    First i'm checking game points. And i see 92 i said "what the ?!#% Undertale? What is this game? Graphics looks like poop. Oh i think its 2d 8-bit? Ok i want this game" and i buy it and play. My humans name is "Sahis" (hmm that means Person in Turkish language.) And Goat Toriel says dont fight. And ı dont fight. AND OH MY GOD!!! This game is the best! A game indispensable criterions for me is :

    Good Story
    Playability
    Server Quality
    Multi-Player
    Tactical Thing
    Good Boss Fights

    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 game is really about the characters and story with the game as a perfectly crafted car to take you on this adventure.

The game play is really engrossing (as well as legitimately very difficult at times) but what really sold me on the game was the way that it treats choice.

No battle I found was unbeatable though, especially if you have the right equipment. I felt like NPC's had a mind of their own, with the flawless and humorous way this story was told. 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. The number of times I would be tripping over what had happened or what I was to do was countless, and that is what makes this game such a masterpiece a true 10/10… 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

    10/10 Best Game I've Ever Played! It's just so fun and humorous and the combat is so good! If you still didn't check out Undertale you need to!

    A very interesting game with great direction and art sense. I had no idea why everyone was so enthralled with this game until I played it from start to finish in one sitting. Its very unique and full of heart. I loved every minute of this game and I felt like I got a lot out of it. It was just so cute and clever and different.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the best games ever. NO game has been this perfect. But with a unique fighting system, some really cool characters, a true pacifist option (or one where you look for battles to kill EVERYONE, and the hardest boss who, if you face, will give you "a bad time") and a story I can't explain because it'll ruin the game with spoilers that you DON'T want to know before you play it, this is full stop perfect(hint: don't just press the spare button to use mercy, that doesn't often work). Don't listen to the haters, they mostly haven't played it. This is the best game ever made.… Expand

    I am so glad I went into this game without knowing anything about it. Because I had no idea I would have enjoyed this game as much as I did, and still do to this day. I can't think of hardly anything wrong with it. The story is great, the characters are charming and well written, the pixel arts really nice, the music is amazing, and the gameplay is really fun.

    Toby Fox has developed an instant classic that not only has fantastic characters, but also an interesting story and multiple different ways to play that'll definitely keep players coming back. It'll make you both laugh and cry and the best possible ways. Not to mention it has some of the best gaming music of the generation.

    To be honest, there are no words high enough to praise Undertale.

    It breakes the trope of many RPGs that violence is the only way out. It's not. Violence is the worst possible way to interact with your surroundings, you think you are gaining LOVE that way, but you are not gaining Love. Making friends is far more important and if you do not know that, just buy this game and learn your lesson.

The gameplay is also amazing, the fights blend in perfectly with the story, can be funny, or can reveal lore about characters, and they're fun as hell. Characters: this is the best part of the game, every character is can be either charming, funny, or down to earth, there some characters that are all 3 of these (sans, asriel), this game has some of the best if not the best characters in gaming history. Story: the main goal of the game is simple: get out of the wacky world known as the underground. But the story gets way more complicated as you go, you learn about the past of the monsters, their intentions, and you learn about tragedies. Something else is that there is 3 main paths, the neutral, pacifist, and genocide. If you finish all 3 paths, you will know just about everything in the game. I was going to give it an 8 because of the community, but I refrained because that's not the developer's fault.

    Aging: Generally, this game aged well, but the thing is it's not replayable when you finish every path, but I understand this game was a 1-time experience. Finally, the sequel, eh, not as good, but ok.    … Expand

    Undertale is a very special game, in so many ways.

    When my little brother told me about this game, I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about the premise at first. A gamer's first instinct is to defeat anybody threatening them in a game, after all. (Like real life, lol.) But I watched a Let's Play on YouTube and eventually played it, and I gotta say: This game holds the honor of being    Undertale is a very special game, in so many ways.

    When my little brother told me about this game, I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about the premise at first. A gamer's first instinct is to defeat anybody threatening them in a game, after all. (Like real life, lol.)

    But I watched a Let's Play on YouTube and eventually played it, and I gotta say:
    This game holds the honor of being the first game to ever make me cry.
    Not to mention that it's a fantastic game that is worthy of the all the accolades it gets by fans, critics and other game companies.
    "Why?" You may ask.
    Well, let's break down every aspect of the game, shall we?

    Plot And Storyline
    This game has a deceptively simple plot and two basic paths that connect it.
    You play a child who has fallen into a deep underground cave that is full of monsters, from talking dogs and goatlike monsters to skeletons, spiders, ghosts and other quirky denizens of the caverns.
    Do you decide to befriend them, and help them out on the Pacifist run? Or do you slaughter all of them in the Genocide route, and lay waste to all your supposed adversaries?
    The choice is yours, but the consequences could be dire.
    This premise is actually clever, with both heartwarming and heartbreaking plot points and a wonderful, zany cast of characters to get to know.

    Gameplay
    Though a simple turn-based RPG, it has a surprisingly deep gameplay style.
    Sure, you can kill everything standing in your way, but you have the choice to go through the game without killing anyone, instead befriending the lovable characters.

    Graphics
    This pixelart game may be done in styles similar to both 8-bit and 16-bit games, but both the environment and characters inhabiting it are delightfully created and exude their varied personalities.

    Sound Design
    Toby Fox happened to create a game with a wonderful soundtrack. From the epic tracks like "Spear Of Justice", "ASGORE" and this games rendition of Toby Fox's "Megalovania", to the humorous "Bonetrousle" and to the heartbreaking song "Undertale", this game has a soundtrack that is hard to top.

    In Short
    This game has made me laugh, get shocked, and even holds the honor of being the first game to ever make me cry.
    It has wonderful, quirky and lovable characters like Sans and Papyrus, Asgore and Toriel and many others that have me praise this game and Toby Fox himself.

    My Rating
    Now like most game reviewers, I have a rating system from 1 to 10.
    However, that similarity is where it ends.
    Unlike other game reviewers, I have a rating system that's backwards.
    That means that 1 is actually the best, while 10 is really the worst.
    It's kinda like racing: You want to finish first, but don't want to finish last.

    Final Thoughts
    This game is a wonderful, beautiful game that has many secrets and surprises in store, and is jam-packed with emotion.
    From the cast of characters to the music and everything else, this game is the definition of empathy and storytelling for PC, PS4, XBONE and Switch.
    Rating: 1/10 (1 being the best.)    … 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.
