(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll say 6/10.

Just finished a true pacifist route a week or two ago. I tend to like games that do things different but this game seemed kind of weird at parts and was kind of hit or miss. Like the Papyrus date sequence and then Undyne just letting her house burn down just seemed weird to me. Also the sequence at the end of the Neutral pacifist run with Flowey was really freaky and borderline jump scare I guess I could talk about the good parts, like Alphys hacking the system to get you through but I see a lot of high scores so I thought I'd try to defend a lower score.

I didn't do the genocide route. I'll let my characters keep their happy ending, heh. I heard that from a gameplay perspective, it's very boring finding all the enemy encounters, aside from 2 very tough bosses. I tend to dislike super bosses, so I doubt I'd find it fun. Plus I was kind of sick of the game after playing through it twice. I did read the FAQ though. Maybe I'll watch that video linked earlier too.

It has some innovative storytelling techniques, but I feel it relies too heavily on meta-fictional commentary about video games and neither the cast of characters nor the comedy really resonate with me.

There's a few dumb plot points where it becomes too anime...if that makes sense (I'm looking at you Pacificist route final boss fight).

I more or less agree with these two criticisms, but it's still pretty good.

7 I suppose.
