    Fantastic graphics and music with a few gameplay mechanics and great characters. 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

    Incredible game. The graphics, although they were 8-bit, expressed a lot, and the unique battle system was just genius!
    I love the tutorial character a lot, he really explained a lot and wasn’t nightmare fuel at all! ;)
    I don’t like the naming (only 6 characters!) the non mutable music can get annoying at times too. Otherwise, this was really good for an 11 dollar game! Favorite

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a gaming masterpiece. The gameplay is fun and the combat system allows you to spare or fight your enemies, modifing the outcome of your ending. The story is amazing and the characters never feel boring or unlikely. The soundtrack is catchy and moving. What more can I say? A 10/10 game indeed. Expand

    This game is fantastic. Perfect music,a bit of humuor, incredible characters, etc. Maybe the story isnt very elaborated but it is an extremely enjoyable game and very fun. Would love a second version of the game or a extended one,

    I played this because it featured as a top 10 or top 20 on the PS4 Metacritic.com all-time. If I'm ever asked what I think the most over-rated PS4 game ever is, this probably takes it. The trophy achievements were intentionally stupid and the game itself, although seemingly deep with lots of paths is just a slog.

It might appeal to an 8 yr old in some way as kids don't have the same standards, but, seriously, how is this so well regarded it blows my mind.

    And some will find the visuals charming in a throwback way that relives the golden age of the Japanese developed RPG in the 90's or something. To others they're just kind of ... eh. My advice is to avoid this one.

    A charming and adorable story. Gameplay is surprisingly addictive and I love how the game subtly adjusts to your decisions. Soundtrack is killed and old-school graphics carry a lot of charm anyways.

    Undertale is a pile of balls. Especially if you attempt to do a pacifist route. Literally no way to move fast enough or keep up with the barrage of bullets. Music is jumping though.

    A nice story and pure beautiful music with a nice difficulty besides one fight you know the one.

    Sinceramente y pese a que le duela a más de uno... me ha aburrido bastante. Lo he acabado por completar y quitármelo de la cabeza. Valoro la originalidad, los distintos caminos, tal y que cual... pero no lo podían traducir, al menos? Tela.

    Amo esse jogo. Marcou a minha infância.
    Nunca consegui passar da undyne no modo genocida. É um jogo muito desafiador e marcante.
    Até hoje escuto as soundtracks desse jogo, ele deve ter as melhores músicas do que qualquer outro jogo que eu já tenha jogado.

    This game is charm distilled into its purest form. The game is just oozing personality in every single area. From the characters, menus, mechanics and music. It also is way more intelligent than it has any right to be and many of the subversions work exceptionally well. It's a variety show that keeps you hooked with the presentation and personality.

It also is way more intelligent than it has any right to be and many of the subversions work exceptionally well. It's a variety show that keeps you hooked with the presentation and personality. It's really no surprise that so many people love this game. My biggest criticism is how easy the game can be on pacifist runs without self imposed challenges. The healing system is just way too forgiving and the game would have been better with some kind of hard difficulty selection for those of us that wanted a little bit more from the pacifist playthrough Expand

    No complaints here. Love this game. It's funny, the music goes hard af, the characters are lovable, the gameplay is simple but it works. It's a very meta game. It knows what you did and when you did it. And if you decide to be an **** and kill someone it guilt trips you very hard. Also the final boss fight in the genocide route, sheeeeeeeeesh.

    i play video games for 30+ years now but i never played such an overhyped game. easily bottom 20.

    the game is half hearted designed, the art is horrible, the characters are depthless, the story is completely predictable and it is just a pain to play.
    the only pros are the music and the fresh combat design. but that doesn't save the game from being bad.

    don't get the hype...

    Is Undertale for everyone? No, no it's not. Undertale has some of the most memorable, most well written characters and a killer soundtrack. It's an interesting commentary on how games are played, specifically RPGs, where monsters are no more than experience fodder. The gameplay is pretty good, with turn-based commands being warped and twisted in numerous ways. It is definitely worth takingIs Undertale for everyone? No, no it's not.

It is definitely worth taking a look, since it's cheap, and since it's also short, give it a playthrough. However, DO NOT do a genocide run, as it removes everything fun about the game (part of that commentary on how we play games I mentioned earlier). Expand

    It's masterful, and practically unique - which is just about the best way to describe the game as a whole. [Nov 2017, p.88]

    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.
