It's one of my favourite games ever!

It feels like a bit of a bait to ask about it here though, because GameFAQs is a bit of an echo chamber of hate for it, even outside of b8.

If you don't like it by the end of Snowdin, I'd say there's pretty much zero chance of your opinion changing as you go further. It's just not for you.

I'd say it's a game for people who seek irreverent, quirky things, simple joys, and stories that are optimistic and sincere, and that wear their heart on their sleeve. It's not for people who strongly prefer tightly written, intellectually stimulating, dramatically intense stories, layered in intrigue and metaphor. Nor people who put focus into gameplay over narrative, since it's such a mechanically simple game. Also, some of its defining traits were mildly novel at the time it came out (e.g. not killing things, and the game being aware of multiple playthroughs), but aren't particularly remarkable now.

Would you enjoy games like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or Earthbound? Shows like Adventure Time or Owl House? Then Undertale probably has a chance to resonate with you. If not, then it probably won't.
