“The South Park franchise has seen various video games released for it all the way up to a year after the entire series debuted in 1998 with an N64 FPS that is collecting dust in my old collection of N64 games in the garage. Developed by Acclaim, who released a myriad of different South Park games exploring different genres over the years, this was a rough start for the franchise’s video game history that was then given additional smaller releases later on. Thankfully Ubisoft managed to salvage that history with a pair of RPGs that managed to present a South Park story the way fans would expect while delivering some wonderful turn-based gameplay at the same time. Seven years later and now with a new publisher holding the license, THQ Nordic has taken South Park‘s latest game in a new direction by focusing on roguelike fighting and co-op multiplayer. The question is, is South Park: Snow Day! a step in the right direction or has the developer stepped in some “dark matter” instead?”
