May Assassination #8
Consider liking my review on Steam - it means a lot to me!
Undertale has to be one of the most charming and well-written games I've played in the last few years, but that completely misses the mark in the final 15 minutes.
It was one of the most jarring experiences I've ever had, going from a really interesting and mature take on the usual JRPG formula and videogame logic and morals, all the while keeping the gameplay forever interesting with new takes and variations on the same base system. While the visuals do not earn it a lot of bonus points, they are at least readable and contribute to a vibe that is highly enhanced not only by the writing, but also by the stellar soundtrack. But then, the game moves to a random fever dream without anything to say or show for it. If the first 5 and a half hours weren't so strong, I would probably not recommend the game from the last 15 minutes alone.
Still, it's a solid game that deserves the praise it gets, although even almost-perfect gems have it's moments of oddities that bring it down a notch.
interesting take, is that the flowey boss fight that made you dislike the end so much?
Correct. It felt really off the mark, both narratively and mechanically. It wasn’t that hard but definitely wasn’t enjoyable. I think it would have ended in such a high note otherwise
Yeah that part really does suck. I watched undertale before playing it myself and when it quits the game I was like are you kidding me right now?
Hahaha here’s a link to my browser history at that point
