Undertale

It's very...odd.

This review has no spoilers because I like you people. First of all, if you are thinking of getting Undertale or are playing it, do not watch any videos, read any wikis or visit any fansites until you have all three (alright, maybe two) main endings complete, or you will get spoiled, and story is the main reason you're here. Undertale is a showcasing of the problem with YouTube gamers promoting indie games: they will spoil the game. This game is thoroughly unique. This is not one you get for gameplay, as it's honestly not the best in this game. But it is unforgettable, from the music, to the characters, to the story, to the boss fights. All of the fights that could be considered 'final boss' are great, among the likes of Giygas and Lavos' battles. I am dead serious. This game isn't hard with the exception of two fights, and it's also quite short, with each playthrough being 4-6 hours, and once you have all, or at least two, of the main endings done, you'll probably have 20 or so hours under your belt. Yes, this game has multiple endings! If this is your first time playing, do not let anybody suggest a 'route' for you to take: choose for yourself. People don't seem to realise that telling you how to play the game to get the best ending is in itself a spoiler. The game gives you tips on how to get a good ending itself, so take those. And that leads me to another unique part about this game. This game basically has no fourth wall. You, the real life person playing, are a character in the story, separate from the protagonist you control. This game subverts many game tropes, from EXP to character naming to saving the game to tutorials, and these twists range from hilarious to terrifying. This game will make you laugh or scare you shitless, no matter what ending you get. Finally, please ignore the fanbase. It's a single player game, it's not hard. I hate it too.
