With masterful story writing, epic music, awesome gameplay and enjoyable puzzles, you organically move through the game until you reach the finale you earned. Undertale looks cheap and simple at a cursory glance but in the end turns out to be one of the most detailed games I've played in my entire life.

So overall Undertale is by far my GOTY of 2015 thus far and is without a doubt one of my favorite RPG's ever.

It asks you to be kind, even though it knows how hard that can be. It is aware that some wicked beings will never be receptive of your good intentions, and cautions you appropriately. It proposes that being good — while difficult — feels good.

‎Undertale remains an innovative and refreshing work, with a great depth hidden in its false simplicity that communicates very effectively through its gameplay. With his way of destroying the fourth wall, Undertale makes us the protagonist in a way that makes our hair stand up and makes our decisions truly have definitive consequences.‎

I found myself smiling through a majority of my time with this game, unable to put it down until I'd beaten it. For only $10 USD (or your regional equivalent) on Steam, it's hard not to recommend at least giving it a try. For me, it might just be my game of the year.

There's so much to love about it: the plot is involving and the characters a pleasure to get to know. It's at turns funny, haunting and gripping. You'll be sucked into its world and finish it wanting more – and you'll be rewarded for returning to the world.

If you think games are almost the same now, and the pleasure you get from games disappears day by day, you should know that your recipe is Undertale.

Two years old it may be, but Undertale arrives on PS4 feeling as timeless and inventive as ever.

This game is totally deserving of the hype its received since it first launched on PC two years ago. Although its not the prettiest, it is one of the most original.

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.

A quirky friendship adventure that dares to be different and succeeds with aplomb. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll teach two bros that it's OK to express their true feelings for one another.

Those who do not know him, to satisfy his thirst for curiosity will go looking for some videos and will probably archive the whole thing with the most superficial of comments, asserting that Undertale is basically just yet another title in pixel art that is worth less than everything else just because its aesthetic is secretly considered a deterrent. Undertale, in fact, is none of that. Nor is it the object of praise for certain hipsters who reward pacifist messages and invitations to civil dialogue always and in any case. It would be a stupid exploitation that does not do justice to the articulated work behind this game, which has the merit of demonstrating to an entire genre (and also to the sector) that you do not need dizziness investments to offer users something different than usual. But perhaps Toby Fox, in his heart, knows that indies are metaphorical monsters that humanity has skilfully confined to the ground. Just like in Undertale.

If you missed the opportunity to play Undertale on PC and you're a fan of retro games that learn from past mistakes of their genre and talk to the player through their mechanics, this game is undoubtedly a modern classic that is essential to you.

Undertale provides an experience unlike anything you'll find in the AAA space. It's a game you shouldn't miss out on, and one that will stay with you long after you've completed it.

An unforgettable tale about the value of friendship, forgiveness and the consequences of our actions, narrated with a brilliant sense of humor. It is not the best game ever, but you will not find another with more SOUL.

A hilarious JRPG romp with far more than laughs on its side.
