    Though the game does have its shortfalls, like a lackluster tutorial zone and some infuriating boss mechanics, Undertale is undoubtedly a real stroke of genius. The game plays around with conventions and tropes normally associated with RPGs and subverts them in clever ways, all while telling a deeply personal story that everyone can relate to at some point in their lives. Undertale is a game that makes the player feel and think. It’s a game that fills the player with determination, and is most certainly one that you should play.

    Undertale is a clever and charming masterpiece, through and through...No game is perfect, but a very rare handful are special, exceptional examples of the best there is to offer, and Undertale stands proudly beside them.

    Nearly two years have passed since Undertale originally released, and it still manages to be an incredibly fresh experience. Every battle is a unique puzzle that the player has to solve, and it’s impossible to count how many times I laughed at the bad jokes of Sans. I’ll never see all that the game has to offer, but that’s okay. I’d rather make friends than destroy them.

    What I'd forgotten since first experiencing the game back in 2015 was that Undertale is more than just internet jokes, amazing music, and crazy boss battles — it's a heartwarming, beautiful, and tearful romp. I said at the beginning there was nothing like Undertale at the time, and there still is nothing else like it. It's hard to explain what makes Undertale so special without spoiling a lot of it, but all you need to know is that this is a modern classic at its most accessible, and it's worthy of your time, whether you're new to the game or returning for another adventure. This review should fill you with determination to play Undertale.

    A work so genial and original, where the definitions of "right" and "wrong" acquire new meanings, and in which the impact of our decisions takes on a tangible value.

    You wouldn't know it with a passing glance, but it's one of the most progressive and innovative RPGs to come in a long time, breaking down tradition for the sake of invention, with great success.

    Despite the fact that Undertale didn't tick all my boxes, it was still an enjoyable game. Its visuals and music brought to mind some of my most cherished memories from my formative years, and are top-notch even for games that try to evoke that retro vibe. Its narrative is tongue-in-cheek and consistantly sends surprises the player's way. The game excels at asking players to enjoy it in ways that are incongruous with the traditional way RPGs are designed. Unfortunately, those looking for a more traditional experience may feel short-changed here. The lion's share of the game's character, lore, and emotional impact is experienced by challenging yourself to play the entire game in a completely different fashion.

It's pretty much a masterclass in storytelling; drip feeding bits here and there until it all comes together in the conclusion.

    I liked the simplicity of the combat system, and how interactions within them ultimately affected the possible outcomes. Also appreciated the generally low difficulty, which made it very easy to focus on the story and characters.

    Don't go into this expecting anything seriously taxing, and keep in mind that some elements (like the early puzzles) are deliberately skewed for comedic value. If it's not your type of humour you'll probably find the game a little bland.    … Expand

What more needs to be said? Really, this is one of the most creative games I've ever played and while yes, it's clear it was made by one guy when looking at the graphics, levels, etc., there is also a lot of heart and effort put into things such as the story, characters, music, and gameplay elements. Honestly, go into this game knowing nothing, and you will be greatly rewarded. I do recommend not killing anyone on your first play through though ;)… Expand

    Undertale is a Fantastic Indie game and it's worth it on PS4 and Vita as much as it was on the PC! there's not many differences from the Original version aside from Illustration Boarders and Japanese Language option, but if you never played Undertale, i Highly Recommend it!

    This is one of many amazing Indie Experiences you will ever try it out and i'm glad Playstation fans will be able to try it out    … Expand

    The visuals, story,    What can I say about Undertale that already hasn't been said... so I'll just mention difference of the PS4 version...

    The visuals, story, gameplay and music are all on par with the PC version but the implemented trophies are way too easy - You don't even have to finish the game to get the Platinum!
    You just need enough money for the 15 Dognation Trophies (you can quit the game after getting the last Dognation trophy, keeping your money on your saved game) and to REACH the final area - you don't even have to enter it.
    They should have locked at least one trophy against each completion imo but trophy hunters will at least be happy.    … Expand

I had lots of fun in the first part of the story, while at some point I was just hoping to see the end.
    The menu is terrible, the RPGs elements aren't deep and the combat is ripetitive, so when the story went on I got bored. The last boss battle is terrible and basically a waste of time, which killed my already poor enthusiasm.    … Expand
