It's pretty good, but I don't really have much to say about it. Good core gameplay, characters (Elvis the GOAT), and story, with some pretty good missions early on. However, I think as the game went on, more and more bad missions started appearing, which really made this go from a higher score to a lower one for me. A lot of missions had obscure objectives (especially in regards to where these objectives are located), and I imagine this is only worse on higher difficulties. I only played on the pussyboy Agent difficulty because I thought that was the equivalent of normal, but nope, it's probably closest to an easy mode. I imagine that because of the higher amount of objectives in each mission on increased difficulties, my problem with obscure directions would only worsen, but I can't say for sure without actually playing through it again. I think the level design started out really strong then took a nosedive towards the end, and the last few levels in particular I was just kind of bored with and rushing through to get it over with. A shame, I really loved the earlier levels and it's unfortunate that same quality wasn't consistent. I also would've liked an option to change the graphics back to the N64 original, similar to the Master Chief Collection. As neat as the updated models and textures are, I would've preferred having a more classic experience, especially with the awkward rigging of high quality models to N64-era skeletons and animations. Overall a decent game with high replay value, and I think with time (and further playthroughs), my score might go higher.

Loads of fun with a unique sense of style brimming with charm and personality down to its quirky 90s skater vibe and funky music and visuals. It does however feel really clunky trying to make perfect landings and the overall loop of roaming around and spray painting while evading police with the limited variety of stages and gameplay ideas does bring it down. Still a promising formula worth expanding on

Undertale is a great time, cute, witty, charming, and a killer OST. Its hard to not love this little gem. That being said its not flawless. Outside of the battle UI the game is incredibly ugly. Character sprites are just bleh. The story is far from impressive and is very much held up by its likeable characters.
