South Park: Stick of Truth has both an hilarious story line and amazing gameplay. The gameplay is much like Paper Mario in that you have in interchangeable companions which have their own specific skills both on the field and in battle, the battle elements have interactive attacks and defending and the game continues to be consistently challenging.

Occasionally I did find the battles a bit too overwhelming, I struggle to see how a casual gamer might cope with the challenges, unless they chose an easier setting of course, sometimes I'd struggle to break through an enemy's armour dealing minimal damage and having to rely on elemental attacks. And this might just be a personal gripe, but in order to unlock all the of achievements, you would have to play the game through multiple times.

Overall, I found the game to be a pleasant and fun experience and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of RPGs!

This is the second Elder Scrolls game I've played, the first being Oblivion. Now, maybe I didn't give Oblivion much of a chance, but for me, Skyrim blew it out of the water.

I played this game for hours on end not wanting to stop because there's so much to do and I never really got lost or bored because of the clear quest markers, that's a bloody must for me, I get lost FAR too easily! The levelling up is... interesting. I liked that you improve abilities by using the corresponding skills but I barely managed to finish one or two skill trees despite playing so much. I kind of ended up exploiting it though (... I think...), spamming crafting iron daggers to level up my skills was unusual but it worked despite me being a mage.

Still, despite this it's one of my favourite games. Maybe one day I'll get around to the DLC!
