    Undertale is an incredibly unique video game experience, there are few if any games like it. Although the art-style is a bit outdated/retro the way it is worked with and used makes it visually appealing anyway.

The story is one of the most emotional and interesting stories to be put into a video game. Your choices actually affect the outcome of the story and exploring these different options are fresh on every new playthrough. The music is astounding and is one of the few video game soundtracks I actually listen to outside of playing the game itself. Toby Fox really has struck gold with this game, and Deltarune looks to be on the same path. Excited to see what comes next.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Undertale is a game made by Toby Fox and is slowly becoming very popular. In this game you will be told the history of humans and monsters,and told how other humans have traveled to the mountain monsters are trapped under but don't return.You are then put into the game after naming your character. As you progress unlike many RPG’s you have the choice to spare or fight the monsters or you can fight some and leave others.Each choice will provide a different ending, and one played twice the same way will give you another ending letting you learn about another character and your characters real name.The genocide run (kill all the monsters ) will show you another character ,the first human to fall. I will say that Toby Fox made the best game to spend hours playing to be entertained.
    Now that you know a little about the game i will tell you that this game has so many amazing qualities such as
    A compelling story
    Amazing soundtrack
    Jokes splashed in with characters
    Puzzles to solve with the characters
    Mystery mixed with how you think one character acts
    And so many others , this game along with entertainment has brought people that love this game together.creating alternate versions of this game(underswap,underfell,candytale,etcetera) these AU’s as they are called create even more fans spreading the game around. Recently Toby Fox has created a second game many suspect to be his own AU
    I will say that Toby Fox made the best game to spend hours playing to be entertained.Now to wrap this review up this game is amazing i've played it enough times I can quote some characters.I recommend this game to everyone and I hope that this review was helpful in choosing whether or not to get this game it's on steam and does not cost much.If after you want to find the other game Toby made it is called Delta Rune this game you must search and download.    … Expand

    I absolutely loved this game and played it a million times. This game is basically an art piece. I highly recommend playing this game. You'd feel so many emotions you can either save everyone or kill everyone. Great soundtrack and humor. 100/10.

    This game is a breath of fresh air for RPGs and gaming in general. It questions morality in an interesting way and has the characters to back up this statement.

    Amazing music, fun gameplay, interesting story.

    The only part where it could fall flat is the artstyle. It isn't too amazing, but doesn't detract from the game experience at all.

    A game that prides itself on its moral affinity, Undertale hilariously falls flat when looked at objectively. For me, the game is just a guilt trip when you play the Genocide Route (kill all things in sight, like Aatrox) and then constantly pats you on the back for the True Pacifist Route (befriending everyone like a certain baseball bat-wielding kid from Earthbound).

    It is a clever and gimmicky anti-genre game. The game is often overrated for its overall quality. However, for younger audiences, the humorous dialogue and characters can be very attractive. The gimmicky mechanics can also be "deep and rewarding" for some players.

    This game is probably as close to perfection as it can get. The story, characters and style of the game are fantastic and it manages to get it's main message across almost perfectly- that there is always a peaceful solution to every problem.

    -Los graficos estan dibujados por un chico de 4 años
    -La historia es simplona, sin una pizca de gracia, carece de todo.
    -Los personajes son nulos, sin conexion con nada, y que en su mayoria tiene apenas unas cuantas lineas de dialogo como mucho, lo cual impide que te llegues a apegar a ninguno de ellos.
    -Los escenarios y las cosas que hay en ellos son totalmente random, da la impresion de estar ahi solo para rellenar minutos.
    -La mecanica de las peleas me parecio divertido y original, algunas rompen la cuarta pared y causan risa.
    -La musica esta buenisima.

    En resumen, es un juego totalmente al azar, con personajes tirados ahi porque si, sin pasado ni futuro, en escenarios al azar con graficos realmente dolorosos y tratando de emocionarte con el recurso de poner una musiquita de piano de fondo. Por otro lado las mecanicas de pelea y la musica son muy buenas.

    This is the world that Undertale entered, and brought into the world a very wholesome    In recent years, there have been a few things which have been widely adored for their wholesomeness. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic set the Internet on fire with its brony fandom, attracted to it by its positive message and general wholesomeness. Steven Universe likewise inspired many people.

    This is the world that Undertale entered, and brought into the world a very wholesome roleplaying game.

    There’s one central conceit, upon all the rest of which the edifice is built – Undertale is a turn-based RPG where no one has to die. Every single enemy in the game – from random encounters to boss monsters – can be spared. You don’t have to kill anyone, and indeed, can befriend almost everyone you meet if you work at it hard enough.

    The game, then, is a very wholesome thing – it’s a game where you have the choice to be a good person or a terrible, murderous one. And if you choose to be a bad person – if you choose to murder the many goofy monsters that inhabit its world… well, it will be merciless in showing you just what an awful person you are, and how hurt everyone is by what you’re doing.

    This is a game which is on its surface very light and cheerful – there’s a large number of goofy characters, and indeed, almost everyone in the game is quite silly when you get down to it. You’ve got Toriel, a goat monster who tells corny jokes. You’ve got Alphys the hapless shut-in otaku scientist who is deeply socially inept but who tries to help you anyway. You’ve got Papyrus the skeleton, who speaks in the titular font and who has no idea how funny he is, and who gives you his phone number to try and help you out, but who mostly instead just makes terrible jokes about the areas you’re in.

    But there’s a disturbing undertone to it all. Toriel doesn’t want you to leave, and apparently has left the rest of the monsters for some reason. Alphys is depressed and not only unable to come to grips with her feelings, but has apparently failed in some disastrous way that has led her to shut herself off from the rest of society – and the further you go, the more you learn about just what happened. And Papyrus… okay, he’s just a goof. But the further you go, the more obvious that there is just something OFF about the world you’re exploring.

    There’s some real darkness lurking under the surface, with some monsters wanting to steal your powerful soul to use it to break the monsters free and overrun the human world, a talking flower who keeps encouraging you to become a murderer, and the whole fact that you *can* kill everyone in the game… if you’re a terrible person. There’s something fundamentally wrong with the world of Undertale, and yet, the people in it manage to be surprisingly wholesome anyway, with everyone having some core of goodness to them, no matter how far lost they might seem at first glance.

    This balance of humor, wholesomeness, and disturbing darkness all works together to create a very compelling package. Combined with a highly novel system where you defend yourself in the turn-based combat by dodging enemy attacks in a sort of shoot-em-up type thing that turns into something bordering on bullet hell by the end of it, and the game feels very fresh, despite being what appears to be on the surface a simple retro 8-bit turn-based RPG.

    This is a game that breaks its own rules, which integrates story and gameplay, which makes the player laugh but also makes the player love the characters and want to protect them and keep them from harm. It’s a game that makes the player CARE.

    That’s why people love it so much. The gameplay, without everything else, would only be okay. But the way that everything in this game is so tightly tied together – and the way that the game deliberately both helps and misguides the player to put them at risk of hurting the goofy inhabitants of the world – makes Undertale an experience that many people won’t want to miss.

    That isn’t to say it is perfect – it has some issues with pacing here and there, especially in the pentultimate portion of the game, where things start to drag with a long series of repetitive puzzles, and in a game as short as this is, the weak portion of the game is all the more prominent.

    But by the end of Undertale, I was filled with warm and fuzzy feelings. I felt good about completing this game – indeed, in my whole time playing video games, I think I’ve only felt this good about a game a handful of times. Portal and Portal 2. The Talos Principle. Chrono Trigger. And now this.

    And in the end, it’s hard to say that a game that made me feel this good about having played it isn’t amazing.

    If all you’re looking for is challenging gameplay, this isn’t the game for you. But if you’re someone who does like being touched by a charming (if offbeat) story and characters, you shouldn’t miss out on this.    … Expand

Don't be put off by the community, because it is, in many ways, no different than the fandom for something like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. UnderTale is nothing short of one of the greatest games ever made. And no, this is not a bandwagon opinion. Few things have been able to touch so many hearts, so many -- for lack of a better word -- souls, as this game has. You, yes you, the person reading this review -- not your neighbor, not your friend -- YOU would be doing yourself a disservice by not first doing a playthrough of this game and then a followup investigation into what certain things really meant (Preferably while listening to the countless hours of fan created and original soundtrack that is quite possibly the best OST in the entire history of games). Every single frame, every little animation, every sound byte and every bit of conversation that happens in this game happens for a reason and putting the pieces of that together is half the fun of the 13 hour long game that I played one time three years ago...

    That I still obsess over and love with all my heart and soul to this very day.

    I would have paid a thousand dollars for the experience I got from this -- and I only played it once. In fifty years, I hope this game is still talked about as a pinnacle of storytelling in games. Thank you for reading.    … Expand

It's not just a cash grab, and the story is worth sixty bucks, but sells for twenty. I have never been so in love with a games characters. I have never loved a games music so much. I have never played a game like this, and I doubt I ever will. I can't recommend a game more.

    Granted, the possibility of riding through the game without killing a single enemy is a truly brilliant idea. I also like the way this game is a, kinda, gigantic middle finger to crapload AAA developpers like EA or Rockstar (Only those two, in fact)

    Unfortunately, that doesn't make Undertale a good game. Being totally honest, you probably won't have much fun with it (as I did) ....

    1-Invisible / Random enenmy encounter.
    I can't believe in 2015 people are still making games with invisible/random enemy encounter. It was a bad idea in 1987, so imagine now... Even Earthbound back in 1994 was clever enough to avoid those **** invisble enemy encounter. So why torture us like this ?

    2-Ugly visuals.
    Don't get me wrong, I usually like retro graphics a lot. But this....this is wrong in every possible way. The sprites are awful, the colors are awful, the environment design, the mapping design, there is about no artistic vision or direction...everything you see in Undertale is just ugly and irritating.

    So in the end, no, I didn't enjoy the game much... I made it about half-way through the game and then stopped, there was no point in going further, really. It's not a zero, but also, I'm sorry about that, it's amazingly far from the 10 in my book.    … Expand

Nor are they very challenging if you're an experienced gamer. But it's not really driven by its gameplay at all, but rather by its story. And the boss battles still provide a good, fun challenge, and one gave me quite the adrenalin rush!

    Its sense of humour also is pretty specific and up to personal preference. While I find it hilarious, there are others out there who might not, and that's fine. Overall, I would strongly recommend Undertale to anyone, gamer or not.    … Expand

What makes it even better is how the combat works. There are a number of different attack patterns that you have to tap in rapid succession for the highest point total and an even more numerous defense pattern of intricate magic monster attacks that you would have to block/maneuver. Another added bonus to the game is the replayability level, with the number of endings and unlockable content, the upside to replaying the game is quite irresistible.

    One of the best from the many things that make the game great is that its creator, Toby Fox (it's mostly made only by him) thought of almost everything, even the littlest details. For example, you can hear a character's theme's leitmotif in the location's theme where they appear, etc etc... (10/10 explanation (/s))
    Another great thing is that even players who have already finished the game many times (*cough* replayed *the* "routes" many times *cough*; like me) can discover/hear new things, new mysteries (solved) about the game.

    Boy, I could write a long and detailed list on the things that make UNDERTALE great.

    Also, this game is the perfect example on how videogames' graphics doesn't matter that much.

    I rate this game and its soundtrack tem out of tem! ((seamless reference))

This game truly is a masterpiece through the first two of the three main endings. The third, however, is much like the secrets you hide in your closet. It’s there but you hope no one goes to see what’s inside. If not for this third main ending the game would truly be perfect. Games are meant to be fun, and designing the route to this last ending to be as unfun as possible to prove a point is not good game design in my most honest opinion. All in all, Undertale is one of my favorite games of all time. Just remember to Save the animals, and leave it at that.

    Have you ever noticed how, in a typical RPG (and, now that I think about it, most games in general) battles don’t really mean anything? How many times have you defeated a miniboss, only to have it stand back up and laugh at you, saying “I have underestimated you! You are a worthy opponent! This is not the end! We shall meet again!” and make a getaway? Think about it. How many times do youHave you ever noticed how, in a typical RPG (and, now that I think about it, most games in general) battles don’t really mean anything? How many times have you defeated a miniboss, only to have it stand back up and laugh at you, saying “I have underestimated you! You are a worthy opponent! This is not the end! We shall meet again!” and make a getaway? Think about it. How many times do you beat up Balrog in Cave Story only to have him fly away without a scratch? How is Black Knight able to keep running away after Shovel Knight stabs the hell out of him? How come you black out if you lose a Pokémon battle, but none of the other trainers do? And how does the big bad villain always seem to get away, even if their HP hits zero, so they can reappear in the sequel?

    Undertale asks the question, “What if defeating an enemy in battle always means that they die?”

    This might seem quite inconsequential in random encounters, but Undertale will also pit you against several main characters. If you defeat a main character in battle, they’re dead for good, and the whole story changes to reflect it. Heavy stuff.

    But thankfully, as the game advertises, you don’t actually have to kill anyone! The game offers a second option to get out of battles: talking the enemy out of fighting. This involves solving a simple puzzle, almost always involving the “Act” menu in battle. The puzzle changes depending on what kind of enemy you’re fighting; sometimes you’ll just need to give them a compliment, other times you’ll need to survive several of their attacks, and so on. Once they’re not emotionally invested in the battle anymore, you can “spare” them, and the battle ends. You won’t get any EXP for it, but you’ll still get gold. It’s a very unique fighting mechanic!

    I admit, after my first playthrough of the game, I was disappointed in the story’s presentation. I thought that both the very beginning and the final area of the game were fantastic, dripping with shocking emotional dilemmas, but the middle 80% of the game’s content seemed like it relied too much on oddball humor and not much else. The game hilariously plays with expectations and has no shortage of genuinely witty satire of its genre, and I found myself amused by nearly all of it, but after the first two hours as I was walking across long linear worlds and listening to dozens of characters try to tell me jokes, I started to wonder where the emotional gravity had gone. “Why is this game making me laugh, when I thought it was supposed to make me cry?” I asked myself. “Where are the feelings? After such an excellent and powerful prologue, why is the game taking so long to show me more?”

    Later that night, as I was lying awake in bed, the answer hit me: the game was quirky and lighthearted because I was sparing everyone’s life. I wasn’t playing as a murderer. If you want this game to have drama, you have to cause it. And I think that’s where all the hype is coming from, all the talk about player choice. This is a game about being a tree-hugging pacifist, or a murderous psychopath who kills anyone who gets in the way, or anything in between. You only need to live with whomever you decide to be, because the game won’t let you ignore what you have done.

    Though it isn’t the most visually impressive game, and the stage design isn’t always the best, Undertale has left me feeling that I have just witnessed a work of art. It tried some new and ambitious things and isn’t ashamed of what it wanted to be. It's about 6 hours long; I’d recommend anyone to play it at least twice, just to be able to say that they've made their own choices and seen what the game has to offer. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would regret the experience.    … Expand

The only reference to the game I had was my ex who was preaching about how cool the game looked. So one Steam sale I purchased it and played through it, and oh my goodness I am glad I did. There is a lot of content for such a short game, and a lot of secrets which are still being found to this day. The story is beautiful and simple. The soundtrack is fitting yet amazing. The idea of a morality choice based on the player’s actions isn’t a new concept. It had me thinking of Silent Hill 2 with its subtle morality choice just to get an ending to the game. However knowing that our choices matter is what makes a game more immersive. However this game has drawn a colorful cult following. Which is why I usually dislike communities, they tend to ruin the experience. But I digress; this game is amazing.
    For $10 you get roughly four hours of gameplay if you don’t know where you’re going. If you do it’s shorter. The game messes with you in a way that it manipulated the save engine so that it will have you thinking something is wrong. The best way I can explain that is this; think about Eternal Darkness with its sanity meter. As it goes down strange things start to happen which confuses and freaks out the player. Toby Fox used this to his advantage. As for gameplay, it looks like a typical RPG however you have the ability to doge enemy attacks like a bullet hell shooter. You can spare or kill your enemies, attack or talk. It’s your choice. However the morality system is over hyped in this game. But it is an Indie game. So any high expectations are ludicrous at best.

    I will not ruin the story, but it is a sad yet cute one. It had my heart feeling a tad bit weak. Then I played LISA which killed my heart. So this is the light story compared to the depressing stories of RPG’s. You’ll meet a cast of loving and goofy characters. Make a ton of friends, and will have to play the game more than once to get certain endings. That’s about the only complaint I have. If you want a complete pacifist run you have to play the game twice. Sure it increases the replay value, only because you force the players to do it again.

    Anyway, if you’re looking for a game that is good for kids, cute, or just overall a time killer. I highly recommend this game. It’s not as well hyped as people make it, but it does deserve some of the praise it receives.

    Happy Gaming!    … Expand

    Undertale doesn't impress you the same way most games do. At a first glance, the graphics and pixelated art style can be off putting for some people, the gameplay is unconventional, and it looks like a retro game that should of been released in the 90's.

However, after completing it, I had quickly become obsessed with the setting, characters, lore, and soundtrack. Undertale quickly became a surprise to me and has then become one of my favourite games. The story is absolutely stunning, presenting players with both hilarious and heartfelt moments with perfect timing. All the characters are lovable, unique, and believable. It's hard to believe I'd have this much fun interacting with 2-D characters, but Undertale proved me wrong. The soundtrack is one of the most iconic I've heard; each track is unique, yet it sticks close to the theme of the game. The setting is full of life, encouraging players to explore the worlds many interesting aspects. Because of its 8-bit style, the graphics are either a hit or miss for people. In my opinion, it fits very well with the game, though it can be unimpressive at times. Because of this, the game may not appeal to everybody. In the end, Undertale is a spectacular indie game that raises the bar in storytelling and proved to me that 8-bit pixelated games are still worth playing today.… Expand

    I love all the characters, and you can really get emotionally attached to them. This is a game where each and every character has their own hopes, dreams, goals, and fears, even the minor characters that you randomly encounter. Everyone felt just felt real. The story is really effective, and it also makes you think. Undertale makes you feel things that popular games today may not pull off very well. This game was emotionally moving in so many ways, and the really amazing music helped so much.

    Now, sadly, there are flaws with this game, just like any other game. But for this case, I feel like the only flaw is the bland graphics. For me, however, the amazing story, characters, lore, and music more than make up for this.    … Expand

    Honestly, one of the worst RPGs of all time. It copies from better games (Earthbound, Shin Megami Tensei, NieR, Final Fantasy VI), the characters are one-note idiots. The story is nothing spectacular, as is the music. There are huge difficulty spikes. It isn't even good-looking pixel-art and it throws morals down your throat. Do not waste your money on this

The characters feel real and the world that they live in draws you in and makes you feel instantly at home. If you are looking for a game that will touch your heart and probably make you cry this is it.

    The strengths of this game include the writing, characters, story, and all the quirky easter eggs that the player can discover through searching. No two playthroughs are exactly alike and your choices really matter. I won't give away too much, but be careful what you say and do because your actions have consequences. ;)

    This game prides itself on breaking the violent mold of traditional RPGs where the main character leaves a trail of monster corpses in their wake. It is about mercy, love, forgiveness and bravery. The gameplay is pretty fun and the soundtrack is amazing. This is a purchase you will not regret. I give it my own personal seal of profound worth.    … Expand

    Gra jest średnio-słaba, muzyka jest największym atutem tej gry, lecz wiele kawałków brzmi zbyt znajomo (nie powiem, że to źle się wzorować dobrymi utworami, ale jak dla mnie zbyt mocno są wzorowane). Historia jest ... średnia (jeśli ktoś ma zamiar się kłócić, to dodam, że przeszedłem neuteralnie + true pacifist i szkoda mi czasu na genocide), bohaterowie również średni, mają trochę fajnych tekstów, ale ogólnie to więcej zażenowania niż śmiechu. Brak osiągnięć to też minus. Grafika jest w porządku, wzorowana na earthboundzie.

Undertale is an RPG/Bullet Hell hybrid, but make no mistake, it's all about the story. At the heart of Undertale is a choice system revolving around killing or sparing the enemies you fight. I really like the idea behind this system, but unfortunately it doesn't ever culminate in a moment where I really don't know which option to choose (Unlike its more adult counterpart, LISA.) But past this, it has some of the best characters in a game to date, and the story tackles themes you'd never expect from this kind of game. The gameplay as well is wonderful, it changes up throughout the game, and each time it provides a unique way to explore the game's battle system. The soundtrack is really wonderful as well, and it's interesting to see motifs tie back into each other throughout the game. It's very difficult to describe a lot of the specifics of this game without spoiling them, but take my word when I say it's worth every cent of it's $9.99 price tag, and then some.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. tl;dr - I find it hard to pick a number rating, being of the "Yahtzee" Croshaw school of thinking that complex opinions cannot be condensed into a numerical value, though. I would recommend playing it (And I hoped you have before reading this, given I marked it with a spoiler warning, as it's best experienced blind) but temper your expectations, whatever the fanboys say.

    This review is also spoiler rich, so if you haven't played it yet for yourself, go in as blind as possible to it and go play it. OR keep going, I'm not a cop.

    ==================
    It's not that I don't like Undertale, I like it a fair bit, but it's not as good as it's cracked up to be. The Characters are okay, I suppose, but I never really felt like I was growing attached to them, which really makes the genocide route lack impact. Undyne is a self-righteous fishwoman. Papyrus is that kind of tryhard funny that I can just imagine children getting a kick out of. Flowey and Chara are just nightmare fuel.

    Where Undertale shines the most in my opinion is the music and the story. Learning more about the story and background only left me wanting to know more. Why did Chara come to the underground? Why did he/she/it/godless hellspawn hate Humans so much?

    One of my biggest complaints is how badly designed the final boss fight against Sans is in the Genocide run. The Dark Souls games (1 definitely, 2 sometimes, never 3) are examples of how you do difficulty correctly, if you get walloped by a giant goat demon brandishing two Machete's, you expect that to sting. Sans, on the other hand, is what's known as **** difficulty. Toby did a lot of the enemy move sets flawlessly in UT, never too hard, but it's still a test of how well you can handle it. Sans is 90% attacks that either cover the entire bullet board in poison BS, or attacks that require finesse more than what the controls (which do lean towards the sluggish) will allow.

    At least his battle song is kickass, I guess? I can appreciate a good guitar riff.

    While I expect things like Asriel's pacifist fight to be hard, his doesn't even scratch San's fight. I would EXPECT Asriel to be a pain in my ass, given that it's stated that if a Monster obtained a human soul, the result would be unimaginably powerful, and considering he's absorbed six of the damn things, I think you see my point.

    Meanwhile, he's put to shame by a skeleton with NO (and I mean NO) explanation as to why he's so powerful except for "He just is" (I get that he used to work with Gaster, or some such, that still doesn't explain it away) A fine example of why this boss fight is summarily badly designed; If you somehow manage to suffer through his other attacks, he gets to the point where you can spare him. If you continue attacking after this point, the game will actually spawn bones that can hit your heart icon when it's your turn (i.e if you're trying to heal) and do damage. It starts off slow at first, with a bone that flies back and forth next to the window where your heart appears when picking a target to attack, but will eventually start on the bottom most buttons (FIGHT, ACT, USE, MERCY)    … Expand

    Every year or two, there's an indie game that the Internet grows attached to. In 2015, Undertale was that game. From a rich story to its phenomenal soundtrack (which I still love 2 years later), this is one of my favorite games of all time. And whether you choose to take the path of a true pacifist or the "genocide" path, this game will rarely fail to entertain you in one way or another.
    Now, while this is without a doubt one of my favorite games right now, the only problems I had were that some of the characters either didn't have enough information or it was too vague (W. D. Gaster gets a pass since this was done on purpose.), particularly Chara. The vast majority of the community has been lead to believe that Chara is some sort of homicidal maniac - now don't get me wrong, I see where you're coming from with that belief - and in fact, the small (in comparison) number of people who don't believe this and in fact were against the so-called genocide path are seemingly silenced out; and we too have our fair share of evidence to lead us to our conclusion!
    The other problem is in the true pacifist ending. When you "save" Asriel, you're not given the choice or some sort of way to convince him into returning to his family. Now, had we been given that power, the true pacifist ending would be a true ending to me - Asriel getting to see his family again, and to know he'd live on the surface in the end...
    Well, other than those 2 points, I don't have much to say about it critically speaking. Great game, great soundtrack, almost worthy of calling it a 10/10. Good work, Toby Fox.    … 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.
