This game blew me away! I played it in November 2022 (well after the initial hype). I had heard good things about it but was not really expecting something other than a laid-back funny game. It is a laid-back funny game, but it is so much more than that. The story is easily the best story I have ever seen and that is because of the way it uses the player's choices as part of its method. I have always liked when games give you choices, however, there are few games that I have found that really push what this can mean. It has so many great and memorable characters. The fourth wall breaks are really clever and feel like how they should be. I have always had a soft spot for fourth-wall breaks, but recently it has felt overused in pop culture. This game pushes the fourth wall really far all while feeling fresh and original. I played this game three times. Once with a neutral run, once with a pacifist run, and finally a true pacifist run. When I got to the end of the neutral run I thought "This is how you do a final boss!" and when I did the true pacifist run I thought "This is an epic finale!" I also did not realize that the true pacifist run would lead to a whole new area to explore. That alone felt like a reward for doing the right thing. I feel as though nothing I say will do this game justice because it is spectacular
