Aronus Posted November 12, 2024 Posted November 12, 2024 South Park: Snow Day! is a 2024 action-adventure game developed by Question and published by THQ Nordic in association with South Park Digital Studios. The game is based on the South Park animated series and takes place after the events of the previous games The Stick of Truth and The Fractured but Whole. It was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on March 26, 2024, and received mixed reviews from critics, with mixed reactions towards the change in art style, writing and humor, and criticism towards the gameplay, toned down content, and short length, with many comparing it negatively to The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole. South Park: Snow Day! centers around the four main characters—Eric Cartman, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, and Kenny McCormick—participating in snow-based fights and activities, with players assuming the role of a player-created character named The New Kid (as with the previous games the Stick of Truth, Phone Destroyer, and the Fractured but Whole). After completing the tutorial, the player is placed in a small hub world, in which the po[CENSORED]tion resides in Kupa Keep in Cartman's backyard. The player can interact with characters such as Cartman in which missions are selected, Mr. Hankey, who takes dark matter (actually feces) as currency to improve the player's perks through a skill tree, which can also be swapped to accommodate the player's preferences, Butters Stotch who keeps a record of cards found throughout the game, Tolkien Black who maintains the armory where the player can select weapons and abilities, and Tweek Tweak and Craig Tucker who maintain the Bazaar, where the player can purchase emotes or customizable clothes and hairstyles with platinum points. Once a mission is selected, the player must select a card that can improve abilities depending on their loadout, as well as a Bullshit card, that would give the players major advantages. Enemies will also have cards set before missions start. Arenas contain multiple chests that can carry Cheesy Poofs for healing, toilet paper that can be used as currency to upgrade cards, and dark matter. In combat, enemies will attack throughout the map, and occasionally use Bullshit cards placed at the start of the level. Jimmy Valmer will be found after each combat section and offer other cards or upgrades to preexisting cards before the player heads off to the next arena. Henrietta Biggle can also be found in places across the arenas to give players Tarot cards that can replenish Bullshit cards or hand out currency among other things. After completing the main story, Nichole Daniels will inform the player of Infernal Pacts, where they can find her during missions, and accept difficult tasks, which lead to rewards if they survive.
