    Undertale. I tried playing it a few weeks ago, but the controls are clunky and the story isn’t really entertaining. It was just boring and annoying.

      I think the game’s good side doesn’t really show until you beat it. And with the context that moral choice game systems were a trend and up to this point extremely shallow (infamous series, army of two etc).

      I couldn’t get into it either though to be honest, but I enjoyed reading about the lore and the games it inspired.

      I couldn’t stand it either, and I grew up with NES/SNES JRPGs and thought it would be right up my alley but for whatever reason the humor didn’t reach me in the slightest and I couldn’t be bothered to finish it.

      More recently I tried Afterplace which also has a meta theme but the gameplay is more like a simplified Zelda and I really loved the writing.
