Promising Beginnings
SOUTH Park's recent gaming entries, Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole, delighted fans with their immersive gameplay that felt like being part of an episode, complete with shock humour and political commentary.
A Change in Direction
Snow Day! is the latest installment in the series, making a graphic leap to 3D and changing genres to a roguelike horde mode. While genre shifts can be refreshing, the game falls short in delivering the classic South Park humor fans crave.
Gameplay Woes
The focus on waves of enemies and sparse humor in cutscenes leaves much to be desired. With limited weapon choices and unbalanced gameplay, Snow Day! struggles to stand out in an oversaturated genre.
Multiplayer Dependency
Heavy reliance on multiplayer gameplay and unhelpful NPCs in single-player mode can lead to frustrating experiences. Players may find themselves overwhelmed in large hordes and facing challenges with limited support.
Final Verdict
If you're a fan of horde mode-style games, Snow Day! may offer some enjoyment. However, those seeking the quintessential South Park experience may be disappointed and better off revisiting older titles or tuning into the show.
