VIDEO: The new South Park game is exactly as gas and as filthy as you’re imagining

Plenty of poo-based minigames.
The new South Park game is upon us, and it's full of the same crude humour, foul language and butt jokes that made the first one so good.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole sees you return to South Park as The New Kid. You'll be playing out a superhero roleplay game with Cartman's group Coon and Friends, trying to uncover an evil element in the town that you'll mostly need to defeat using your farts.
The game is out today, but we got our grubby mitts on the game already and we loved it. It's clear that the gameplay is a lot like the last game, playing out like a questing RPG. So that means lots of loot, crafting and improving weapons. The combat is turn-based like the Final Fantasy series, but the biggest difference since the last game is the combat - with a new grid-based system to add to the turn-based style. Real old school.
It's a surprisingly satisfying game to play too. Each of the gang's home is fully accessible as you explore the town of South Park, and it's tough to fight the temptation to explore every last inch of the place for some inside joke or well-hidden crafting gear. Combined with the strong gameplay and hilarious plot, there's plenty to keep you playing for hours.
