Critic Reviews
AltChar - Semir Omerovic - 80 / 100Atarita - İdil Barbaros - Turkish - 60 / 100In a nutshell, South Park: Snow Day! is a great game that offers plenty of the classic South Park humour on top of engaging and fun combat and an interesting main story. While it's quite short and strongly focuses on co-op which some may find as a drawback, I still think it's worth the 29,99€ price point.
CGMagazine - Zubi Khan - 7.5 / 10While South Park: SNOW DAY! is a South Park product with it’s humor, story and character dialogues; the game itself unfortunately lacks this quality. If you're not a South Park fan, this game will appeal to you at first, but after a while you might get bored as if you've been buried under the snow.
COGconnected - Rhett Waselenchuk - 69 / 100South Park: Snow Day! successfully translates the flat, construction paper aesthetic of the show into a fun, modern 3D co-op action title priced appropriately for the amount of content available at launch.
Checkpoint Gaming - Victor Tan - 8 / 10South Park: Snow Day by no means lives up to its predecessors. Still, it manages to be worthwhile for those invested in the franchise.
Digital Trends - Giovanni Colantonio - 1.5 / 5South Park: Snow Day! brings a snow day to life by letting children direct power struggles between nations. The trademark humour of the series returns, making you laugh every step of the adventure. A robust combat system helps you coordinate with your allies while encouraging exploration and taking advantage of your environment. Even if you are alone, AI bots are trustworthy allies who do their best to help. Upgrades are also handled nicely, giving you a variety of playstyles for your character. While chaotic combat and satire might not be for everyone, this remains a solid game to play with others.
Downtime Bros - Sam Harby - 5 / 10South Park: Snow Day! brings the cartoon’s up-and-down foray into gaming full circle. The co-op adventure underwhelms with sloppy action, repetitive combat, and a poorly implemented roguelite structure. Fans of the show’s first few seasons may get some laughs from its throwback humor, but the fun setup gets flushed down the drain like Mr. Hankey.
GGRecon - Joshua Boyles - 2 / 5If you enjoy fighting endless waves of enemies in simple combat, then there might be something here to enjoy. But for most, South Park: Snow Day! is a decidedly skippable spin-off game, even if you’re the most diehard of South Park fans.
GameGrin - Alana Dunitz - 9 / 10What’s unforgivable is that, at its core, South Park: Snow Day! isn’t remotely fun to play. Its combat and progression systems aren’t engaging, and only the most hardcore of South Park fans will find a glimmer of hope in the bulletproof humour that’s borrowed from the cartoon.
Gameblog - SutterCane - French - 6 / 10South Park: Snow Days! This game is full of humour and personality, combined with great visuals and music. It's so much fun to play!
Gamer Escape - Justin Mercer - 6 / 10South Park Snow Day could have been one the worst games of this iconic series, but it's not ! If you like the humor and you're cherish all these characters, you could have an enjoyable moment alone, or with friends. Playing this game in co-op eliminates this feeling of artificial difficulty. The experience feels a little bit old, but there are cool elements like playing cards. Give it a shot if you love South Park and don't expect a great game.
GamingTrend - Adam Moreno - 85 / 100South Park: Snow Day!’s most prominent issue is one of fundamentals. The game’s namesake is very much intact and handled exactly in the way you would hope as a fan of the show, but the meat and potatoes of the actual gameplay leave much to be desired. Its humorous, surprisingly robust roguelike elements and attention paid to its source material simply aren’t enough to offset the detriments to its simplistic combat and repetitive structure.
God is a Geek - Chris White - 7.5 / 10If you love South Park, this will be the best $30 you could spend to have another adventure with all your favorite characters. With a completely different game style than the most recent South Park games, Snow Day! gives you five chapters of the main story totaling 5-6 hours, side quests that can be done more than once on multiple difficulties, and plenty of cosmetics for you to unlock. Solo play gets a little difficult during the ending of the story, but with friends, it should be an enjoyable time for all!
IGN - Travis Northup - 3 / 10South Park: Snow Day! is a pretty good roguelike with tons of different cards to make each run feel different, complete with that SP humour.
Nintendo Life - Jaimie Ditchfield - 4 / 10Aggravating hack-and-slash combat and surprisingly sparse jokes make South Park: Snow Day! dull, toothless, and a big step in the wrong direction for South Park games.
PSX Brasil - Vanessa Ferreira - Portuguese - 70 / 100South Park: Snow Day! has a lot of potential with some of its roguelike-inspired mechanics but ultimately fails to deliver an engaging experience whether you're playing it solo or in co-op. Combat feels unresponsive, the technical issues are numerous (on Switch at least), and the writing is some of the weakest in the series.
Push Square - Ken Talbot - 6 / 10It doesn't make as much of an impact, but it offers what is needed to entertain.
Shacknews - Sam Chandler - 8 / 10A sporadically fun co-op brawler, South Park: Snow Day is a step back for the franchise. Card collecting and gag-filled combat will keep fans entertained, but there are plenty of better ways to have good times with weapons.
Slant Magazine - Aaron Riccio - 2 / 5Quote not yet available
Spaziogames - Marcello Paolillo - Italian - 7.1 / 10Despite being occasionally funny, the game is never fun.
The Beta Network - Anthony Culinas - 7 / 10South Park: Snow Day! sets aside the RPG elements of previous titles, in order to offer a multiplayer action game with pronounced roguelike mechanics, unfortunately quite repetitive in the long run.
The Nerd Stash - Patrick Armstrong - 8 / 10While it may not be as riveting as its turn-based contemporaries, South Park: Snow Day! showcases an enjoyable 3D action battle system built for 4 players online, combined with the iconic comedic writing of Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
TheSixthAxis - Nick Petrasiti - 6 / 10A third-person roguelike brawler that celebrates immature humor and co-op destruction.
Thumb Culture - 3 / 5After the successes of both Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, South Park: Snow Day! is a big change of pace that left me with mixed feelings. It's an enjoyable game with some nice ideas, but at the same time, you'll be left wondering was this it?
The jokes were funny, and the game does play really well with no glitches. But (and this is what hurts the most), the game overall just isn't long enough. I managed to finish the game in just over two hours. When completed there was no real reason to keep on playing.
Try Hard Guides - Erik Hodges - 7 / 10The game lacks anything for the player to work towards. If players enjoy collecting trophies, they can add some longevity that way.
VideoGamer - Antony Terence - 5 / 10South Park: Snow Day! bravely departs from the series’ previous installments, offering something new and interesting as well as a continuation of a beloved story for fans. While the plot is interesting and full of that usual South Park charm, fans might not find too much of a reason to engage in the game’s intended replayability, with the game clocking in at a short but satisfying 4-5 hours.
Worth Playing - Cody Medellin - 7.5 / 10Snow Day’s moment-to-moment slapstick humor and inventive combat are undermined by unfulfilling progression and an acute lack of content.
South Park: Snow Day! is a good South Park game, but it's just a fine one when viewed without the license. The action is good, as is the inclusion of roguelike elements, but the camera distance can make the gameplay feel cumbersome. The inclusion of multiplayer is great, but the lack of local play is disappointing. While the different card combinations and level elements add some replayability, the presence of only five stages make the game feel short; the disappointment is lessened by the lower-than-expected price tag. It's a fun game, but you'll want to temper your expectations.
