10 Worst Licensed Video Games Of The Generation (So Far)

After The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, South Park proved it could deliver genuinely great RPGs - sharp, hilarious, and surprisingly deep. They weren’t just great licensed games, they were great games, full stop. So the idea of a next-gen follow-up? Exciting. What we got instead was Snow Day, a baffling step backwards in every possible way.

Gone is the 2D animated style that perfectly matched the show. In its place? Basic 3D models that look like Funko Pop prototypes dipped in Vaseline. The shift to a 3D co-op brawler might’ve worked in theory, but the execution is a mess. Combat is floaty and repetitive, and the humour, usually South Park’s saving grace, is sadly not hitting the right notes.

There’s a paper-thin narrative tying things together, but it never comes close to the storytelling quality of its predecessors. And while co-op could’ve added some chaotic fun, it’s undermined by balance issues, clunky mechanics, and a general sense that the whole thing needed another year (or three) in the oven.

In the end, Snow Day feels like a spin-off no one really asked for - one that loses what made the previous games special and replaces it with budget chaos. From an IP that nailed it twice in a row, this was a snowball to the face.
