In the ten years since the release of South Park: The Stick of Truth, South Park games, RPGs, the South Park series itself, and the world at large have all changed significantly. As a result, South Park: The Stick of Truth stands as something of a time capsule, capturing the moment in which the South Park IP was finally done justice in a video game adaptation. Other South Park games before it were numerous, but they all varied wildly in quality and struggled to capture exactly what it is that has helped the series endure for more than 25 years. Ironically, the IP now finds itself in a similar spot following Stick of Truth's release.
