    Um jogo realmente impressionante para um endie, possui musicar extremamente boas, uma jogabilidade divertida e uma historia muito rica, porem em muitas partes pode ser repetitivo e possui alguns gráficos muito mal feitos, e em certas partes ele não não utiliza direito suas mecânicas.

    Maybe it was everyone pressuring me to play the game, maybe it was the fact the game doesn't want you to kill enemies, or maybe it's the art and or story, but for some reason I didn't like this game, I just didn't have fun for the 4 hours I invested into the game, maybe I'm just not the audience this game is catering towards, but it definitely felt that way.

    The last time I received such pleasure was in 1989, in the USSR, when I asked the committee for the game Mother from Japan, since I knew the language.
    Thank you so much Toby Fox, he brought me back to my childhood.

    If you like innovative RPGs , this game isn't for you
    The story is okay , the gameplay is something fresh but too repetitive and boring with time.
    The retro theme was a great idea , the music is really well made ; but thats pretty much it. nothing more or less that makes from it a mediocre game if you like rpgs.

    Undertale is a satisfying game.
    BUT. Dear gaming journalists. Yes. You are the abnormality here, not the game itself.
    I'll just say that Undertale's creators, or their girlfriends, must give the most amazing head ever. I'll just say that making "satirical" 2D games in 2010s must have become the most profitable business right now. You make a game that costs 1/1000 of the money, 1/100 of    Undertale is a satisfying game.

    You make a game that costs 1/1000 of the money, 1/100 of the effort, and a tenth of the creativity of the top tier games, and you sell it for like a third or half the price of those games.
    I'll just say that, if head-giving becomes big in gaming journalism, in 10 years time we won't even have groundbreaking 3D games anymore. We'll just have "satirical", try-hard-as-hell 8 bit games.

    Personally, I didn't enjoy Undertale. I found its humor not intelligent, not even honest and chill, but only try-hardish as hell. But I understand how some people might enjoy it. It's not a bad game/comedy artwork. My only critique is against the head-giving.    … Expand

    I wouldn't say this game is "#2 Best PS4 Game of 2017" by any means. At least it was topped by Persona 5, a game deserving of a top spot. I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This is a great game, with fun mechanics, music, characters, and more. It can either be a typical RPG, going the neutral route, a nice change of pace, the pacifist route, or absolute hell, the genocide route.

    Undertale hits all the right marks to be fawned over by, say, a MetaFilter regular. It's indie, it's retro, it invites talk of "subverting the conventions" of its medium, and it is precious in its presentation. If you're a heinous bore, procrastinating on your postgraduate thesis, this game is aptly suited to accept the self-satisfied word salad you call an opinion.

If you're a heinous bore, procrastinating on your postgraduate thesis, this game is aptly suited to accept the self-satisfied word salad you call an opinion.

    But it's easy to get distracted by the insufferable audience of a work, and that's not being fair. I actually do see value in subverting conventions: having the consequences of killing a character dog you even when you've reloaded a previous save, and the range of aggressive or pacifist actions you can take, offer some interesting perspective on the kinds of worlds that most games portray (where violent catharsis is the sole solution).

    I don't care much about any nostalgic element to the presentation, but I like that it's too low res for the disgusting anime styles of modern RPGs to be rendered, that there's no awful voice acting.

    The character development presented a satisfying enough blend of motivations and conflicts (though the game does get up its own ass a bit in this regard), and seeing the conflicted motives of the "enemies" play out in real time, within the battle mechanic was kind of neat.

    That mechanic, though...

    There are worthwhile experiments, and there are genuinely enjoyable experiences, and the primary mechanic for winning battles in this game makes it one of the former.    … Expand

    I was very disappointed by the PS4 port. I know it's made in RPG Maker and runs in 20fps. That's fine. But why did they have to compress the audio so it sounds like ****. The music is perhaps the best element in this game and it's ruined by horrible lossy compression (It sounds great on PC). PS4 Port sucks, if you really want it, get it on PC instead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On September 15 2015 the hit indie sensation “Undertale” was released by Toby Fox onto the PC platform “Steam” where it quickly grew in popularity and fandom. However by April 2016 the game seemed to have died out in popularity. Today people will tell you the game is complete garbage. But how good was the game? To answer I played through the game 3 times (one for each route) to see just how good or bad this game really is.

    When I first started the game I thought the lore was interesting: a world where humans and monsters once lived together but where the monsters were banished after a war in which the opposing kings lost their sons. I was intrigued by the art style chosen, an 8-bit sprite overworld, and during the dialogue and battle sequences a much more detailed (albeit still 8-bit) sprite, which looks absolutely gorgeous when animated. The tutorial is a bit bland, but the game kicks into high gear when the first boss fight (against the tutorial character conveniently named Toriel) If you kill her, you can go for one of 3 paths. The genocide route: the hardest path (It took me 1 hr and 23 mins to kill the final boss “Sans”) in which you kill every single monster programmed into the game. In Undertale unlike other games like pokemon, there are a finite number of monsters to kill. There is also a “Neutral” path, where players can kill as they please unlocking a different ending depending on the people they kill. And if you spare Toriel you can try for a pacifist route in which you don’t kill ANYTHING. If you beat the game in this fashion, you unlock a happy ending filled with all the monsters enjoying the sunshine for the first time in hundreds of years.

    Usually I despise monotonous 8-bit video game music, but I loved the Undertale soundtrack, it is mostly a fusion of 8-bit and other real forms of music like bebop, rock, and classical. It compliments the aesthetic perfectly and opts you to capture the moment of the game and just listen for a bit. The only thing I really didn’t like about this game is what remains of the fandom. The fandom of most things is bad enough, but Undertale takes the case with bad fan art and OC’s. If you say ANYTHING bad about the game like “I think the overworld art could have been done a lot better”. They will swarm you like wasps telling you how Undertale is a masterpiece and could do no wrong. Although this is honestly all I could come up with that was negative about this game.
    In all honesty the reason this game is no longer popular is because the fandom killed it. Butt I believe if the fandom wasn’t so bad, it would be held as a classic. I have to give the game 8 stars out of 10. The stunning visuals, and great gameplay, coupled with a stellar soundtrack, and astounding story. However the fandom keeps this game from the 10/10 it truly deserves.    … Expand

That's because it depends on how you play the game, it encourages you to not kill anything, so unassuming old me did exactly what Toriel instructed me to do. I played the game again after experiencing the true lab, only to find out what happens when you actively kill everything. It kept me up at night. you can call me a woos but I wasn't going anywhere near that game, I don't do horror usually, so it was the same kind of shock I would get reading a creepy pasta.

    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.
