    I am tying to determine the profile of the people who praise this game and regards it at some sort of masterpiece. How old are you ? What is it that you do in life ? Have you actually every played a good game in your life ? Do you value your time ?

    What's wrong with you ?

    One of the most overrated games of its time. I didn't understand why it was loved then and I don't understand why it's loved now. Even if I have nothing else to do in life, it's not a game I'll spend time with. It might make a good animated movie, but it's not worth playing as a game.

    Now this game is pretty epic, and I like it a lot. my only complaint is that I cannot kill Simon Cowell in the genocide route. Other than that it was a decent game.

    i play video games for 30+ years now but i never played such an overhyped game. easily bottom 20.

    the game is half hearted designed, the art is horrible, the characters are depthless, the story is completely predictable and it is just a pain to play.
    the only pros are the music and the fresh combat design. but that doesn't save the game from being bad.

    don't get the hype...

    Shallow, unfun, boring, lifeless. Unlike the Walking Dead, this game is boring and there is no choice. The characters suck in Undertale while Lee, Kenny and Clementine actually have character. Crap game.

    I just found the gameplay frustrating and the characters constantly obnoxious; I guess it's not for me. Nice music though.

    Im sorry, but I dont get it. I was so excited to play through this game, but was left widely disappointed. Going through this was a slog. Perhaps I didnt get the humor. Perhaps I didnt get the nuance of the story. Overall, this game didnt grab me.

    I just don't get it at all. The gameplay is dull, the graphics are obviously terrible although this doesn't bother me. I sat on buying this for a long time as people just seen to Wang on about it so much. The humour is tame and very gentle and the plot just seems excessively whimsical.

    Undertale just isn't a game that I like. It's a shame, since I really wanted to like it. I'm glad the rest of the internet loves it. Sadly, as much as I try, I can't change my opinion. :(

    me gusta el undertale PERO creo que esta muy sobrevalorado el juego si es bueno pero a veces la gente solo se fijan en sans la historia,la musica y los dialogos son buenos pero la jugabilidad es algo meh el sistema como RPG es algo malo es simple pero no como pokemon ya que simple pero funcional pero el de undertale es simple y nada mas es solo o perdonar,atacar,curarse y listo.

    Graphical design - inconsistent.
    Game design - too much of a stupid gotcha moments when game plays you instead you play this game.
    Writing is mediocre at best.
    Overhyped game with cringy memes.

    Undertale was a game I played in 2020, and even though I already knew everything, this game had a lot of fun for me, and made me pass several challenges, and also, it was the best soundtrack of a game I have ever heard, with several songs that match perfectly with the moments, buy and have fun.

    I created an account here just to tell you how stupid and boring this game is. I absolutely don't understand the hype surrounding this piece of crap. Annoying, stupid and a waste of money. Sometimes a little funny, that's why I'll be fair and give it a 1 instead of a 0.

    Undertale is the most overrated game ever. I know, this game have original ideas and interesting plot twist. But the level of quality is poor. Maybe I played many good Indie games, but this game is not so good. And here's why:
    Firstly, the plot of the game is not deep. It's just a rollercoaster of twists and fourth wall breaks. Characters in this game are plain and idiotic.

    Firstly, the plot of the game is not deep. It's just a rollercoaster of twists and fourth wall breaks. Characters in this game are plain and idiotic. And humor is stupid. Very stupid. If you came here for plot, you're in wrong way. It's just an absurd comedy with simple kindergarten moral "Don't Kill".
    Second, this game is too childilsh. Sometimes Undertale tries to become "serious" or "scary". This game is too weird for me. Most of time is oversweet melodrama, but if you play at Genocide route, this game become into edgy horror.
    Also this game gives to player illusion of non-linearity. All variability is just choosing to play as angelic pretty child or juvenile maniac. There are no challenging moral dilemmas, especially after you learned about the conditions for reaching the endings. This game is very linear.
    And yeah, graphics. Undertale's pixel-art is terrible even for Indie games. There are so many SNES games with beautiful pixel-art like Chrono Trigger or Tales of Phantasia. Just look at Hyper Light Drifter. This game is also created in Game Maker Studio and it have breathtaking visual art. And where's optimization? Why this game is run only on 4:3?
    Well, the game's music is the only thing, that makes this game good. I liked Asgore's theme much.
    This review if just my opinion. If you like the game, then I will not blame you. It's just an overhyped game with terrible fanbase of 14 year old schoolgirls.    … Expand

    This game used to be a favorite of mine, then I stopped playing to jump onto some other games, including Toby Fox's own Deltarune. After finishing chapter one of Deltarune, I thought to jump back on to my old favorite for a while [Undertale]. Regret soon followed.

After finishing chapter one of Deltarune, I thought to jump back on to my old favorite for a while [Undertale]. Regret soon followed. Sans is very annoying and not creative in his puns, and I love dad joke puns like the ones Sans is known for and reading them they didn't make me laugh or cringe, they made me angry because they are constant and doesn't provide any detail. The story is boring, and the three routs [Neutral, Peaceful, Genocide] are creative sure but like, who cares? This game lost its appeal on me after playing actually good games with story that dragged me in. Undertale is simply a garbage game, with a weak story, with at best semi-likable characters, and in total just okay music and bad graphics. I love pixel graphics, don't get me wrong. I love pixelation over 3 dimensional figures. [Insert Japanese porn joke here]. But the issue is that the graphics are dull, overly smooth in most areas, too bright and colorful, it hurts to look at this game sometimes. Undynes house is one of those too colorful ones, so is the lab [TOO MUCH YELLOW/LIGHT BLUE MIX.] Sometimes [for example sans secret room] it is just not that great or rewarding. Photoshop Flowey [or Omega Flowey] doesn't fit in, it sure is fun to battle him [more on the battles later] but his graphics are so badly put together [like real photoshops [this was a joke, laugh]] that it took away from the game. It was fine on its own but the graphics Flowey has here are so bad that it was not worth it anymore. The characters were tiring to deal with. Toriel is annoying and over caring [which i know is her character but like, I don't feel bad for killing her anymore]. Sans is annoying with his puns, Papyrus is also very annoying to read because of the **** way he talks, Undyne is meh, Alphys makes my head hurt when I talk to her, Mettaton [In all forms including Ex, Neo, Overworld] just no. Flowey is an awful villain, should have killed us one shot if they were trying. Asgore literally doesn't live long enough to like or hate him,

    So I should talk about the one good thing, the thing that makes it a 4.
    The battle system. That saves this game from a 0. I would just not be writing this review on this garbage game and hope it just ceases to exist soon except the battle system is genius. If you read/heard reviews of Undertale you will know this is the games strong point that most people love. It is easy yet difficult, creative, and just overall makes this game almost mediocre on its own. If you do plan on playing Undertale and you haven't yet, ignore the story and jump right into battle, it really is what makes the game actually somewhat worth while.    … Expand

    With multiple endings based on how you choose to play out your run, set pieces that can play out very differently based on your actions and so many incredible moments that we’d love to share but daren’t do so for risk of spoiling anything, Undertale is easily one of the indie standouts of last year.

    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.
