    It was a whispered reminder that great games can do more than impress with sheer complexity and breadth, they can also draw us in close to them as to engage with our humanity.

    It’s rare for a game to so ruthlessly and completely nail the altered reality games place us in the way Undertale does. Whether it’s the nameless NPCs you always meet in RPGs or the hundreds of mooks you mow down with gunfire in games like Uncharted, Undertale brilliantly demystifies these conventions and questions why games are still codified this way. But even outside of its ambitious themes, it proves to be a compact, perfectly paced RPG experience with hilarious, tense writing and endearing characters. That it succeeds so completely in its thematic approach on top of all that is what makes Undertale a truly essential experience.

    Through a combination of often relaxed but sometimes tense gameplay, a dreamy atmosphere, and genuine characters that feel like they’re actually alive and all living together in this isolated society of longing, Undertale transcends its medium and becomes a genuinely moving experience I would recommend to anyone who is open to a sometimes sorrowful, sometimes hilarious, always bizarre and engaging emotional journey.

    Undertale fills me with determination. The biggest surprise of 2015, a unique masterpiece. [Dec 2015]

    Undertale is a fresh and original indie adventure: great story, great characters and a wonderful soundtrack.

    Toby Fox's work is not just an anecdote: it is perfectly well-thought out. It hides something that connects directly or indirectly to anyone who has spent too much time with a gamepad in his hands.

    An interesting concept, a weak execution.

    Clever, fun, and full of heart. The closest comparison I can think of in tone are the Mother series, and the games of Yoshirou Kimura. TheClever, fun, and full of heart.

    The only flaw I can point out is your slow movement speed, which makes backtracking nearly physically painful.

    This game... Well, it simply does everything right.
    The characters, the dialogue, the humor, the combat, simply everything is executed perfectly.
    Except for, well, the walking speed, but everything else is just so good that it makes it completely unimportant. (you unlock shortcuts later on, so it eases the backtracking a bit).
    The puzzles are also "eh.", but they're not the focus of the game.
    You have to play this game. Either the demo or the full product; if you dislike it, you can get a refund, but it's certainly a must-try.    … Expand

    I bought this game after hearing some of the murmurs of its success back in 2015, and I took a chance and picked it up. Boy, did I have absolutely no idea what I was getting into. This is a 2D “bullet-hell” RPG created by one talented individual, Toby Fox. First off, the soundtrack is sheer perfection in this game. The seamless blend of multiple themes into single songs, the sweeping synths and hilarious oddities, Toby Fox has absolutely nailed the world-building music that still tears across the internet to this day. These characters immediately grab your attention never let go. The story is well-crafted, introspective, and one of the most memorable I have ever played. The combat is fun and challenging, and while it’s not my favorite, it gets the job done.

    What I can’t talk about here is what you need to experience for yourself, which is basically everything else. A must-play gem.
