One of the more developed areas that have changed since the first game is combat, which is now wholly turn-based and built around lanes in a grid configuration. To their credit, the directors have attempted to almost write a whole season here, wholly interactive and playable by the player, however this means that like many seasons comprised of filler and standalone episodes the story takes many tangents before getting back on track and while the cut scenes are top notch and the jokes are generally on point and hilarious, the gameplay becomes structurally repetitive and slightly boring compared to the actual story it wants to tell. The game is structured over many days, with special missions occurring at night time and whilst is diverges into some truly odd and overly long side stories is wrapped up in the culmination of Civil War II & III. This is actually built into the gameplay encouraging the player, in true role-playing fashion to build their own religion, sex, sexual orientation and racial upbringing as the game progresses. This time around South Park is not playing it safe, doubling down on racism, nudity, sexism, drugs and many, many meta-narratives about gender fluidity and homosexuality. If The Stick of Truth was a game about unity, a band of brothers overcoming the odds on a quest to discover who they are, TFBW is a divisive, bitter tale of confused gender equality and identity that changes pace multiple times, is too long and then just drops off suddenly. Narratively TFBW is a lot tenser and in some ways unsettling then Matt & Treys’ previous attempt. This prompts everyone to switch sides, switch costumes and generally convene to discuss how their two respective franchise plans will play out in an effort to take over the world ala Marvel with the most number of profitable superhero movies! Cue Civil War!!

Cartman has decided he no longer wants to play ‘Fantasy’ and instead plays ‘Super Heroes’ becoming “The Coon” who travelled back from the future to stop the world from being destroyed.
