But in keeping with recent events of the show, he aims to achieve this by gathering kids in the neighborhood and have each of their superhero personas become part of an elaborate franchise, a la the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His goal: to find Scrambles the missing cat and collect a $100 reward. In the midst of the first game’s climactic, fantasy-based battle, Cartman decides to create a time machine that will allow him to go back to the very beginning of the first game. The Fractured But Whole picks up almost exactly where The Stick of Truth left off. The final product is a fun, funny, polished, gross, and ultimately rewarding adventure that creatively ties into its predecessor from beginning to end. Luckily, South Park: The Fractured But Whole manages to elevate the core of the original in nearly every conceivable way. We liked Stick of Truth, blemishes and all, but there was much to improve on. After several delays, its successor is finally upon us. It’s been over three and a half years since South Park: The Stick of Truth graced last generation consoles with a funny but flawed adventure.
