I am a person who respects and loves video games (I respect animation too but that's beside the point) so when I saw unfinished, buggy and just plain soulless cash-ins be shoved onto Steam's store (through seeing Jim Sterling's Jimquisition series) like the blatantly lazy works of Digital Homicide and the insulting uses of Unity assets that haven't even been modified, it made me feel rather put off by what Steam had become and I was almost considering uninstalling it and not to mention the obnoxious and unlikable PC elitists did nothing to help.
I had a few games installed but other than that, I was considering giving up on Steam...until I heard about Undertale. I had heard about it through Good Game and Jim Sterling and I eventually decided to buy a Steam card so I could buy the game after trying out the demo and once I started playing, I got hooked. Outside of MOTHER 3, I've never felt so in love with a game that has so much thought and consideration put in. The characters are all so interesting and have strong personalities upon meeting them and there's a strong sense of community within the game which I think is very appealing. The humor is spot-on and feels genuine with a lot of wit, surprisingly funny puns and a hilarious ton of well written dialogue. I think the music is incredible and fits appropriately with each scene occurring. Also, most of the songs I think are quite catchy.
The morality system made for this game I think is surprisingly well done. There are three ways to go out the game, Pacifist where you don't kill anything, Neutral where the go somewhere in the middle and No Mercy where you must kill everything in the game. There are many secrets hidden in the game and I think it would make sense to go and explore as much as you can. You might not find everything the first time but I think it's worth taking your time talking and exploring.
Honestly, I can say with certainty that this is probably one of my favorite games of 2015. I am so thankful to Toby Fox for making the game and I hope to see a lot more from him in the future. Thank you Toby for making such an incredible experience. You have my respect.
This Game Redeemed Steam For Me
