I was a doubter. I thought, "ha... this game is not going to be anywhere near as good as everyone says it is. It's just some overhyped tripe, that's what it is." And then I played it. Still doubting it, though, after beating the tutorial that I actually didn't play anymore for about a week and a half. Then I went back to it... played more... and more... and more. Soon enough, all my doubts washed away.

Undertale is a work of art. It is not the overhyped tripe that I thought it was. It's... it's amazing. People keep comparing it to Earthbound and... I can totally see why! This game is an experience! Just as Earthbound was. There's nothing about this game that isn't just brimming with personality. It's unique, got a fantastic story, and actually makes you CARE about the characters you've been meeting throughout the entire thing to the point that seeing them get hurt actually hurts you emotionally. I don't want Toriel, Sans, Papyrus, Alphys, Undyne, or Asgore to get hurt. They feel like your actual friends, so you do not want to see them suffer.

Not many games nowadays can get you so invested in the lives of the characters that they lay out for you. Not many games can actually make you care about them like this. Not many games make you feel like a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for making horrible decisions like Undertale does.

Undertale is an experience that everyone should play at least once. I cannot recommend this game enough. Please, if you have the money and you don't know what to spend it on, spend it on this. Toby Fox has truly made a game that we won't soon forget.
