous two games were a major selling point since they made the otherwise dull gameplay more interesting. Alternatively, the game's humor is nonexistent, and the gameplay becomes exceedingly dull.
I wish they'd stick to the south park 2d art style. Stick of Truth and Fractured but Whole nailed the look.
