however, having watched South Park S17E7~E9 beforehand does make it much easier to grasp the tone and internal logic of its world. the game feels less like a simple adaptation and more like an entire season of South Park that you can physically step into. rather than a cross media reinterpretation in the vein of The Last of Us, it functions as a parallel extension within the same universe. if those three episodes serve as a prologue, then this game is the true 'interactive finale' of that arc. so personally, i'd recommend watching S17E7~E9 before diving in.

as for the game itself: as a newer South Park fan, aside from the 30 FPS lock slightly affecting the experience, nearly everything about it surprised me. it uses traditional turn based combat and offers four class choices (Fighter / Mage / Thief / Jew), though you can only pick one per playthrough. i went with Mage, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. i barely encountered any difficulty spikes.

more importantly, this is not merely a licensed game wearing a South Park skin. Trey Parker and Matt Stone's level of involvement here is almost unprecedented for this kind of project. they personally wrote a script hundreds of pages long and voiced nearly every character themselves. in essence, they handled the game's core soul directly.

PS: in terms of tone, South Park may be loosely compared to adult animated series such as Rick and Morty, Inside Job, or Family Guy. that said, South Park occupies a more extreme historical position and is considerably more aggressive in its satire. if this game sparks your interest in the series, starting from Season one would be a very solid choice.

时隔十年给童年补个票，发现恶俗的地方我小时候根本没在意 很纯粹的在打游戏 笑死了，现在再玩别有风味，也看懂了不少以前根本没理解的梗
顺便游戏放在现在依旧好玩，虽然后面主角确实有点数值膨胀了但不影响有意思，玩了就舍不得停，非常沉浸式跟这群屁孩过家家hh可能之后有空会刷刷全成就，非常推荐 真是老少皆宜(并非)的体验
