Reviews from

in the past


pure fun. it's good in a completely different way than the south park rpgs, which i do prefer, but this is just really well done action gameplay. the first 2 chapters are a bit of a slog, but the rest is fantastic. i love it!

I know making RPGs are really hard but man you could've picked a better genre then co-op roguelike button masher. It probably didn't help that I played the whole game by myself but really I don't think I'd want to subject my friends with 5 drawn out level filled with spongy enemies, shallow rouge like systems, and almost no variety for missions or objectives; this game really is just 5 hours of samey looking areas with the same button mashing combat with shallow systems and nothing else.

I guess you could get some laughs from the game but personally I think South Park has gone downhill in the writing department for the past few years and this game just kinda proves me even more right that Tray and Matt are so washed.

If you really want to play a co-op multiplayer game with friends that’s less then 40 dollars just play Helldivers 2, honestly just fuck this game.

Joguei o recém-lançado SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! Eu sou um grande fã de South Park, porém somente os jogos, principalmente os da UBI, são maravilhosos e eu adoro. Além desses, existem outros diversos jogos da franquia que basicamente se sustentam pelo nome, porque de qualidade eles não têm quase nada. E aqui, nesse game em questão, ele se distancia da fórmula RPG que, por sinal, eu achava maravilhosa e tenta algo novo.

No game, uma enorme tempestade de neve atingiu a cidade de South Park. A tempestade foi tão forte que as pessoas ficaram loucas e começaram a estocar papel higiênico, mas isso não importa para os nossos personagens que, basicamente, são crianças e dia de neve significa não ter aula. Eles partem então para brincar e assim começa nossa história com você, um personagem criado se juntando à turma de South Park nesse dia nevoso.

Como dito antes, os games anteriores tinham uma pegada mais JRPGs e nesse game em questão agora a gente ainda tem alguns elementos de RPG, porém ele evolui mais para um RPG de ação. Aqui em Snow Day!, tudo é mais simplório, desde sua própria gameplay, que basicamente não tem nada demais, é somente vários inimigos vindo em um combate meio genérico, e também não há XP para evoluir, apesar de existir uma árvore de talento com habilidades. Suas armas no game se resumem em armas corpo a corpo na maioria das vezes e algumas armas de longo alcance que não são muitas como cajados e arco e flecha. Todo o estilo de gameplay, basicamente em grande maioria do tempo, lembra muito um hack slash da vida onde vários inimigos vão ficar vindo em grupo e você deve matá-los enquanto executa movimentos como esquiva. Como dito antes, é um sistema de combate bem simples, fácil de pegar e bem divertido ao menos no início.

Apesar de depois de um tempo eu achar a gameplay um pouco enjoativa, no geral o game traz com ele uma experiência bem sólida e objetiva e em grande parte de seu tempo consegui ser um game bem divertido. Uma coisa que me deixou com o pé atrás quando joguei ele foi o seu tempo de duração, eu demorei somente 5 horas para zerar o game, o que é um tempo bem curto bem abaixo da média convencional.

Outro ponto bem negativo aqui também é em relação à dublagem presente no game, até porque nos games recentes anteriores a gente teve dubladores originais da série animada dublando o game, o que faz uma total diferença na hora do game até porque o game é uma adaptação da série e não ao contrário e além disso toda a dublagem original da série é incrivelmente icônica. Aqui, tudo isso foi substituído por uma dublagem OK, porém sem a alma do elenco original presente na série, o que me deixou muito decepcionado.

Graficamente falando, o game ele não é feio, porém como o game se trata de uma série de TV, onde o estilo de arte simples que ele tem o torna icônico o 3D apesar de transmitir bem aquele sentimento do desenho mas uma vez ele não é feio mas deixa a desejar, até porque os jogos anteriores novamente como exemplo fazem um trabalho excelente somente brincando com essa "arte simples" que a série tem.

South Park: Snow Day! é um jogo ok de South Park, mas é apenas ok mesmo. A ação é boa, assim como a inclusão de elementos roguelike, a inclusão do multiplayer é ótima, mas a falta de jogo local é decepcionante. Apesar de supostamente parecer ter um fator replay bem legal, a presença de apenas cinco fases faz com que o jogo seja bem curto; mas no geral é um jogo divertido, mas não chega nem perto dos games anteriores.

Pontos Positivos:
- Game Divertido

Pontos Negativos:
- Curto demais
- Pouca variedade de armas
- Dublagem deixa a desejar
- Senti o jogo bem mais leve em seu tom

Mira que quería que me gustase, los dos RPGs son geniales, pero es que esto no sé si es un juego de móviles pocho o un juego incompleto que le faltan dos años de desarrollo.

Gameplay repetitivo sin gracia alguna y se completa en menos de cinco horas (menos mal). No entiendo qué ha pasado en este desarrollo.

For $30 dollars, this is one of the most worthy experiences I've had in a while. This game is ultra-fun in hard diffculty, full of the iconic South Park humor, and had plenty to like. I would love to see how it is with friends. Snow Day is vastly different from the past two games, but I think it is great that Matt & Trey are doing something new with the franchise.


it was indeed a game that was indeed released and i've indeed played and finished in 2024, undeniably it is a game

This game sucks. I do not understand why Matt and Trey decided to go back to 3D, because it does not work with these designs at all. Even without that, the game is a drab to look at. The colors are ugly, the animations are not portrayed well, and it is overall just really ugly, but does not even have the charm of the 1998 N64 game. Also this game is HARD! I played on easy mode for most of the adventure, and even then it was too hard. I got to level 4, and had to quit, it was so boring and again too difficult. The only plus is the writing. For the few times the characters speak, the game can be funny. Even then, why did they think it was a good idea to bring Mr. Hankey back here? Not all of your fans will play this game, so you should have had him return in an episode of "special event." Pretty disappointing. Eh, at least I start with this and now can finally get to Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole.

Nada comprova a existência desse jogo nada
A única coisa legal que tem são as piadas envolvendo os acontecimentos dos jogos anteriores apenas
A gameplay é um saco, deve ser muito divertido jogar com os amigos mas sozinho é só um saco não funcional
Sucumba jogo sucumba

What an unenjoyable basic experience this turned out to be, which is a shame considering the past two titles were an absolute blast to play.

The gameplay is so janky, the A.I is complete garbage. The level design is boring and set out in weird area type fights that end up looking the same. There is hardly much choice in terms of a build to your character.

Maybe I’ll come back to this eventually - I’m just glad I’ve gotten it through a subscription service and didn’t pay full price for this. Just seems like a massive cash grab.

It's fun if you have people to play with, but it is a pretty big downgrade from Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole.

i had high hopes for this game i realy did. with how good the other 2 south park games were i thought this had potential even with the complete different gameplay and look. now ill give it credit. when i played it with my friends, the first 2 chapters were so fun. but then, we had to replay a level around 4 times because of glitches and shitty npcs.

COMPARING THE THREE MODERN SOUTH PARK GAMES TO PAPER MARIO:

The Stick of Truth: The Thousand Year Door. Both are some of the most highly revered RPGs of all time. They have charm, wit, and very good gameplay.

The Fractured But Whole: Super Paper Mario. They differentiate a little bit from the traditional gameplay, but are both well liked to stand up on their own.

Snow Day: Color Splash. Both are boring, have annoying gameplay, and just aren't all that fun or interesting. They look good graphically though.

historia maais ou menos mais a gaameplay é bem daora

O que fizeram com South Park?

Eu posso ficar umas 10 horas listando o tanto que esse jogo me estressou e o quão ruim ele é, meu deus que combate tenebroso e frustrante, gameplay horrível, história pior ainda.

Não joguem isso, não comprem, preservem a sanidade mental de vocês.

This game has some interesting ideas, but at only four hours of playtime, it doesn't really have the time to build on them. There's just so little meat on the bones here. And there's so little replay value in this game. Some of the roguelike stuff is interesting, but again, the game is too short for it to be developed.

The saddest thing is that even the atmosphere failed, childish games in a snowy city - this could have been really cool, and the devs had already managed to immerse the players in the world of the game in their previous project - "The Blackout Club", it was not very successful, apparently that’s why they they forced to do this nonsense based on the film license, it doesn’t look like a snow-covered city, it’s some kind of empty biome-forest, from which the tops of buildings stick out in places, i can’t believe that there is some kind of infrastructure under the layers of a snow storm, can`t belive in this world, can`t feel than this is some kind of cartoon universe.
In terms of gameplay, this is a very strange mix of a 2-button Beat ’em up and card abilities, which, paradoxically, turned out to be more boring than ordinary 2D bitemups games, the animations of hits are crooked, while the animations of the effects are normal, things often use childish drawings, I understand that this copies the drawings of the TV series, but still Steam is already full of games with cheap designs and interfaces, for 30 bucks you want some kind of “expensiveness” in the game.
All the activity in the story missions seems to consist of defeating a bunch of enemies and bringing an items, with a banal boss at the end, for 4 hours of the entire campaign.
But still, this is far from the worst co-op game if you have nothing to do with a friend.

Самое печальное, что не удалась даже атмосфера, ребяческие игры в заснеженном городе - это, могло быть действительно прикольно, а у разработчиков уже получалось окунуть игроков в мир игры в их предыдущем проекте - The Blackout Club,
он был не очень успешен, видимо поэтому их заставили делать ерунду по кинолицензии, так вот, это не выглядит, как заснедженный город, это какой-то пустой лес с иногда торчащами верхушками зданий, не веришь, что под слоями снежной бури находится какая-то инфрастутура.
По геймплею это очень странная смесь 2-кнопочного битемапа и карточных способностей, что, парадокасльно, получилось скучнее обычных 2д битемапов, анимации ударов кривоватые, при этом анимации эффектов нормальные, вещи часто используют детскую рисовку, я понимаю, что это копирует стиль сериала, но всё же в Стиме итак полно игр с дешёвыми дизайнами и интерфейсами, за 30 баксов хочется какой-то "дороговизны" в игре.
Вся деятельность в сюжетных миссиях вроде бы заключается в победи кучку врагов и принеси предмет, с банальным боссом в конце, на 4 часа хронометража всей кампании.
Но всё же, это далеко не худшая кооп-игра, если вам нечего делать с другом.

"I'm not just sure, I'm HIV positive" that 'South Park: Snow Day!' is a bad day.

This game is a tired, lazy, unimaginative, poor attempt at the continuation of the recent South Park games that feature you as the "New Kid" who moved into the neighborhood during The Stick of Truth, which was the first entry into these line of games.

I wanted to give this game the benefit of the doubt upon seeing the initial trailer for the game but Snow Day, which was developed by Question LLC and published by THQ Nordic, decided to rip away the charm and magic from the third installment of the New Kid Trilogy; all of which were reasons why the first two games were so special.

The immersion of being in an extended episode of the South Park animated series is is completely gone, therefore, the dialogue and humor you experienced in the first two games are now watered down and essentially non-existent. The change from 2D to 3D made the environment and all the characters in it appear lifeless (Let's just admit that outside the self-titled South Park game for N64/PS1, South Park 3D games do not work). But the greatest sin of them all was the attempt to change the combat and playstyle of a traditional turn-based RPG into a low effort live service, hack 'n slash, adventure game. The formula for success was right there and they squandered it.

I understand the need to try something different, they even addressed it in the game that "New Kid" has become too OP so they had to change the rules but they swung and missed on all accounts. If they wanted to switch things up, South Park does not lack material to take inspiration from. Although WrestleQuest did it first, a South Park attempt at a wrestling inspired turn-bases RPG would have been tons of fun and they already have an episode from the show to continue the shenanigans from. Or better yet, how about a spin on the game the kids play "Texans vs Mexicans"? An outrageous concept for a game sure but something a South Park game could getaway with and potentially pull off.

For the price of admission of $30, 5-6 hours of gameplay still feels very short, the combat is extremely repetitive, and worst of all, if you die mid level, you have to start the mission over. Maybe that isn't annoying to some but when the game is obnoxiously difficult on medium and hard but too simple on easy difficulty, finding the right balance for you can be a struggle to enjoy when trying to play the game.

I'm sure this game will tickle the fancy of some players and maybe my expectations for Snow Day are skewed coming off the success of two solid, well-made games that I enjoyed very much but this even as a standalone game would not appeal to me. It's a quick cash grab off a popular IP that is wonky and passionless. Not even multiplayer can save this mess of a game since there are so many better options out right now that you could be playing with your friends instead. South Park: Snow Day! is just another thing to blame Canada for.

boring, generic combat, ugly, whatever story, just nothing much here.

just a little too janky, the humor just didn't really make me laugh I haven't watched South Park in a while so idk how this compares to the show but what is here is fine but not hilarious, the game 3d style is ok for adapting a 2d animated show to 3d but I am also not gonna lie and say it looks amazing

WHERE'S THE REST OF THE GAME

In Stick of Truth and Fractured Asshole, you're hurled from grand setpiece to grand setpiece. GIANT NAZI ZOMBIE FETUSES. TRAVELING THROUGH TIME WITH THE POWER OF FARTS. SHRINKING DOWN TO BATTLE UNDER YOUR PARENTS AS THEY FUCK. Fuck YES.

In Snow Day, you begin in a grassy field covered in snow. Then, you travel to a grassy field covered in snow. BEFORE GOING TO WAR WITH KYLE, STANDING OFF IN A GRAND BATTLE FOR THE AGES IN a grassy field covered in snow. Ehhh maybe I'm not being fair. A TRAIN. I SAW A TRAIN AT ONE POINT. It didn't do anything but THERE WAS LIKE HALF OF A TRAIN KINDA STICKING OUT OF THE GRASS AND SNOW LET'S FUCKING GO WOOOOOOO

What's square, the attack button and square all over? SQUARE, THE ATTACK BUTTON, THAT YOU'LL BE EXCLUSIVELY PRESSING EVERY GODDAMN BATTLE. I accidentally pressed L2 at one point, triggering my ranged weapon. It did barely any damage. I went back to mashing square.

EVEN THE CUSTOMISATION. Do I want a hoodie with no colour whatsoever, or a hoodie with colour... WITH THE WORD “SNOWBOARD” ON IN THE BIGGEST FONT THEY COULD FIND. Now I gotta pretend to be passionate about snowboarding everywhere I go. I've never even snowboarded. I HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED SNOW SINCE 2017. Well I have now, IT'S ALL THIS GAME HAS.

And while shopping, THE CHARACTERS. DO NOT. SHUT THE FUCK UP. Despite you only being in the shop for 20 seconds because there's five t-shirts to browse, you WILL hear Tweek and Craig say the same joke three times consecutively.

BUT THEN THE CHARACTERS GOT NOTHING WHEN YOU ACTUALLY WANT JOKES FROM THEM. There you are, slogging through the grassiest, snowiest field you've ever seen, in DEAD SILENCE like the past 20 minutes, and OH SHIT! CARTMAN'S ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING. YOU'RE ABOUT TO FEEL SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AN HOUR. “Remember you can press R1 to put down a healing totem”...

This game is the most early 2000s licensed PS2 game of all time. It's not as bad as you've probably heard, it's perfectly FINE… but just watch the cutscenes on YouTube dude.

I swear whenever South Park makes a 3D game its the definition of "rough transition into 3D"

This game isn't the greatest but it is definitely overhated. As long as you play this game with a couple of friends you will have a good time.

nao diria que é uma continuação digna dos outors jogos, mas é um jogo até que bom desconsiderando ele como um jogo de south park

After Having Played 104 Hours Of The Game I Think Its Safe For Me To Say I Enjoy This Game Alot And While I do Very Much acknowledge that it is 100% weaker than the other south park games but I really do think its still a great game. I Weirdly enjoy this games plot as I think it fits well into south park and could possibly be in a mid tier episode. I also think this game is an actually really cool speedrun as it features quite alot of glitches and skips but does sadly rely heavily on good rng


Oh man how I am disappointed in this game, from the trailer I really wasn't that excited since it didn't really show much besides the new 3D look and combat/hack & Slash and right after finishing chapter 2 I felt bored because the gameplay gets repetitive, the audio sounds weird, the mechanics feels so weird and clunky and also I hate how they changed the gameplay like they did. I loved Stick of Truth and The Fractured but Whole but this wasn't it. Also this game is what like 3-5 hours long? This game is worth $20 on sale nothing more, thanks to steam for refunding my money.

Now onto the actual game:
Gameplay: For the first 15 minutes it's alright but after awhile it just gets repetitive and boring. You are doing the same thing again and again it also feels clunky as well even when you are slashing some of the elves.

Audio: The audio in some parts sounds so weird and off putting even with some of the characters it sounded weird.

Combat: It's your typical hack and slash and they also added in cards that can increase your bow damage, shoot more arrows while charged, increase your sword damage and added in bullshit cards. The combat looks alright but when you start playing you will get bored because half the time you just doing the same thing with such little story.

Characters: Loved seeing some of my favourite characters even the first boss fight was cool, wish they just sticked with the first 2 games mechanics though because this just wasn't it even with the characters.

I would not SUGGEST THIS GAME with the current price tag it has, when it goes down to $15-20 I would suggest buying it but even then this is just mid and honestly shouldn't of got released even with this new 3D format and gameplay it sucks. Thankfully Steam gave me a refund. In all honesty I would finish this game but like I just can't be bothered sitting there mindlessly spamming the same button again and again while being bored out of my mind due to the repetitive gameplay.

My Review On Steam:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/RavenCarpenter/recommended/1214650/

Finally a new South Park game! Im a huge fan of the show and love the previous two games so lets see what this one has to offer.

The Good
- The dialogue is funny as always.
- The 4 player co-op was surprisingly really stable when I played online.
- The story of the game heavily ties into the ongoing plotline in the show. You don't really see ongoing games that tie into the show as much as South Park games do. It adds to the charm tremendously. There were many times during the plot where I'd be all like "HEY I REMEMBER WHEN THAT HAPPENED IN THAT EPISODE. NOW I GET TO BE A PART OF THE STORY?". Cool stuff.

The Meh
- Generic gameplay
- Repetitive Rougelike combat system
- Other than Cartman, the bosses were kinda mediocre.
- I'm not really fond of the 3d art style. Like I don't think it's bad but compared to what came before, it's not the best.

The Bad
- The game does a bad job at explaining how the online matchmaking works.
- If you join a game, you have no control over where you get dropped into the chapter, inevitably leading to you getting confused about where the plot is going.
- A lot of what the game tries to do gets old after subsequent playthroughs which is not good for a roguelike game.

Conclusion
Okay so obviously this game is not as good as the previous two but for what it's worth, it's a pretty fun time. Of course, the game has its problems and comparison to the 2d games are inevitable due to how much charm those games had but I feel like a lot of people are overreacting a bit. You pay $30 for a short and fun romp through a snowy south park with witty dialogue and decent combat. I personally had a good time with it and am glad we're still getting new South Park games. Now if you excuse me, I got other games to get back to so screw you guys I'm going home.

This review contains spoilers

Le Jeu est jouable mais l'histoire un impeux bancal comme la Saison 25

(PS : Pour un AAA entre 21 et 30 euros c'est pas cher)

Snow Day is quite a tricky one because I haven't tried the other SP games and it's my first one, some elitist will say that this game sucks for changing the gameplay into 2.5D in 3D completely but for someone like me the first time I played it was amazing, the combat felt nice the story was right for the series scenario and there's co-op missions to play.

Gameplay
Like I said, the gameplay looks very good the graphics are charmful combined with the snow theme but one thing that will always suck in this game must be the bots, they will always die no matter what you do in the 5 chapters of the game and you will be almost all the time awarded with the medic class rank. The gameplay fits perfectly with the RPG and fast peace movement and the cards deck are unique with the weapons upgrades and character customization, the game is optimized for a 2019 specs pc and it runs very well. Only in chapter 4 you will encounter some performance issues but that's the game fault since I played the version from the launch that came with some major problems. You will find gamemodes like waves so you will have some fun without the main campaign which is fairly short.

Story
Miraculous blizzard day strikes and cartman is happy to be home and play with his buddies, but this snow storm is not something usual at all but you are the new kid in town and cartman makes connections between you and stan,kyle,and kenny. The main antagonist isn't known in the beginning but you start in the early chapter to fight with kyle known as the elf king and then later on fighting with kenny as well known as the princess and the last one being stan the barbarian. After all of them cartman knew that the blizzard will end somehow and he betrayed all of you to maintain this weather so he will not go to school, after fighting him in his grand wizard form all of you realize that the main antagonist is mr hankey because he got canceled on twitter and to consume his rage he used his magic to strike a snow day in south park, after fighting all of these bosses which are your friends it's time to take the last one and the most dangerous one out that being hankey, all of you gather in his location and climb up to reach him and once you are there the new kid has to strike him but being so powerful it will make hankey fulfilled with magic power as well, after one punch he transforms into a huge shit monster and you have to take him out with cannons powered by toilet paper to wipe him out. So it is done, south park is saved and the group goes to school until jesus comes out of nowhere and he tells the kids that what they did to hankey was wrong when he was down and no one helped him so they decided to offer forgiveness to hankey and wish for another blizzard day.
