The two most-loved South Park games are the RPGs.

The Stick of Truth set a new bar for South Park games and had a fantasy theme.

The Fractured But Whole went all in on superheroes and used a grid-based battle system and even had paid DLC stories.

For those who played both, which do you prefer and why?

Stick of Truth by far for me! I much preferred the turn-based combat and I thought the writing was much better and funnier.

Fractured But Whole had arguably better gameplay, but I much prefer the more simplicity Stick of Truth offers. I was just cruising through South Park in a way I never had before and all the callbacks to the earlier seasons, which is when I thought the show was best, was great to experience.

You really can't go wrong with either game though.

Was really hyped for Fractured But Whole but in the end I liked Stick of Truth a good bit more.

Stick of Truth still is the goat

Stick of Truth is where I throw my pottery piece.
The anus, fart, and fecal jokes really repulsed me from the second game.

Great responses so far, everyone.
Not one vote yet for FBW.
I had the impetus to do a third playthrough for Stick, which I just started. FBW will probably wait a while for the third playthrough as it is more drawn out.
In my rankings for Top 50 games (I've participated in 2023 and 2024 and will participate in 2025 as well), the South Park RPGs rank around 40 but this time I'm going to put Stick above Fractured.
While the games came out less than 4 years apart and feature many seasons of South Park elements, I think the feel they give is roughly this.
Stick: Seasons 5-11
Fractured: Seasons 12-21
Stick is the funnier game and has the appeal of being the first South Park RPG. Fractured mostly improves on the combat (with some drawbacks) but is not as funny. They're really close, bordering on tie. I'll slightly give it to The Stick of Truth.

Can't agree more

Stick of Truth since I beat the 360 and X1 version and still haven't bothered to finish Fractured But Whole.
