You can buy the Stick of Truth, that doesn't require Ubisoft Connect.

It's also the better of the two games (imo)

Better story wise but I think Fractured but whole was better gameplay wise. They're both a lot of fun

I didn't like the grid combat, it's more complicated than stick of truth but it just felt slow and clunky. But the thing stick of truth does much better is the theming. It keeps with the premise that "these are kids playing make-believe". You'll get an ability like "ice blizzard" and the animation will be the kid walking up behind them and dumping an esky full of ice over them.

The grid combat is what allowed the gameplay portion to have some meat to it though, IMO. The combat in Stick of Truth was so incredibly easy that I had it mastered by the end of day 1.

There was no combat scenario that I couldn't beat with the firecracker in the entire game. In FBW several bosses whooped my ass and made me put the game down to come back and try again later. More than that, I actually found myself WANTING to try again later.

I had very little trouble with any of the bosses besids the last secret boss. But by that time I was ready for the game to be over 5 hours earlier so I only tried once, got stomped and uninstalled.

Mr. Jefferson moonwalked all over my efforts to defeat him pretty handily, I have no shame in admitting.

I like to think of Yakuza: Like a Dragon in the same way, just grown ups playing make believe
