Sep 16, 2015Clever, fun, and full of heart. The closest comparison I can think of in tone are the Mother series, and the games of Yoshirou Kimura. The type of game that uses weirdness, humour and innocence to teach you something about how you approach games and maybe a little bit about yourself.

Sep 26, 2015Never do I feel that there is a wasted moment in Undertale. Not in the writing, characters, etc.
Never.
This game is so undeniably pure, that you just have to stop and admire it. -
Sep 26, 2015This game serves as 3 things: A great source of nostalgia for anyone who's ever played a Mother game, a middle finger to all of the AAA titles who spent more time on open world than creativity, and one of the greatest rpgs ever made and a clear case for game of the year.

Oct 14, 2015And this is why we play video games. This right here is what its all about. I can't imagine the sort of people ho give this a negative score. I could understand mixed maybe or even just a little on the positive side, but this game is far above what we've seen in a long time.

Oct 6, 2015A fantastic deconstruction of traditional JRPG tropes. I absolutely adore this game. Great twists and turns, fun non-standard "combat" mechanics, and some very meaningful choices and easter eggs.

Sep 26, 2015theres just something about this game, its enchanting in a quirky and unassuming sort of way--yes it looks like potato graphics but it doesnt matter, the person who wrote this was obviously a deep and interesting sort--just like the game. somehow, it manages to suck you in and get stuck in your head.. the music is incredibly good and the whole experience is just weirdly compelling.

Sep 26, 2015Fun game, I cannot find a single thing to complain about. the way the battles play it is always interesting and fresh, little secrets hidden everywhere and choices changing things make replays feel more fresh.

Oct 15, 2015Amazing character development with a great OST to back it. Combat is decent. There are unique dialogue options for every enemy in the game. The endings left me with goosebumps and a feeling of sadness since I won't be able to experience this for the first time ever again.

Oct 8, 2015Essentially perfect.
Clever gameplay, amazing writing, and masterfully scored, Undertale is a dark horse candidate for best game of 2015.
I could say more, but it'd spoil the game, and why would I do that to you? At only 10 dollars, it's worth skipping a fast food lunch. -
Oct 6, 2015Game was great. Not by any means a 10/10 game, but still so childishly charming. Somehow I remember a lot of the games characters really well. Maybe they were that memorable.

Sep 17, 2015A brilliant and engaging tale that keeps surprising! The enemies are fun and varied and the game even breaks the 4th wall. Really unique and punny! The combat is simplistic but fun but might put some people off

Oct 11, 2015I have never had an emotional response to a video game. However this game really **** me up. Especially the end. Not to mention the well crafted characters and genius humour. This game deserves all the credit it gets.

Oct 6, 2015As a lifelong gamer, I have experienced gaming highs and lows. I have played games and made me jump out of my chair and exclaim "AWESOME" and games that made me weep like a child. Games have become an important part of who I am and I can say without reservation that Undertale is a game like no other.

Jan 16, 2017Undertale is absolutely unique. It's a RPG masterpiece full of weird characters and a moving message.
-
Mar 4, 2016With 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.

Feb 23, 2016Through 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.
