South Park: The Fractured But Whole Gamer Review

 South Park: The Fractured But Whole Gamer Review

Southpark

As you already know this family has been gaming a long time. Hubby and I go way back to gaming forever, prekids. We also have had quite a few laughs with South Park. So when we heard about Sount Park: The Fractured But Whole we had to play it! South Park: The Fractured But Whole, the sequel to 2014’s The Stick of Truth is an awesome and well put-together role playing game experience. From its turn-based combat to its hilarious dialogue, The Fractured But Whole reminds fans of all the great concepts that made the first game in the series work. Now role playing as superheroes, as opposed to the medieval setting, Cartman and the gang, along with the player’s character, band together on an ultimate quest.

The Fractured But Whole feels like a series of television episodes that the player gets to interact and fight in. The video game plays like the Comedy Central series, and the jokes are up to par with that of the show. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker were extremely hands-on in the process of putting this game together, and the authenticity shines through into the final product. Getting to run around South Park is a great experience, as players interact with the environment around the, and encounter fan-favorite characters from the series.

The combat has also been improved since The Stick of Truth, which at the time I thought had mastered a simple and straightforward fighting system. However, the battle mechanics shown off in The Fractured But Whole are extremely easy to grasp, and make the fights feel more interactive than before. Similar to that of The Stick of Truth, as the game progresses, new characters are added to the party. These offer different combinations for battle, and help in keeping the experience fresh over the game’s run time. New characters each have their own special abilities, and can create some awesome and humorous sequences in battle.

With some extremely clever lines mixed in with the occasional juvenile wisecrack, The Fractured But Whole’s writing reminds fans why they love South Park in the first place. The pairing of the superb combat system alongside the strong dialogue made me keep pushing forward, sinking hours into the game at a time. All at once, The Fractured But Whole feels like a gripping gaming experience, while also making fans feel as if they are binge-watching a new season of the show. Overall, South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a must-play, even for those who are not hardcore fans of the television series. There are enough jokes here to appreciate, and the gameplay is definitely something gamers don’t want to miss out on. Click here to find out more about South Park: The Fractured But Whole.

Stranger Things 2- Are You Streaming?

strangerthingsToo

 As you may already know I am a member of the Netflix Stream Team. That means I get to share all the GREAT shows on Netflix with you. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I am obsessed with Stranger Things. I wasn’t sure at first if it was for me, but once I watched a few minutes into Season One episode one, I was hooked…completely hooked! I watched it, I had my sons watch it, and then I convinced hubby to watch. So we were ALL waiting for Stranger Things 2 to hit today, October 27th! Do you watch? If you do, I do not need to say a word, if you don’t let me make a suggestion…WATCH IT!!! It’s awesome!

Stranger Things: A love letter to the 80’s classics that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is set in 1983 Indiana, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.

Stranger Things 2: It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.

 

Stranger Things 2 is now streaming on Netflix

You can also find an amazing petting zoo where you can purchase some animal feed and enjoy feeding a variety of animals. Even the adults on hand could not help but reach in a pet some of those adorable little lambs, goats, chickens, bunnies and more. There was even a lama! So much fun! My daughter would have spent the entire day in the The Great Pumpkin fest. The cabanas are turned into little Trick-Or-Treat houses where different story book characters await trick or treaters with handfuls of yummy candy. It is a super cute experience for the kids.

We also loved the Pumpkin maze where the kids could choose there own take home pumpkin! There was a tent with tables where you could paint your pumpkin and leave it to dry for a later day pick up. Great idea! Along with that you could make your own mask and spend time coloring some spooky coloring pages. What a fun time! When you do visit don’t forget to grab some of the Halloween themed snacks and cotton candy! So delicious!

The parks new Haunt maze, Tourist Trap, is themed after a ramshackle hotel run by a morbid collector of the macabre. Tourist Trap will take guests back in time to the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago where they will witness the horrendous fate of patrons who checked in and soon after disappeared; scenes of terror and torture will shock guests during their twisted travels through a variety of hidden rooms. SO much fun!

Dorney Park allows guests to experience more fear during Haunt with the Fright & Fast Lane Pass including Skeleton Key. This premium add-on experience includes priority access to eight mazes and attractions and features more intense and interactive scares in seven Skeleton Key attractions.
