It released to near-unanimous praise from critics, who complimented the combat system, immersion, and writing.
South Park: The Stick of Truth used the show's Game of Thrones parody and characters as a basis for its story.
With a new South Park title in the works, The Stick of Truth should be a model for this upcoming game. This was done with the goal of creating a classic fantasy RPG set in the South Park universe it wanted to be a game that felt like a playable episode of the TV show. The creators of the show, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, were reported to be directly involved in the scriptwriting and premise, as well as voice-acting. However, something was different with South Park: The Stick of Truth. Previous titles under the South Park name had been released by that point, and all with mixed-to-negative reviews. When Ubisoft announced it was publishing a licensed game with Obsidian set in the South Park universe in 2012 there was some skepticism.
