Undertale
Description
In UNDERTALE you play as a human child who falls underground into the world of monsters. Now you must find your way out... or stay trapped forever.
Welcome to UNDERTALE, an RPG game where you don't have to kill anyone. Each enemy can be "defeated" nonviolently. Dance with a slime. Pet a dog. Whisper your favorite secret to a knight.
Or, ignore this choice and rain destruction upon your foes.
But your journey will take determination. Each adversary has unique bullet patterns that you must dodge as well (don't worry, it's not that hard).

But your journey will take determination. Each adversary has unique bullet patterns that you must dodge as well (don't worry, it's not that hard).
- Killing is unnecessary: negotiate out of danger using the unique battle system.
- Time your attacks for extra damage, then dodge enemy attacks in a style reminiscent of top-down shooters.
- Soulful, character-rich story with an emphasis on humor.
- Created mostly by one person.
- Become friends with all of the bosses!
- At least 5 dogs.

10/10
It's hard to express just how much I adore Undertale without spoiling anything significant, but that's what I love about it. It tells its story in such a dynamic way, and with such a great understanding of the RPG player's mindset, that it couldn't have been told in any other way. It's a masterfully crafted experience that I won't forget any time soon.

Don`t waste my time.
Well, I bought this game on the `better than the second coming` hype. I expected the low graphic style, even the twee music. I even stuck with the girly-looking avatar you have to use. What I didn`t expected was the pointless, samey walking about patronising writing and battles. It wasn`t that the battles were hard as such; they were just... let me think... A waste of my time. They made little or no sense- yea, I should talk to me, or something. I spared monster, I won! I cheered monster- I won! Waste of time. In fact the whole thing is a waste of time. The best way I can describe this is as a game for 10 year old girls and girls in general. It`s twee, it`s cute, it`s NICE. For some reason, people think it`s clever with the writing. Really? I`ve seen better in 10 year old games like Baldur`s gate and more maturity. Perhaps it`s just me because I was bored to tears afyer 20 minutes of this `twee` nonsense. I`d give this to my daughter if she wasn`t already too old for it! 2 out of 5 and that`s only because it`s me being `nice`. Don`t waste my time.

Not nearly as clever as it thinks it is.
If you want to play this game because you think it's another Mother/Earthbound title, just go play one of those. From this perspective, it's a very poor man's Earthbound. If you're in it for the more edgy aspects, just go play OFF! instead. From the perspective of all the "special" things this game does, it's simply a poor man's OFF!. You may have heard that this game does a lot of special things and that you shouldn't spoil yourself before playing it. To me, if you know that one of the game's keywords is genocide, and you know that no-one has to die, then the game pretty much spoils itself. I have no idea why people think it's a special thing full of surprises. You already know what you're getting into. It has humor, but it often uses its humor to create emotional distance--the precise opposite of the warm humor of Earthbound. It has choices, but they are generally not-choices. You know what you want to do, but it's hidden behind some goofy mechanic you have to figure out. To put it another way, if you do a bad thing in the game, it's not because you chose to do bad, but because you couldn't figure out what the creator wanted you to do. What hidden button the creator wanted you to press. I was suggested this game by a friend, immediately knew I didn't want to play it. I already knew everything about it (again, I can't get over how unique and surprising everyone thinks it is). But another friend bought it for me because I love Earthbound. I gave it a fair shot for his sake, but only to be nice. Eventually it became unbearable, so I stopped. I love Earthbound. I love Persona. I love stories and story-driven games more than I can convey. But I fear that this game is going to pull the industry in the wrong direction: banal tales hidden underneath silly mechanics easily perceived as clever, Tumblr humor, and gameplay that ranges from tearfully boring to obnoxiously frustrating. I hope the big dysfunctional family that is our gaming community moves on from it soon.
