The sequel to "South Park: The Stick of Truth" is just as good, but won't offer anything new other than the revamped battle system. I understand that it is hard to innovate when bound to the same setting, but I am sure they could have tried a bit harder. The South Park map only got a few minor changes, and you get to walk around and look for collectibles, solve idiot-proof "puzzles" and battle enemies like in "The Stick of Truth".
The "The Stick of Truth" gameplay worked because it was supposed to be a parody of role-playing games. "Fractured But Whole" is meant to be a parody of Superhero franchises, but unfortunately it keeps the exact same RPG structure for no reason. Obsidian is mostly known for making RPG's, and I guess that turning the whole gameplay upside down could have been overwhelming and even a bit too risky if we consider the success of "The Stick of Truth".
I wouldn't call this a must-play, but it's definitely worth checking out if you are a South Park fan. The plot is not the strongest so far but has its highlights.

i really am not a fan of the new combat system. yes it's more detailed and complex, but i think the simplistic easy to understand, hard to master stick of truth combat is significantly better
Never could "get" the combat system. Like I understand how it works and how to win, but it's not fun and is quite ugly, visually. I had to drop this game because of it
