A Bland and Boring Hack & Slash
Here are the pros and cons, followed by a review: + Graphics are what I would have imagined South Park in 3D + Interesting card system + AI companions - It's in 3D - The story feels strew up together by mid-length quests - Snow Day is a long way from the original 2 games that came before - Instead of a persistent world, you have "quests". - The only persistent world is your base of operations where you "buy" stuff - You have 3 melee weapons and 3 range weapons - As for enemies, they have a variety of weapons you can't ever access for yourself - Same enemies time and time again - Hack and Slash (which isn't something I want in a South Park game) - Extremely lame garb - Not much to choose from, in terms of garb - You cannot modify your companions or their weapons The game itself is repetitive in combat, and all it literally is is button mashing. Seeing this game is for adults, which I am, I am NOT interested in button mashing whatsoever. Your companions are forgettable. The lack of customization in the game (especially for your companions) makes this a bland experience more than anything in terms of playing with them. There is a card system which I find intriguing and could have been nice to use, and the cards can be upgraded via the currency system. You can collect toilet paper (which is said currency), but you lose it at end of each act. So the idea of upgrading cards temporarily is just lame as all hell, as it feels like you are being punished at the end of each other by losing those upgrades. What would have been nice would have been able to carry that currency and those cards over. After all, your enemies use cards of their own, so it would make sense to have persistent cards. I would have definitely preferred an actual RPG, like the original 2 games... Or at least something that isn't what Snow Day is. And despite sometimes seeing the main characters, I felt they were absent when they should have played a bigger part (maybe as your companions?).
Is this helpful to you?
