I've watched a Let's Play of this recently so I thought it was appropriate to look back at this game.

I love it and it's absolutely worth the hype. Surprisingly for the same reason I love film. You see, it's easy for video games to be de-individualised behind companies that make it; it's rare for singular voices to be heard. In film, I love seeing what a director puts out: the theme of their stories, the style, the passion behind what the produce. Here, we have the rare case of one individual making history with a touchingly personal, extremely entertaining, and monumentally impressive feat.

Toby Fox gives us a fun romp of an adventure in every sense. Its humor is its instantaneous charm: the plays with the RPG's of the past, the outstanding music, and the story really subverse your expectations of the game that truly make you the player feel like you're on a crazy quest.

Furthermore, that fourth-wall breaks aren't used lazily, those are the aspects that make you believe you're playing something special. I remember I did something I regretted, loaded out before it saved, and then got CALLED OUT by the game as soon as I felt like I got off scott-free.

Its remarkable! I love this game beyond words and I always find myself coming back too it, especially the music.
