(A major legal-rights shuffling didn't help Stick of Truth's pre-release worries, either.) Licensed games have improved a lot in recent years, but their quality is never guaranteed, and the South Park license had never been used to solid effect until that 2014 RPG came along. Three-and-a-half years have passed, and yet I still can't get over how good a video game South Park: The Stick of Truth turned out to be. Platform: Windows PC (reviewed), Xbox One, PlayStation 4
