South Park: The Fractured But Whole [official site] is essentially the show s greatest hits, with 20 years worth of call backs, characters and gags, all built around a LARP-inspired RPG that sees the town s foul-mouthed kids beating the snot out of each other. If this sounds extremely familiar, that s because I ve also just described its predecessor, The Stick of Truth.
Crab People, magical farts, obsessively collecting social media pals, Morgan Freeman — they are all back. Only the switch from wizards and Elves to superheroes, something that could have been a superficial change, manages to keep it from feeling like watching a repeat.
