One of the greatest games Ive ever played, Toby fox truly is the face of succesful indie projects, Undertale has amazing gameplay, good humour, beautiful art, unbelieavably good music and a very heart-melting story. Its gameplay revolves around you going forward and fighting battles, but this format doesnt get boring as each enemy has their own attack, their own track heck some even have gimmicks that you activate by acting, and some bosses even have their own ways of you fighting the battle like Papyrus/Sans blue heart - Undyne Green heart and Muffet - Purple heart. the humour is purely subjective but I still think it holds up great, the art is just absolutely marvelous at times especially in Waterfall and Hotland. The songs are all composed by Toby who is an amazing artist, each of the tracks perfectly resembles the energy and the style of the character youre fighting, wether its lazy sans's tune that appears when you first meet the guy, or the energetic-optimistic tune of Papyrus's battle theme. The story is, its alot and too much to wrap around in one review, I highly recommend that you discover it yourself by playing the game fisrt. And another thing, your choices matter in this game; the first route you probably take is the neutral route, you kill some monsters, you spare some monsters, but in the end you kill Omega Flowey (and sans tells the impact of some of your minor choices) The Pacifist route I.E the longest route, in this one you prioritize acting, sparing and dialogue, you spend time with the characters and discover their other side beyond the battlefield, in the end you save the underworld, you defeat Asriel, but you dont kill him. Everyone else can freely roam the earth, while he is left in the beginning of the game, which you can go back to after defeating him, and listen to what he has to say. The Pacifist route is the best ending for everyone in the game, but a true reset is the only way to procceed further, however Flowey now Asriel warns you as a true reset would wipe the perfect ending and what would follow wouldnt be the same. After that you can finally do the True Genocide Route, which revolves around you murdering every npc by purposefully encountering a large amount in the same area until the area runs out of monsters. You kill every boss with no sparing and have to defeat 2 major bosses who are the hardest ones in the entire game, Undyne the Undying and Sans, these two will take hours out of your life to beat and after you finally do the last thing youre left with is, to kill or spare flowey, but you dont have a choice, at that point you are no longer in charge as the murderous spirit of Chara took over your body and ends the game, by killing the game world. Truly these 3 routes in that order are a very unique experience and I highly recommend to anyone reading this to go and play them. This game really deserves the praise it gets and its sequel/spin-off, Deltarune, gets only better.
