Note: This post contains spoilers of a heavily story-driven game. If you have not played this game and want to go into it without any knowledge of the story, it is recommended you stop reading now. Towards the end of last year, I wrote and published a review of Undertale and why it was my favorite game. In that review, I went over a lot of things I respected about the game - how the story was so well intertwined with the gameplay, the overall morality system that the game is themed after, the mini-bullet hell battle system, and just how well it provided somewhat of a commentary of RPG and video game tropes in general.
