(Written between the releases of Chapter 2 and 3)
If Undertale was a life-changing, revelatory game with a story that was deeply profound, a soundtrack that was one of the best and most moving in recent history, and had characters that were both relatable and sympathetic, even at their worst, Deltarune ups that ante by one hundred.
Deltarune is, well and truly, my favorite game of all time - and it's 2/7ths finished. From the first chapter and its relatable teenage characters stumbling through coming of age, to the second chapter with the more deep and interesting thoughts of lore as well as the more fucked up aspects of this universe, Deltarune stands on its own, far and away from Undertale. Even without its predecessor to hold it up, the game continues with each installment to show that Toby Fox is a master of telling a story, crafting rich characters, and weaving it all together with insane bops again and again.

Another beautiful Toby Fox story, but one that is yet to be finished.

Deltarune takes on what Undertale had done previously and does a re-haul of some major elements. I really enjoyed Deltarune's gameplay, the combat feels more engaging and fun, the world is absolutely stunning and, as usual, the soundtrack is perfect.

I cannot rate it higher than 4, however, as the game is not finished. I need to understand it at its' fullest to rate it higher. Will it ever be deserving of a 5 star rating? Very likely.
