Hey people!
I played Undertale about a year after release, but accidentally did not do a pacifist run, resulting in me not being able to get the “true” ending without fully playing the game from start again. I left it there, pretty happy with my experience.
A month ago I decided to give it another go, mainly because of an interest in the earthbound series and also because I might try out Deltarune and wanted to be up to speed.
This game is just so… nice. The subjects, the insecurities that are mentioned, the hopefulness, the acceptance of everyone that just permeates throughout the whole work, it’s astounding. The characters are all so imperfect and charming in their own way. I’ve been going through a tough period myself and a lot of the messages about acceptance of who you are and connection with people you love just really hit home.
I know this game is already highly regarded and I’m saying nothing new here, but I just wanted to share what it did for me and that it really, really holds up.
It’s a game that kinda sprung up out of nowhere and exploded in popularity, but the popularity was well deserved it is a pretty good game. The younger fanbase being a bunch of over excited and obsessed turned off a lot of people, but I feel like it’s a little silly to hate something because kids were acting like children.
