Undertale...
Where do I even start with this game? I feel like this is the type of game that everyone who loves video games has heard about, but not everyone has truly played. Sure, you might’ve seen the memes, the fan art, the endless discussions about the “pacifist” route vs. the “genocide” route, but it’s the experience of actually playing it that hits you in a way that no amount of spoilers or reviews ever could. Like, yeah, it’s a game, but it’s also way more than that. Undertale is a journey. And a damn good one at that.
Look, I’ve played my fair share of games. I’ve had my emotional moments. The highs, the lows, the victory, the defeat. But Undertale did something that no other game has ever done for me: it made me feel like my actions actually mattered. I’ve never been forced to think so much about my choices in a game. Do I spare this monster? Do I show them kindness, even if it’s just a few words? Or do I give in to my darker impulses and kill them? The fact that the game forces you to live with those choices, that no matter what path you take, the consequences hit home… it’s just something that so many other games miss. Most games don’t ask you to actually feel the impact of your actions. Undertale does. And that’s what makes it stand out.
It’s not trying to WOOOW you with high-end graphics or flashy cutscenes. Hell, the visuals are super basic, the characters are pixelated, but it doesn’t need all that. The real strength of this game lies in how it uses the medium of video games to tell its story. You’re not just a passive observer. You’re the one pulling the strings. The characters aren’t just there to look pretty or be generic NPCs — they have personalities, desires, fears, and they react to you. The whole game feels like it’s speaking directly to you, and that’s a rare thing to find in modern gaming.
The humor, the heartache, the twists — it’s all woven together so perfectly that I was laughing one moment and then tearing up the next. Undertale knows how to balance its tones, something a lot of games can’t pull off. It’s not just about having a good story — it’s about how the story makes you feel, and Undertale nails that in a way that very few games do.
And the best part? You don’t need to play this game with any kind of guide or prior knowledge. Just dive in and let it take you wherever it wants to go. Every playthrough is different, and no matter how you approach it — pacifist, neutral, genocide — there’s something valuable to learn, something profound to experience. It’s not just a game. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve turned off the console.
If you’ve somehow never played this game, do yourself a favor. Play it. Go in blind, with no expectations other than to see what unfolds. I promise you, this is a game that’s going to leave a mark on you. It’s the kind of game that makes you think about what it means to be human, to have choices, to live with the consequences. A true masterpiece in every sense. 10/10, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
