Time to stop being lazy (at least, Im trying 😬)!
#104: South Park: The Fractured But Whole (PS4 - physical); Dec 19.
Already played and enjoyed the first game on PS3 (managed to import a NTSC disc, because of censorship issues here in 🇪🇺), then stacked the PS4 remaster (free digital code with this game) a year ago.
Forget about the medieval setting, now, the Coon and friends are super heroes!
While you see some things were copy/pasted from the Stick of Truth, the Ubi studio also added new things to the fights, you have to be careful with the effects of your super powers, when like bowling, you can throw enemies bumping into each other and keep an eye of where your teammates are.
I won't go as far as talking about tactical (some are calling this strategy) RPG because you're moving on squares, but you have the idea, I guess.
The story is fun to follow, as expected. Of course, you'll have to deal with fantastic farts abilities! 😄 New thing about this sequel, it has a 🇫🇷 dub, but for some reason Ubi got too close to their money and didn't provide the official dub from the series, but paid cheap 🇧🇪 voice actors for this. Like some other players, I decided to play this game with original voice over. After all, we didn't have any choice on first game.

About the 🏆, even if you have to play on hard difficulty + another surprise handicap, the game is not that hard because you can track your power level with the accessories you equip on your new kid. Max power is 800 (8 slots x100).
I'd say the most difficult boss is the MUTANT COUSIN KYLE, nearly everyone who did this game will agree with me.
I also remember the fight with evil cute satanist animals (yeah, we're definitively in South Park) with Santa as backup with my team. Finally, the optional boss: Morgan Freeman himself was okay (but beaten him on normal difficulty).
Hopefully no collectibles to seek this game, you can freely enjoy your walkthrough without having to check if you missed something. This sequel seems a little longer than Stick of Truth, according to a friend's PS5, I played this one ~33 hours.
