Undertale is overflowing with a lot of great personality. I loved the writing and it was really engaging. Sometimes a loud fanbase can really scare me off, like this series' fanbase had for so long, but I felt I should check it out anyways and had a great time. The gameplay is a bit simple, but the boss fights especially stay challenging, all throughout the game. I appreciated some bosses like Mettaton and Asgore more than others, but they were all fun fights. The Music is of course very popular and for good reason, its catchy and energetic, plus there's some more muted and thoughtful tracks in the soundtrack too. Games that make you replay them multiple times can be tedious, and I especially found the No mercy route tedious. This is played into the storytelling and message of the game, but it still is tedium and wasn't really the most fun experience. The game having randomized events every time you play also makes the game seem like it might be something I come back to in the future. I ended up getting the alternate Wordsearch, and seeing "Gonner Kid" in my playthroughs.
