Really good game. Biggest upside? The story. They really outdid themselves. Plot twists galore, plus turning the "South Park nonsense" up past the maximum.

That's more or less how I'd have reviewed Stick of Truth after playing it.

I went into playing that game expecting it to be bad (doubly so because I wasn't a fan of the combat mechanics at first), and it wound up being awesome. It was especially appealing because it felt funnier to me than the actual show has for years now - it gave me the impression that they've been mostly half-assing the show (except for maybe 1-2 episodes per season) for a long time, but put all of their effort and interest into developing the narrative of the game.

I've been hoping the new game lives up to that high standard, though I've been holding off on buying it until I could hear some reviews. The shitty marketing practices of the game industry has left me incredibly wary and jaded when it comes to pretty much any new release, but especially anything with a strong hype train or that is part of an established franchise.
