Undertale Reviews
Undertale is a special game, the likes of which come along only once in a great while. It's a look into a parallel universe—one where videogames have realized a bit more of their potential than, say, the AAA industry has in our world. It's a game that can make you laugh while teary-eyed, where both competing emotions are natural and genuine. It's fun, it's sweet; it's an experience that will stay with you long after you've put the game away.
If you haven't played Undertale, now is the time to pick up this modern classic.
Undertale is an incredibly beautiful, original and dragging game and it is even more so when we consider that it was created entirely by a single developer. The magic that can be touched in this experience where you don't have to do harm to advance is of those that leave you something even once you get to the credits, a pleasant and painful moment that will easily spur you to take a second run.

Animated by a unique sensitivity that is difficult to match, Undertale on PlayStation 4 is the same, identical miracle of writing and gameplay that has enchanted PC players. A work as brilliant as it is original, where the definitions of "right" and "wrong" acquire new meanings, and in which the impact of our decisions takes on a finally tangible value.

Undertale does flawlessly what few video games achieve: seamlessly amalgamate solid and fun game mechanics, a deep story both on a large scale and in each micro-environment, and a consistent and self-congruent universe. None of these three elements would make sense on their own, and together they make one of the most extraordinary video games we've seen in recent years.

Undertale is a brilliant and smartly designed game that understands well what makes a good RPG work; so much so that it can upend expectations and deliver something that's almost a satire of the genre. It's been a long time since we've played a game that manages to surprise so often and in so many unique ways, and even if it doesn't look like much, Undertale has way more going for it under the surface. Excellently written characters, a genre-bending battle system and a solid soundtrack make this one an easy recommendation, especially to RPG lovers. Do yourself a favour and give this one a download.
Undertale is landmark RPG for those who appreciate something a little different – a game that wrong foots you and delights with the way it mixes up the tried and tested formula which so many adventure games stick so tightly to. A rare pleasure.
Undertale is a fresh and original indie adventure: great story, great characters and a wonderful soundtrack.

Undertale exceeds expectations, when it isn't busy subverting them.
Undertale is a superb indie role-player that proves once again that it's not graphics that make a game entertaining but gameplay and great ideas.
A hilarious JRPG romp with far more than laughs on its side.
An unforgettable tale about the value of friendship, forgiveness and the consequences of our actions, narrated with a brilliant sense of humor. It is not the best game ever, but you will not find another with more SOUL.

Undertale provides an experience unlike anything you'll find in the AAA space. It's a game you shouldn't miss out on, and one that will stay with you long after you've completed it.
If you missed the opportunity to play Undertale on PC and you're a fan of retro games that learn from past mistakes of their genre and talk to the player through their mechanics, this game is undoubtedly a modern classic that is essential to you.

Those who do not know him, to satisfy his thirst for curiosity will go looking for some videos and will probably archive the whole thing with the most superficial of comments, asserting that Undertale is basically just yet another title in pixel art that is worth less than everything else just because its aesthetic is secretly considered a deterrent. Undertale, in fact, is none of that. Nor is it the object of praise for certain hipsters who reward pacifist messages and invitations to civil dialogue always and in any case. It would be a stupid exploitation that does not do justice to the articulated work behind this game, which has the merit of demonstrating to an entire genre (and also to the sector) that you do not need dizziness investments to offer users something different than usual. But perhaps Toby Fox, in his heart, knows that indies are metaphorical monsters that humanity has skilfully confined to the ground. Just like in Undertale.

If you haven’t played Undertale, do it. It’s a masterpiece.
A quirky friendship adventure that dares to be different and succeeds with aplomb. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll teach two bros that it's OK to express their true feelings for one another.
Nearly two years have passed since Undertale originally released, and it still manages to be an incredibly fresh experience. Every battle is a unique puzzle that the player has to solve, and it's impossible to count how many times I laughed at the bad jokes of Sans. I'll never see all that the game has to offer, but that's okay. I'd rather make friends than destroy them.
This game is totally deserving of the hype its received since it first launched on PC two years ago. Although its not the prettiest, it is one of the most original.
Two years old it may be, but Undertale arrives on PS4 feeling as timeless and inventive as ever.
