Undertale Review (❤Chopin•ᴥ•Hauer❤)
Undertale is not just a game. It’s a mirror held up to the player’s soul.
From the outside, it looks simple—pixel art, quirky characters, a small RPG made by one person. But what hides beneath is one of the most emotionally intelligent, narratively groundbreaking, and philosophically rich games ever created.
Gameplay That Reflects Your Morality
Undertale asks a question most games never dare to:
“What if you didn’t have to kill?”
Every enemy can be spared. Every boss can be reasoned with.
The way you choose to treat others changes the world itself—and how the game treats you.
This isn't just a pacifist option tacked on. The entire design, mechanics, music, and dialogue respond to your morality.
Your actions matter—deeply, permanently, even disturbingly.
Characters Who Feel Like Friends
The characters in Undertale aren’t just NPCs.
They are beautifully written, unforgettable personalities that you actually miss when the game ends.
Papyrus made me laugh out loud.
Sans made me think deeply about consequence and time.
Toriel made me feel like I was truly being cared for.
And Asriel... made me cry.
Every character has their own voice, hopes, fears, and pain.
By the end, they don’t just feel like people I met—they feel like friends I saved.
The Layered Story That Knows You’re Playing
This game breaks the fourth wall in ways that are not gimmicks—they are deeply earned.
It knows you.
It remembers you.
Even if you reset.
And in Genocide Route?
It judges you.
Undertale doesn’t just react to your actions—it makes you think about why you made them.
No game has ever made me feel so responsible for what I chose to do inside a fictional world.
The Music? Unforgettable.
Toby Fox’s soundtrack is legendary.
You’ll hear them in your head long after the game is over.
Undertale Is About YOU
Not just Frisk.
Not just Chara.
You. The player.
Who are you when no one’s watching?
Who do you become when your actions have real consequence?
Can you show mercy, even when it’s not rewarded?
Undertale doesn’t answer those questions.
It lets you answer them yourself.
Final Verdict:
Undertale is a once-in-a-generation experience.
A game that looks into your heart and gently asks,
“What kind of person do you want to be?”
10/10. A masterpiece.
Not just a game—but a story that stays with you long after the screen goes black.
