    i remember how i was so late playing this game. and i regret that. this game doesnt need to be "cinematic" to tell its story. Oh and of course the music is top-tier

    The story is huge. Music and atmosphere are fantastic. The characters are very well rendered. No need to extend the word.

    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.

    Heartwarming or Heartbreaking, that's your choice but either way the music is to die for. The indie to define it's generation

    Undertale is a lesson for all games devoid of soul. Some games are interactive traps, with appealing visuals and game mechanics, but with no real connection to the player. Games like Undertale make you feel like you exist, and invite you to think of others as a complex living being like you, rather than just numbers.

    Pros: - Every character (enemies included) feels unique and

Games like Undertale make you feel like you exist, and invite you to think of others as a complex living being like you, rather than just numbers.

    Pros:
    - Every character (enemies included) feels unique and important. No generic goblins or shopkeepers you usually get from normal RPGs.
    - The narrative is impressive. There are so many conflicts surrounding everything it feels touchable.
    - The music is amazing. It really adds to all situations.
    - All good games are all about the player. Undertale is a good game.

    Cons:
    - Gameplay-wise, you feel weightless in some battles, specially some boss battles. Some are just about re-choosing the same option, reading through the enemy's dialog and enduring the battle.
    - Some visuals aren't pleasant (it's more understandable considering this is a work from a single person, but it's still a fact).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every character is special in undertake there not gimmicky they all can bounce off each other whether it's sans making jokes at papyrus expense whether it's papyrus wanting to be in the royal guard and undyne wanting to keep him out of harms way and when the characters die it feels real very early have I come close to crying in a video game but I'm not going to act like this game is better then it is the graphics are good at best it could probably be run on a toaster with enough optimization and tweaking if they wanted to but this game is amazing that soundtrack though it complls you into the current situation after you always feel terrible after you kill someone in undertale even if there not a main character in my gaming experience never have I ever felt genuinely like trash when I kill a little frog In a video game you can tell each character even side characters has a genuine life and freinds and a personality there is never a flat. Character that doesent have some sortve belief you can explain most of the characters personalitys in a couple of seconds because of how simple the characters are even more advanced characters can be explained easily in a couple of seconds besides chara which is bassicly the player your the one who is making these decisions your the one controlling the character making these decisions it's almost as if every life you take your character is doing against there will and they provide a reason for you respawning known as resetting little things like that gives games like undertale more life and its hardware compatibility is insane that's what I meant when I said you could run undertale on a toaster But one problem with the game is the run time the run time of this game is almost tragic with being able to complete all routes of the game in less then 15 hours while taking my time and I'd say 2 hours of that was from fighting sans and that leads to another pro the boss fights are acctually hard and aren't easy you feel accomplished once you beat the genocide route but somehow seemlessly they make it more rewarding to complete the pacifist route even though that's the easiest version of the game there's no hard or easy mode it's just an adventure and I know everyone is so tired of the "it's an immersive adventure" type of phrase but it's the truth the graphics aren't bad acctually because of the art style it meshes well with the world and makes it infinitely more enjoyable for me At the end of the day this game will not knock anyone's socks off but it's so great to just relax of course you will never be able to relax when your in a boss fight but just sit down with your keyboard and mouse and enjoy the ride this game set up so many things to worry about I just gave up on keeping track I just decided you know what Toby fox? Take me where you want to go because attempting to keep track of all the potential interactions and scenarios is a idiotic move your meant to just sit there and enjoy tha dang ride because there are so many different things I have not touched the surface of the surface of details in this game in the average review but I hope I painted a picture for how amazing a creation Toby fox made Expand

    I played Undertale for the first time on its release date back in 2015. It was the first game I ever played through the whole night, without sleeping until I completed my first playthrough. Even after waking up the next day, there were so many other things to explore in the game, including the different endings, and I couldn't wait to jump back into it.

    The game is filled with so much

    The game is filled with so much charm & character and takes such a unique approach to the RPG format, which made me fall in love with it. I don't think I've found a single game which has made me feel how Undertale made me feel when I finished playing through it; it really is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of game.

    Początkowo nie lubiłem gier z pixelartem, Były dla mnie po prostu brzydkie. Jednak po ukończeniu Undertale (do czego zachęcili mnie moi znajomi) udowodnino mi, że grafika w grach tak naprawdę się nie liczy. Skończyłem Undertale dwoma zakończeniami, pacyfistycznymi i neutralnymi, jeszcze nie ukończyłęm genocide, ale jestem w toku.

    Undertale is a neat parody of RPGs. A great game, that you should play if you are a RPG fan, even with the terrible fanbase.
    The game has great characters, a unique setting, and a presentation that remembers me NES games.
    A good one, give it a try.

    Don't mean if the monsters are monsters they're bads guys. That's the message that left me this game. There are various ways to complete this indie: kill everyone (Genocide), kill and spare some (neutral) spare all the monster in the underground (pacifist).

    A wonderful indie title, with the only drawback the art style which could be better. But it serves it's purpose of offering you a charming adventure. With nice bits of humor.
    The story is a bit convoluted to account for the multiple playthroughs, but for me the word that describes this game is charming and as such the pacifist route is the one I naturally took. I think it is the most

    While I think this may very well be one of the most overrated games of all time, it is a good game. It is a breath of fresh air in a world where developers seem more focused on making the best graphics instead of a good story or good gameplay.

    Undertale: Amazing atmosphere, the characters who makes themselfs important for you, epic musics which makes your mood exactly like atmosphere, revolutionary martial mechanics.

Undertale is more than a typical JRPG game. Even though, its not only an "JRPG". It has "Puzzle, Adventure, Rpg, JRPG, Action" and more genres on it. So; from ARK players to GTA V players, every body can find something good on it. It has like 7-8-9 gameplay hours minimum. Think now; you are playing a in 10 hour finishing game, and there is more than "6" boss fights. Game never repeats it self, so boss fights nevers bores you because of that. What more is you can thing 10 hours is a short gameplay time for an RPG game, but epic story makes you full. And there is like 7, or 8 different endings and that makes the gameplay time about 70 hours. Undertale will make you cry, Undertale will make you laugh. I maded a stupid thing, and played this game in this summer. I was kinda bored and got awayed from the games, and camed back like one year ago. I was dont knowing why I passed away for a little, but Undertale reminded me why: Because i was bored of seeing the same things again and again. With undertale, i reminded how its feels like to play an "Art", like Half-life. It has a lowerprice on steam. So you should get it now and play. You will not lose a thing.

    So; is there nothing bad about this game? Yes there is:

    • Like i said, it has so many different genres on it, but if you dont like even one of them, you can get bored because every single genre has a big part in the game. This is the disadvantage of having this much genre in one game. I had that problem in puzzles, i dont like and cant do puzzles even in games so that little puzzles tooked a little bit more time.

    • Game sometimes gets pyscho. Exactly "Flowey". When you saw flowey boss fight(good ending, after last boss fight-boss fight) after that lovely world; trust me, you can scare a little bit.

    Thats my thoughts about "Undertale". I hope it could help you..

    Undertale is absolutely unique. It's a RPG masterpiece full of weird characters and a moving message.

    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.
