With movie deals and Netflix series seeming like pipe dreams, the group splits off into two separate groups, with Stan, Timmy, Kenny, and several other kids choosing to launch their own franchise, instead. Taking place immediately after the Season 21 episode “Franchise Prequel,” South Park: The Fractured But Whole finds Eric Cartman and company struggling to get their new superhero franchise “Coon and Friends” off the ground. The game’s follow-up, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, doesn’t have the luxury of middling expectations, but it still put a smile on my face from beginning to end.
