South Park: The Stick of Truth is a role-playing game set in the town of South Park, developed in collaboration with series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Players control a new kid who joins a city-wide live-action role-playing game among the local children, which escalates into a conflict with larger stakes. Combat uses a turn-based system with timed button inputs, and the game features exploration, side quests, and the humor of the animated series.
About the story
A child known only as the New Kid has just moved to the small mountain town of South Park, Colorado. Venturing outside for the first time, the New Kid is immediately drawn into an elaborate live-action fantasy war between the neighborhood children, who have split into rival factions of humans and elves battling for control of a relic they call the Stick of Truth. Led by the scheming wizard king Cartman on one side and the elven king Kyle on the other, the conflict escalates well beyond a simple children's game as genuine dangers emerge and threaten the entire town.

Critic Reviews
RPGamer
By Michael BakerTo stretch an analogy worthy of the game, South Park: The Stick of Truth is much like its “magic” burritos. It is far tastier than it has any right to be, taking a solid, meaty system for combat, beans and cheese for field interactions, and then wrapping them up in the tortilla of South Park.
Nintendo Times
By Jordan BrewerThis is a South Park game done right. You have the crude adult humor mixed well with the overall fun gameplay. The game suffers from a variety of smaller issues, but excels at providing an amazing experience for fans of the show.
FNintendo
By Tiago MarafonaSouth Park: The Stick of Truth is a faithful rendition of the world-famous series in an RPG format. Featuring a delirious plot with plenty of examples of the typical South Park humour and a well designed combat system, The Stick of Truth could rank even higher if its lifespan would be a bit longer.
IGN Italy
By Francesco DestriPrice and censorship aside, South Park: The Stick of Truth on Switch is still a great RPG after four years and (perhaps even more than the sequel) the best South Park game we could wish for.
