THQ Nordic has finally unveiled "South Park Snow Day" and it will be out on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2024.
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.
Eduardo Reboucas:
We’re goin’ down to South Park gonna have an awful time with this game.
Hmmm, not too sure how I feel about the gameplay yet from this glimpse. I do like that they're trying to do something a bit different from the previous two games though. As awesome as they were.
Looks like a battle royale game. Not interested, but not going to be selfish and complain about them going back to MP.
Was kind of hoping it would be somewhat similar to the first 3D game, or something like GTA/Hit & Run, I'll have to wait and see what the actual gameplay is like, but the last 2 games didn't interest me if it's like that.
Sigh
They did two great single player driven games in the last 10 years and they've dropped that for some generic looking Battle Royale type game.
That animation style is awful aswell, you could have easily done a proper 3D environment and kept a similar art style to the show.
Why would they ditch the classic, cartoon look for this abomination? It makes it look like PS3 game...
