Undertale

I don't understand the hype. I searched on Caltrops and nobody really reviewed it, but of the few mentions it looks like the consensus was that it was kind of crap, proving that, once again, Caltrops is one of the only places you can trust for recommendations.

Don't get me wrong, the battle system is inspired. Both the bullet-hell defense mini-game, and the mercy system turning encounters into small puzzles if you don't want to fight. I also enjoyed the opening up through leaving Toriel. After that, the game rapidly wore out its welcome. I've spent two and a half hours walking from left to right in a giant corridor while jokez happen or wacky flavor text if you inspect things. I guess the appeal is lol so random? It feels like the game is constantly wasting my time, even in battle.

It's made by 1 guy who I guess sold 5 million copies now, so, hey, good on him for becoming a millionaire. There's a couple of good ideas in here so it's not like it's total garbage, but jesus it's overrated.
