    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.

    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    … Full Review »

    I have been playing games for the past 26 years now, played hundreds and hundreds of titles in every category.

    This game is trying to be some sort of retro RPG hybrid.. with very simple game mechanics,
    However back in the day most RPG's were far more complex than this.
    This game was clearly meant for the ''Fan service''.
    I lost my interest after 3 hours, ''that was about half way though the game'' yes it's actually this short.

    This is what shocked me most ''#1 Best PS4 Game of 2017''
    What a joke...so it actually surpassed Persona 5, Yakuza 0, Nier, Nioh etc.??

    It kind of reminds me of the overhyped ''Gone Home' another title' that got more praise than it deserved.    … Full Review »
